Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the UB3C-2R2F8 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Resistance value: 2.2 Ohms
  • Tolerance: ±1%
  • Power rating: 3W
  • Composition: Wirewound
  • Package: Axial
  • Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 43F2R2E from Ohmite meets all these criteria. Both parts are wirewound axial resistors with identical electrical specifications and regulatory compliance. Physical dimensions differ between the two parts; however, both maintain the same electrical performance and thermal characteristics required for current sensing applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the UB3C-2R2F8 and 43F2R2E are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts should be based on:

  • PCB layout constraints: The UB3C-2R2F8 has a smaller physical footprint (4.00mm diameter x 8.90mm length) compared to the 43F2R2E (5.60mm diameter x 15.10mm length). Space-constrained applications may require the Riedon part.
  • Packaging requirements: The UB3C-2R2F8 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the 43F2R2E is supplied in Bulk packaging. Procurement and assembly processes should align with available packaging options.
  • Electrical performance is equivalent across both parts for current sensing applications within the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 43F2R2E replace the UB3C-2R2F8 in all applications?
