Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJS2K5E qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is determined by the following critical parameters that must match:

• Resistance value: 2.5k Ohm
• Power rating: 50W
• Taper type: Linear
• Number of turns: 1
• Resistive material: Wirewound
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount
• Rotation angle: 300°
• Bushing thread specification: 3/8-32
• Body diameter: 2.310" (58.67mm)

The RJS2K5E maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RJS2K5, differing only in RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RJS2K5E is a direct functional equivalent to the RJS2K5. Both parts are manufactured by Ohmite and maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: the RJS2K5E is ROHS3 compliant, while the RJS2K5 is non-compliant. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements applicable to the end application. Both parts are active in production and available in inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RJS2K5E be used as a direct replacement for RJS2K5? A: Yes. The RJS2K5E is electrically and mechanically identical to the RJS2K5. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and mounting specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between RJS2K5 and RJS2K5E? A: The RJS2K5E is ROHS3 compliant, while the RJS2K5 is RoHS non-compliant. All other specifications are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting RJS2K5E for RJS2K5? A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts share identical resistance values, power ratings, taper characteristics, termination styles, and panel mount configurations.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, specify RJS2K5E. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is suitable.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging? A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging.
