TAP600K2R0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TAP600K2R0 is a 2 Ohms ±10% 600W thick film chassis mount resistor manufactured by Ohmite, part of the TAP600 series. This component is designed for high-power applications requiring robust thermal dissipation and mechanical stability through flanged mounting with M5 threaded leads.

The TAP600K2R0 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TAP600K2R0 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must match identically:

• Resistance value: 2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power rating: 600W
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C
• Coating/housing type: Epoxy Coated
• Mounting feature: Flanges
• Physical dimensions: 2.559" L × 2.362" W (65.00mm × 60.00mm)
• Height - seated (max): 1.280" (32.50mm)
• Lead style: M5 Threaded
• Package/case: Box

Packaging format differences (Box vs. Bulk) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and do not preclude substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TAP600K2R0E is a direct functional equivalent to the TAP600K2R0. Both components are manufactured by Ohmite within the TAP600 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The TAP600K2R0 is obsolete, while the TAP600K2R0E maintains active production status. Additionally, the TAP600K2R0E is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the TAP600K2R0 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or requiring long-term component availability, the TAP600K2R0E is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP600K2R0E be used as a direct replacement for TAP600K2R0?

A: Yes. The TAP600K2R0E is electrically and mechanically identical to the TAP600K2R0. All resistance, tolerance, power rating, thermal, dimensional, and mounting specifications are equivalent. The components are interchangeable in circuit design and PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between TAP600K2R0 and TAP600K2R0E?

A: The TAP600K2R0E is the active production variant. The TAP600K2R0 is obsolete. The TAP600K2R0E is ROHS3 compliant; the TAP600K2R0 is not. Packaging format differs (Bulk vs. Box), but this does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when substituting these parts?

A: The TAP600K2R0 is supplied in Box packaging, while the TAP600K2R0E is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. However, for applications or markets requiring RoHS compliance, the TAP600K2R0E must be selected.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components have identical dimensions of 2.559" L × 2.362" W (65.00mm × 60.00mm) with a maximum seated height of 1.280" (32.50mm). M5 threaded leads and flanged mounting features are identical on both parts.
