Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RSF2JB36K0 is determined by maintaining the following critical parameters: resistance value (36 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), composition (metal oxide film), axial package configuration, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 235°C). Variations in packaging format (Bulk, Cut Tape, Tape & Reel) do not affect electrical performance. Power rating upgrades from 2W to 3W represent functional enhancements that maintain backward compatibility. All identified substitutes are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc within the RSF/RSMF series and retain ROHS3 compliance and identical temperature coefficients.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RSF2JT36K0 serves as a direct electrical equivalent to RSF2JB36K0, differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Both maintain identical electrical specifications and are suitable for applications requiring 36 kOhms ±5% 2W resistors. Selection between these two depends on procurement and assembly requirements rather than electrical performance.

RSMF3JT36K0 represents an upgraded substitute with increased power rating (3W versus 2W) while maintaining all other electrical parameters. This part is applicable in applications where the original 2W specification can accommodate higher power dissipation capability. The upgrade from flame retardant to flame proof coating provides enhanced safety characteristics. All three parts are Active status and ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory compliance and long-term availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RSF2JT36K0 replace RSF2JB36K0 in production? A: Yes. RSF2JT36K0 is electrically identical to RSF2JB36K0. The difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Both deliver 36 kOhms ±5% at 2W with identical temperature coefficients and operating ranges. Selection depends on assembly line compatibility and procurement logistics.

Q: Is RSMF3JT36K0 a suitable substitute for RSF2JB36K0? A: Yes, with consideration for power rating. RSMF3JT36K0 maintains the same resistance, tolerance, and temperature characteristics but provides 3W power rating instead of 2W. This upgrade is compatible with applications designed for 2W resistors and offers additional thermal margin. The flame proof coating enhancement provides improved safety performance.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability? A: Resistance value (36 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), composition (metal oxide film), axial package configuration, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 235°C) are the critical parameters. Power rating can be upgraded without affecting compatibility. Packaging format (Bulk, Cut Tape, Tape & Reel) does not impact electrical performance.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. RSF2JB36K0, RSF2JT36K0, and RSMF3JT36K0 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the difference between flame retardant and flame proof coatings? A: Both coatings provide safety characteristics. Flame retardant coating (RSF2JB36K0, RSF2JT36K0) resists ignition and slows flame propagation. Flame proof coating (RSMF3JT36K0) provides enhanced fire resistance. Selection depends on application safety requirements and thermal environment specifications.
