Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the VM7JB5R60 and SQMW75R6J maintain Active product status and satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements. The SQMW75R6J offers equivalent electrical performance with marginally reduced physical dimensions (0.5mm width reduction, 0.5mm height reduction), making it suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining full functional compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and specific PCB layout constraints. The SQMW75R6J currently maintains higher inventory availability at 2389 units in stock compared to 744 units for the VM7JB5R60.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can SQMW75R6J replace VM7JB5R60 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (5.6 Ohms, ±5%, 7W, ±300ppm/°C, -55°C to 250°C) and equivalent mechanical packaging (radial through-hole). The minor dimensional differences (0.5mm width and height reduction) do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between these parts? A: The SQMW75R6J is slightly more compact: width reduced by 0.5mm (9.00mm vs 9.50mm) and height reduced by 0.5mm (40.00mm vs 40.50mm). Length remains identical at 13.00mm. These differences are negligible for most applications but should be verified for space-critical layouts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards? A: Both the VM7JB5R60 and SQMW75R6J are ROHS3 Compliant. The VM7JB5R60 carries REACH Unaffected status, while the SQMW75R6J shows Vendor Undefined REACH status. Confirm REACH requirements with your supply chain if applicable to your end application.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance? A: Both parts maintain ±300ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the full operating range of -55°C to 250°C. This specification ensures predictable resistance drift in thermal cycling applications.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications? A: Both parts feature flame-proof and moisture-resistant construction with safety certification, supporting use in demanding industrial and automotive environments within the specified temperature range.
