Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The B8J6K0E is classified as a parametric equivalent to the B8J6K0 based on the following matching criteria:

• Resistance value: 6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 8W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.313" Dia x 1.000" L (7.94mm x 25.40mm)
• Temperature coefficient: ±260ppm/°C
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Safety
• Number of terminations: 2

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance specifications and mechanical compatibility, allowing direct substitution in circuit applications where these parameters are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both B8J6K0 and B8J6K0E are active production parts from Ohmite with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: B8J6K0 is RoHS non-compliant, while B8J6K0E is RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, B8J6K0E is the appropriate selection. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part may be used based on availability and procurement lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can B8J6K0E be used as a direct replacement for B8J6K0?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (6 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (8W), composition (wirewound), package type (axial), physical dimensions (0.313" Dia x 1.000" L), temperature coefficient (±260ppm/°C), and safety features. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main difference is RoHS compliance status. B8J6K0E is RoHS Compliant, while B8J6K0 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are functionally equivalent in all electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.313" Dia x 1.000" L (7.94mm x 25.40mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design?

A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. If RoHS compliance is mandated, select B8J6K0E. If RoHS compliance is not required, either part may be selected based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: Are there any differences in temperature performance?

A: No. Both parts have identical temperature coefficient specifications of ±260ppm/°C, providing equivalent thermal stability across operating conditions.
