Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RC14JB360K is based on the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 360 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package Type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.094" Dia x 0.248" L (exact match required)
• Composition: Carbon Composition (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±5% to ±10% (acceptable variance for functional equivalence)

The RC14KB360K qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. The tolerance difference (±10% versus ±5%) represents a relaxation of the tolerance specification, which is acceptable in applications where the original ±5% tolerance is not a strict requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC14KB360K is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete RC14JB360K. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (909 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity.

The tolerance specification difference (±10% versus ±5%) is the only electrical parameter variance. Selection of the RC14KB360K should be based on circuit tolerance requirements. Applications requiring strict ±5% tolerance specifications must evaluate whether the ±10% tolerance of the substitute is acceptable for the intended function.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC14KB360K directly replace RC14JB360K in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications where ±10% tolerance is acceptable. If the original design requires ±5% tolerance, circuit performance impact must be evaluated before substitution.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical axial package dimensions of 0.094" Dia x 0.248" L (2.40mm x 6.30mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in through-hole PCB assemblies.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The RC14JB360K is classified as obsolete. The RC14KB360K is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, providing continued availability for production and repair applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both RC14JB360K and RC14KB360K are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The main part is listed with standard packaging, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Both use identical axial component construction with no functional difference.
