Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TWM5J560 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the TWM series. The substitute part TWM5J560E maintains identical electrical specifications: 560 Ohm resistance value, ±5% tolerance, 5W power rating, and metal oxide film composition. Mechanical compatibility is preserved through identical radial package configuration and physical dimensions (12.50mm × 9.00mm × 26.00mm seated height). Both parts operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 275°C) with matching temperature coefficient (±350ppm/°C) and feature identical flame-proof and safety characteristics. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.
