Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 805F15R is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Temperature coefficient: ±20ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 275°C
• Mounting configuration: Flanged chassis mount
• Lead termination: Solder lugs
• Physical envelope: 0.600" L x 0.646" W x 0.330" H (seated)
• Housing material: Aluminum

The 805F15RE is a direct substitute, maintaining all electrical and mechanical parameters while differing only in packaging format (tray vs. bulk) and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 805F15RE is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 805F15R. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 805F15R is obsolete, while the 805F15RE is in active production.

For new designs and ongoing system support, the 805F15RE is the appropriate selection. This part maintains full compatibility with existing mechanical and electrical requirements while offering ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original 805F15R does not meet.

Packaging differs between the two parts (bulk vs. tray), but this distinction does not affect functional performance or mechanical fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 805F15RE be used as a direct replacement for the 805F15R?

A: Yes. The 805F15RE is electrically and mechanically identical to the 805F15R. All electrical parameters, physical dimensions, mounting features, and lead terminations are equivalent. The primary difference is product status and compliance certification.

Q: What is the difference between the bulk and tray packaging?

A: Packaging format affects order quantity and handling but does not impact component performance or mechanical compatibility. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: RoHS compliance status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The difference reflects manufacturing process and material composition changes. The 805F15RE meets ROHS3 requirements, while the 805F15R does not.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the 805F15R and 805F15RE share identical dimensions: 0.600" L x 0.646" W with a maximum seated height of 0.330". Mounting features, lead style, and housing material are also identical.

Q: Why is the 805F15R classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence typically reflects end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product line. The 805F15RE represents the active production continuation of this component family.
