CF18JB5K60

Overview

The CF18JB5K60 is a through-hole carbon film resistor from the Stackpole Electronics Inc. CF series, designed for PCB mounting applications. It features a nominal resistance of 5.6 kOhms with a tolerance of ±2%. The component has a power rating of 0.125W (1/8W) and utilizes an axial package configuration. Key electrical specifications include a temperature coefficient ranging from 0 to -500ppm/°C and an operating temperature range of -55°C to +155°C. Physical dimensions are specified as 0.067 inches in diameter by 0.130 inches in length.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes carbon film technology for general-purpose resistive performance
• Features a flame-retardant coating for enhanced safety compliance
• Supports standard PCB mounting via axial lead configuration

Applications

• Commercial electronic equipment circuits
• Industrial control system signal conditioning
• General-purpose voltage division networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'JB' indicates the required ±2% tolerance against the datasheet. Confirm that the axial package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the 1/8W power rating is sufficient for the intended circuit load conditions under maximum ambient temperature constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a tighter tolerance than the standard 'JA' series is required for precision biasing or feedback loops. Consider the thermal environment carefully, as the 1/8W rating limits current handling capabilities compared to higher wattage variants. Verify compatibility with automated insertion processes if high-volume production is planned.

Part Context

This part belongs to the CF series of carbon film resistors manufactured by SEI Stackpole. The series is characterized by its reliability in commercial and industrial environments. The CF18JB5K60 represents a specific value within the broader family of axial leaded resistors, distinguished primarily by its 2% tolerance class.

Replacement Considerations

CF18JA5K60 offers equivalent physical dimensions but with ±5% tolerance. CF18JT5K60 provides the same resistance and tolerance but differs in packaging options such as reel or cut tape availability.
