Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 15FR005E qualifies as a direct substitute for the 15FR005 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, features, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package type, and physical dimensions. The primary distinction is packaging format and RoHS compliance status. Substitution is valid when these packaging and compliance differences align with application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 15FR005 and 15FR005E depends on regulatory and procurement requirements. The 15FR005E offers ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS directives. The 15FR005 remains available for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in current sensing circuits. Packaging format differences (standard versus bulk) may influence procurement workflows and inventory management strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 15FR005 and 15FR005E electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance (5 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (5W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 275°C).

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers? A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and RoHS compliance status. The 15FR005E is ROHS3 compliant, while the 15FR005 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use 15FR005E as a drop-in replacement for 15FR005? A: Yes, provided your application permits ROHS3-compliant components. Physical dimensions and electrical characteristics are identical, ensuring mechanical and functional compatibility.

Q: Are there any thermal or performance differences? A: No. Both parts share identical temperature coefficients, operating temperature ranges, and non-inductive metal element construction.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs? A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, use 15FR005E. For applications without RoHS mandates, either part is suitable based on availability and packaging preferences.
