Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TWM3J150 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Resistance value: 150 Ohms
  • Tolerance: ±5%
  • Power rating: 3W
  • Composition: Metal Oxide Film
  • Package configuration: Radial with 2 terminations
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 275°C
  • Physical dimensions: 0.492" L x 0.354" W with maximum seated height of 1.024"
  • Flame-proof and safety features

The TWM3J150E meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute for the obsolete TWM3J150.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TWM3J150E is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete TWM3J150. Both components share identical electrical specifications, thermal characteristics, and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the TWM3J150E is currently in active production and meets ROHS3 compliance requirements, whereas the TWM3J150 is obsolete and non-compliant with RoHS standards.

For new designs or component replacement in systems requiring RoHS compliance, the TWM3J150E is the appropriate selection. Both components maintain identical performance across all specified operating parameters and are mechanically interchangeable in radial through-hole PCB applications.
