Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TAP600K5R0 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 5 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Power rating: 600W
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±150ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C
• Coating type: Epoxy Coated
• Mounting configuration: Flanged with M5 threaded leads
• Physical dimensions: 65.00mm L × 60.00mm W × 32.50mm H (Max)

The TAP600K5R0E meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute within the TAP600 series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TAP600K5R0E is the direct substitute for the obsolete TAP600K5R0. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the TAP600K5R0E is active and available, while the TAP600K5R0 is obsolete.

The TAP600K5R0E carries ROHS3 compliance, whereas the TAP600K5R0 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the TAP600K5R0E is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS constraints, both components provide equivalent electrical and thermal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TAP600K5R0E be used as a direct replacement for TAP600K5R0?

A: Yes. The TAP600K5R0E is electrically and mechanically identical to the TAP600K5R0 across all specified parameters, including resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating range, dimensions, and lead configuration.

Q: What is the difference between TAP600K5R0 and TAP600K5R0E?

A: The TAP600K5R0E is the active production variant of the same component. The TAP600K5R0 is obsolete. Additionally, the TAP600K5R0E is ROHS3 compliant, while the TAP600K5R0 is RoHS non-compliant. Packaging differs: TAP600K5R0 is supplied in Box format, while TAP600K5R0E is supplied in Bulk format.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both components share identical thermal and electrical specifications: 600W power rating, ±150ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 150°C operating range, and 5 Ohm ±10% resistance.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Box versus Bulk) does not affect electrical or thermal performance. It pertains only to supply and handling logistics.

Q: Is the TAP600K5R0E suitable for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: Yes. The TAP600K5R0E is ROHS3 compliant and is suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. The obsolete TAP600K5R0 is not RoHS compliant.
