Ohmite WHB5R0FE 5 Ohm 1% 1W Axial Wirewound Resistor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Ohmite WHB5R0FE is a 5 Ohm ±1% 1W through-hole resistor with axial wirewound construction. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability is limited, procurement lead times are extended, or design flexibility permits alternative packaging configurations while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the WHB5R0FE is determined by the following criteria:

  • Resistance value: 5 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
  • Power rating: 1W (exact match required)
  • Composition: Wirewound (exact match required)
  • Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
  • Package type: Axial (exact match required)
  • Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

Packaging configuration (Cut Tape, Bulk, or standard) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Physical dimensions may vary within the axial package category. Operating temperature range may exceed the minimum specification without affecting substitution validity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts meet the electrical and mechanical requirements of the WHB5R0FE. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on:

  • Packaging configuration availability: WHB5R0FET is supplied in Cut Tape; 41F5R0E is supplied in Bulk; RS01A5R000FE70 is supplied in Cut Tape
  • Inventory availability and procurement lead times
  • Compliance certifications: All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
  • Manufacturer preference within design and supply chain specifications

The Vishay Dale RS01A5R000FE70 offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 250°C) and moisture-resistant construction, providing additional environmental performance beyond the base specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WHB5R0FET be used as a direct replacement for WHB5R0FE?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Ohmite with identical electrical specifications (5 Ohms ±1%, 1W, ±50ppm/°C). The difference is packaging configuration: WHB5R0FET is supplied in Cut Tape while WHB5R0FE uses standard packaging. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between the Ohmite 41F5R0E and WHB5R0FE?

A: Both are Ohmite wirewound axial resistors with identical electrical specifications. The 41F5R0E belongs to the Ohmicone® 40 series and is supplied in Bulk packaging. Physical dimensions differ slightly (0.126" Dia x 0.437" L versus 0.130" Dia x 0.276" L), but both conform to axial package standards.

Q: Is the Vishay Dale RS01A5R000FE70 compatible with the WHB5R0FE?

A: Yes. The RS01A5R000FE70 meets all electrical requirements (5 Ohms ±1%, 1W, ±50ppm/°C) and is ROHS3 compliant. It features moisture-resistant construction and an extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 250°C). Physical dimensions are smaller (0.094" Dia x 0.406" L), but axial package compatibility is maintained.

Q: Does packaging configuration affect circuit performance?

A: No. Cut Tape, Bulk, and standard packaging configurations do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in through-hole applications. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and inventory management.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
