WHC200FE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WHC200FE is a 200 Ohms ±1% 2W axial wirewound through-hole resistor manufactured by Ohmite. This component is classified as Active and maintains full availability with 991 pieces in stock. The WHC200FE serves applications requiring precision resistive elements with stable performance across industrial temperature ranges. Substitute parts are identified when packaging configurations differ, when series variants offer equivalent electrical performance, or when product discontinuation necessitates alternative sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WHC200FE are identified based on electrical parameter equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute (Packaging Variant): The WHC200FET maintains identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms ±1%, 2W, ±20ppm/°C, -55°C to 150°C operating range) and mechanical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.449" L). The distinction is packaging format: WHC200FET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration versus the standard packaging of WHC200FE. Both components are Active status with full inventory availability.

Parametric Equivalent (Series Variant): The WNC200FE represents a parametric equivalent from Ohmite's WN series. This component matches all critical electrical parameters: 200 Ohms ±1%, 2W power rating, ±20ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and identical -55°C to 150°C operating temperature range. Mechanical dimensions remain identical (0.180" Dia x 0.449" L). The WNC200FE incorporates non-inductive wirewound construction as a distinguishing feature. Product status is Discontinued at DiGi Electronics; however, 677 pieces remain in stock. This variant is suitable for applications where non-inductive characteristics provide performance benefits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

WHC200FE (Primary Selection): The WHC200FE is the primary component specification. It maintains Active product status with robust inventory levels (991 pieces). Full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status satisfy regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

WHC200FET (Packaging Alternative): The WHC200FET is electrically and mechanically identical to WHC200FE, differing only in packaging format (Cut Tape). Selection of WHC200FET is appropriate when automated assembly processes or tape-and-reel handling requirements are specified. Higher inventory availability (1576 pieces) may provide supply chain advantages. Both components maintain Active status and identical compliance certifications.

WNC200FE (Series Variant with Non-Inductive Construction): The WNC200FE is suitable for applications where non-inductive wirewound characteristics are required. All electrical parameters remain equivalent to WHC200FE. Product status is Discontinued at DiGi Electronics; selection should account for long-term availability constraints. Inventory of 677 pieces supports current procurement needs. This variant maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WHC200FET be used as a direct replacement for WHC200FE? A: Yes. WHC200FET and WHC200FE are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: WHC200FET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling specifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between WHC200FE and WNC200FE? A: Both components share identical electrical specifications (200 Ohms ±1%, 2W, ±20ppm/°C, -55°C to 150°C) and mechanical dimensions. WNC200FE incorporates non-inductive wirewound construction, which reduces parasitic inductance. This feature is beneficial in high-frequency or precision measurement applications. WNC200FE is discontinued at DiGi Electronics; WHC200FE remains Active.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. WHC200FE, WHC200FET, and WNC200FE are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, satisfying regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial markets.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: WHC200FE or WHC200FET are recommended for new designs due to Active product status. WHC200FET offers higher inventory availability. WNC200FE should be selected only when non-inductive characteristics are a functional requirement, with awareness of discontinued status.

Q: Do these parts have identical physical dimensions? A: Yes. All three parts share identical axial package dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.449" L (4.57mm x 11.40mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in through-hole PCB applications.
