OD220JE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OD220JE is a 22 Ohm ±5% 1/4W axial through-hole resistor manufactured by Ohmite as part of the Little Demon® OD series. This carbon composition resistor features pulse withstanding capability and is designed for through-hole applications requiring reliable performance in legacy electronic equipment. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and new production runs of systems utilizing this component.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The OD220KE qualifies as a direct substitute for the OD220JE based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 22 Ohms
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Carbon Composition
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.098" Dia x 0.276" L (2.50mm x 7.00mm)
• Identical features: Pulse Withstanding
• Identical RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The tolerance specification differs (±10% for OD220KE versus ±5% for OD220JE). This tolerance variance is the only electrical parameter distinction between the two parts. Both parts maintain the same mechanical fit, thermal characteristics, and regulatory compliance profile.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OD220KE serves as a functional equivalent to the OD220JE for applications where the original part is no longer available. Both parts are obsolete and ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for legacy system maintenance and repair.

Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements. The OD220JE provides ±5% tolerance, suitable for applications with tighter resistance specifications. The OD220KE provides ±10% tolerance and is appropriate for applications where broader tolerance margins are acceptable.

Both parts share identical mechanical, thermal, and compliance characteristics, ensuring direct pin-compatible replacement without modification to PCB layouts or assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OD220KE replace OD220JE in any application?

A: The OD220KE is mechanically and electrically compatible with the OD220JE for applications tolerating ±10% resistance variance. Applications requiring ±5% tolerance specification must use the OD220JE or equivalent ±5% tolerance parts.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both OD220JE and OD220KE measure 0.098" diameter by 0.276" length (2.50mm x 7.00mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts?

A: The tolerance specification is the only electrical parameter difference. OD220JE specifies ±5% tolerance while OD220KE specifies ±10% tolerance. All other parameters, including resistance value, power rating, composition, package type, and compliance certifications, are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both OD220JE and OD220KE are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What does the MSL rating of 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity level, meaning the component requires no special moisture protection during storage, handling, or assembly processes.
