Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WHC5R0FE are identified through strict matching of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 5 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 2W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 150°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.449" L (4.57mm x 11.40mm)
• Compliance certifications: RoHS3, REACH Unaffected

The WHC5R0FET is classified as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with the primary distinction being packaging format (Cut Tape versus standard packaging).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both WHC5R0FE and WHC5R0FET are Active status components manufactured by Ohmite with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain availability. The WHC5R0FE is available in standard packaging format with 904 units in stock. The WHC5R0FET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging with 4686 units in stock. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for direct circuit substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WHC5R0FET replace WHC5R0FE in production assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is packaging format. WHC5R0FET uses Cut Tape packaging, while WHC5R0FE uses standard packaging. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. They meet the same regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: What determines substitutability for this resistor category?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching resistance value (5 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (2W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 150°C), and axial package dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.449" L). All these parameters must align for direct functional equivalence.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Cut Tape and standard packaging formats do not affect electrical characteristics. Packaging selection is based on assembly process requirements and inventory management.
