Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the OX82GK is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part OX82GKE maintains identical specifications for resistance value, tolerance, power rating, ceramic composition, axial package configuration, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and temperature coefficient. Both parts feature identical moisture-resistant and pulse-withstanding characteristics with two terminations. The substitution is valid based on complete parameter alignment across all critical electrical and mechanical criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The OX82GKE is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete OX82GK. Both parts are manufactured by Ohmite and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is product status: OX82GK is obsolete while OX82GKE is active and currently available. Additionally, OX82GKE achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas OX82GK is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing production requiring this 8.2 Ohm 1W axial ceramic resistor, OX82GKE is the appropriate selection. The active product status and improved compliance profile of OX82GKE support its use as a direct replacement in applications previously utilizing OX82GK.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
