• Resistance value: 100 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package configuration: Radial through-hole
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 250°C
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C
• Functional features: Flame proof and moisture resistant
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute part SQMW5100RJ from TE Connectivity Passive Product meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct functional replacement in circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VM5JB100R and SQMW5100RJ are Active status components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical differentiation. The SQMW5100RJ currently maintains higher inventory levels (2879 units) compared to the VM5JB100R (917 units), making it suitable for high-volume procurement scenarios. Both components satisfy identical regulatory and compliance requirements for deployment in industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SQMW5100RJ directly replace VM5JB100R in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (100 Ohms ±5%, 5W), composition (wirewound), package configuration (radial), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 250°C). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variation exists in the width specification. VM5JB100R measures 0.512" L x 0.374" W (13.00mm x 9.50mm), while SQMW5100RJ measures 0.512" L x 0.354" W (13.00mm x 9.00mm). Both share identical height when seated (1.024" / 26.00mm). These variations do not affect PCB footprint compatibility for radial through-hole mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety and environmental standards?

A: Yes. Both VM5JB100R and SQMW5100RJ are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, with identical flame-proof and moisture-resistant features. Both are classified as Safety components.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification for these resistors?

A: Both parts specify ±300ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the full operating range of -55°C ~ 250°C.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for component selection?

A: SQMW5100RJ maintains significantly higher stock levels (2879 units) versus VM5JB100R (917 units). For applications requiring immediate fulfillment or large-quantity orders, SQMW5100RJ availability may provide supply chain advantages.
