Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The R5J200E is classified as a parametric equivalent to the R5J200. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±5%
• Identical power rating: 5W
• Identical composition: Wirewound
• Identical package type: Radial Lead
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±260ppm/°C
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.625" L x 0.344" W (15.88mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical seated height: 0.516" (13.11mm)
• Identical number of terminations: 2
• Same manufacturer: Ohmite
• Same series: PC-58

The primary differences between these parts relate to packaging format and compliance status, not electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both R5J200 and R5J200E are active production parts from Ohmite with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RoHS Compliance: The R5J200E is ROHS3 compliant, while the R5J200 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements for RoHS compliance must use the R5J200E.

Packaging Requirements: The R5J200E is supplied in bulk packaging, while the R5J200 uses standard packaging. Bulk packaging may be preferred for high-volume manufacturing operations.

Inventory Availability: The R5J200E has higher inventory availability (1138 units) compared to the R5J200 (775 units), making it suitable for applications with extended lead time requirements.

Moisture Sensitivity: The R5J200E specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating superior moisture handling characteristics compared to the R5J200 (Not Applicable).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can R5J200E be used as a direct replacement for R5J200?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, temperature coefficient, and physical dimensions. The R5J200E can be substituted for the R5J200 in any application.

Q: What is the difference between R5J200 and R5J200E?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard vs. bulk), RoHS compliance status (non-compliant vs. ROHS3 compliant), and inventory levels. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Which part should I select for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: The R5J200E is ROHS3 compliant and must be used for applications subject to RoHS directives or customer RoHS requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between R5J200 and R5J200E?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.625" L x 0.344" W (15.88mm x 8.74mm) and seated height of 0.516" (13.11mm), ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient for these resistors?

A: Both R5J200 and R5J200E have a temperature coefficient of ±260ppm/°C, indicating stable resistance performance across the operating temperature range.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-volume production?

A: Yes, provided compliance requirements are met. The R5J200E with bulk packaging and higher inventory may be more suitable for high-volume manufacturing operations.
