OF362JE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The OF362JE is a 3.6 kOhms ±5% 0.5W through-hole resistor manufactured by Ohmite in the Little Demon® OF series. This carbon composition axial resistor features pulse withstanding capability and is designed for applications requiring reliable performance in compact form factors. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing maintenance, repair, and legacy system support.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the OF362JE is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: The substitute must operate within acceptable circuit tolerance. The OF332KE provides 3.3 kOhms, representing a 8.3% deviation from the original 3.6 kOhms specification.
• Tolerance: The substitute tolerance of ±10% must be evaluated against circuit requirements relative to the original ±5% tolerance.
• Power Rating: Both parts maintain identical 0.5W (1/2W) power handling capability.
• Package Type: Both parts use axial through-hole packaging with identical physical dimensions (0.150" Dia x 0.406" L).
• Composition: Both are carbon composition resistors with pulse withstanding features.
• Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

The OF332KE qualifies as a substitute based on matching package geometry, power rating, composition type, and compliance certifications. The resistance and tolerance variance must be evaluated within specific circuit application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the OF362JE and OF332KE are obsolete products within the Little Demon® OF series. Selection between these parts depends on circuit tolerance requirements and resistance value specifications.

The OF362JE provides tighter tolerance control at ±5%, suitable for applications with strict resistance value requirements. The OF332KE offers broader tolerance at ±10% with a lower nominal resistance value of 3.3 kOhms compared to 3.6 kOhms.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, power handling, composition type, and compliance certifications. Physical interchangeability is confirmed through matching axial package dimensions and termination configuration. The decision between these parts should be based on circuit schematic requirements for resistance value and tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OF332KE directly replace OF362JE in all applications?

A: Physical and mechanical interchangeability is confirmed. Electrical compatibility depends on circuit tolerance for the 3.3 kOhms versus 3.6 kOhms resistance difference and the ±10% versus ±5% tolerance variance. Circuit analysis is required to determine acceptability.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical axial package dimensions of 0.150" Dia x 0.406" L (3.80mm x 10.30mm), confirming board layout compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Both OF362JE and OF332KE maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, meeting current environmental and moisture sensitivity standards.

Q: What is the resistance value difference between these parts?

A: The OF362JE is rated at 3.6 kOhms while the OF332KE is rated at 3.3 kOhms, representing an 8.3% nominal difference. Combined with tolerance ranges, the OF362JE operates within 3.42–3.78 kOhms, while the OF332KE operates within 2.97–3.63 kOhms.

Q: Are both parts still in production?

A: Both parts are classified as obsolete. Availability is limited to existing inventory stocks.
