CF14JB3K60

Overview

The CF14JB3K60 is a fixed through-hole resistor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. It utilizes carbon film technology with an axial leaded tubular package. The component features a resistance value of 3.6 kOhms and a power rating of 0.25W (1/4W). It maintains a tolerance of ±5% and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. The physical dimensions are approximately 2.3 mm in diameter and 6 mm in length, with a maximum working voltage of 350V.

Feature Summary

• Constructed using carbon film composition for stable general-purpose performance.
• Features a flame-retardant coating to enhance safety during operation.
• Designed for through-hole mounting on printed circuit boards.
• Capable of operating reliably across a wide industrial temperature spectrum.

Applications

• General purpose electronic circuits
• Consumer electronics assemblies
• Industrial control equipment
• Power supply filtering networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packaging configuration required for your assembly line, as this component may be available in bulk or reel formats depending on the supplier. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the desired termination style and moisture sensitivity level requirements. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if applicable to your manufacturing environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against authorized distributor catalogs to guarantee authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 1/4W carbon film resistor is required for non-critical signal paths. The ±5% tolerance suits applications where precise resistance values are not mandatory. Consider the axial form factor for manual insertion or wave soldering processes. Evaluate the 350V rating against peak circuit voltages to ensure adequate safety margins under all operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CF series of carbon film resistors from Stackpole Electronics. These components are widely used in cost-sensitive designs requiring reliable passive resistance. The CF series offers a broad range of resistance values and power ratings, making it a versatile choice for mass-produced consumer goods and general industrial hardware.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include CF14JT3K60 for reel packaging variants. Other generic carbon film resistors with matching 1/4W power, 3.6kOhm resistance, and ±5% tolerance may serve as functional equivalents if physical dimensions and voltage ratings align.
