Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the UB5C-560RF8 is determined by strict adherence to the following core electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 560 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package configuration: Axial through-hole
• Temperature coefficient: ±20ppm/°C
• Number of terminations: 2

All substitute parts listed maintain these critical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions, operating temperature range limits, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk vs. Cut Tape), and secondary features (such as moisture resistance or non-inductive construction) do not affect functional equivalence within standard circuit applications. The substitute parts are 45F560E (Ohmite), RS005560R0FE73 (Vishay Dale), and WHE560FET (Ohmite).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts—UB5C-560RF8, 45F560E, RS005560R0FE73, and WHE560FET—are functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 560 Ohms ±1% 5W axial wirewound resistor. Selection among these parts should be based on:

Compliance and Certification: The UB5C-560RF8 and RS005560R0FE73 are ROHS3 compliant, while 45F560E and WHE560FET are RoHS compliant. Both compliance levels are acceptable for standard applications.

Operating Temperature Range: The UB5C-560RF8 operates from -55°C to 250°C. The 45F560E extends to 275°C, the RS005560R0FE73 extends to -65°C, and the WHE560FET is limited to 150°C. Selection should align with application temperature requirements.

Packaging and Availability: The UB5C-560RF8 is supplied in Tape & Reel format with 865 units in stock. The 45F560E is supplied in Bulk (1154 units), RS005560R0FE73 in Cut Tape (1390 units), and WHE560FET in unspecified packaging (2078 units). Packaging choice depends on assembly process requirements and procurement volume.

REACH Status: The UB5C-560RF8 and RS005560R0FE73 are REACH Unaffected. The 45F560E and WHE560FET show Vendor Undefined REACH status. For applications requiring confirmed REACH compliance, UB5C-560RF8 or RS005560R0FE73 are preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the UB5C-560RF8 with any of the listed equivalent parts?

A: Yes. All listed parts—45F560E, RS005560R0FE73, and WHE560FET—are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and axial package configuration. Substitution is valid for standard circuit applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these equivalent parts?

A: The primary differences are physical dimensions, operating temperature range limits, packaging format, and secondary features. The UB5C-560RF8 includes current sensing, flame-proof, and pulse-withstanding features. The RS005560R0FE73 includes moisture resistance. The WHE560FET includes non-inductive construction. These features do not affect functional equivalence for basic resistor applications.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution?

A: Operating temperature range does not affect functional equivalence but must align with application requirements. If your circuit operates within -55°C to 150°C, all parts are suitable. If operation extends to 250°C or beyond, the WHE560FET is not suitable. If operation extends below -55°C, only RS005560R0FE73 (-65°C minimum) is suitable.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The UB5C-560RF8 is supplied in Tape & Reel. The 45F560E is supplied in Bulk. The RS005560R0FE73 is supplied in Cut Tape. The WHE560FET packaging is unspecified. Packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The UB5C-560RF8 and RS005560R0FE73 are ROHS3 compliant. The 45F560E and WHE560FET are RoHS compliant. Both compliance levels meet standard environmental regulations.

Q: Which part has the best inventory availability?

A: The WHE560FET has the highest inventory with 2078 units in stock, followed by RS005560R0FE73 with 1390 units, 45F560E with 1154 units, and UB5C-560RF8 with 865 units.
