Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the R3J560 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute, R3J560E, maintains identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, package configuration, physical dimensions, and temperature coefficient. Both parts are manufactured by Ohmite within the PC-58 series and feature identical flame retardant coating and safety construction. The substitution is valid because all critical parameters that determine functional compatibility remain unchanged. The distinction between these parts lies in packaging format (bulk versus standard) and compliance certifications, not in electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both R3J560 and R3J560E are active production components suitable for direct substitution based on electrical and mechanical equivalence. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and packaging needs. The R3J560E variant offers ROHS3 compliance, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS certification. The R3J560 remains suitable for applications without RoHS compliance mandates. Packaging format (bulk versus standard) should be evaluated based on procurement and inventory management requirements. Both parts maintain identical performance characteristics across all critical electrical and thermal parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can R3J560E be used as a direct replacement for R3J560? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, physical dimensions, and temperature coefficient. The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between R3J560 and R3J560E? A: The R3J560E is packaged in bulk format and carries ROHS3 compliance certification, while the R3J560 uses standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-compliant applications? A: The R3J560E is ROHS3 compliant and should be selected for applications requiring RoHS certification or customer specifications mandating RoHS compliance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts? A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.438" L x 0.313" W (11.13mm x 7.95mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.469" (11.91mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient for these resistors? A: Both R3J560 and R3J560E have a temperature coefficient of ±260ppm/°C, providing stable resistance performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance? A: No. Bulk packaging (R3J560E) and standard packaging (R3J560) do not affect electrical or thermal performance. The difference is purely in procurement and handling format.
