Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 825F16RE is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 16 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 25W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Mounting configuration: Chassis mount with flanges
• Lead termination: Solder lugs
• Housing material: Aluminum
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS status

The ARCOL HS25 16R F meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria for direct substitution. Physical dimensions and temperature coefficient variations remain within acceptable tolerances for equivalent functional performance in chassis mount applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Ohmite 825F16RE and ARCOL HS25 16R F are active production components with full RoHS compliance certification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability: The 825F16RE maintains higher inventory (820 units) compared to the HS25 16R F (723 units)
• Temperature coefficient stability: The 825F16RE offers superior temperature stability at ±20ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C for the ARCOL equivalent
• Regulatory requirements: Both meet RoHS standards; the 825F16RE carries ROHS3 certification while the HS25 16R F carries standard RoHS compliance
• Packaging: The 825F16RE is supplied in box packaging; the HS25 16R F is supplied in bulk packaging

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ARCOL HS25 16R F directly replace the Ohmite 825F16RE in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (16 Ohms, ±1%, 25W wirewound) and mechanical mounting configurations (aluminum chassis mount with flanges and solder lugs). Physical dimensions are comparable within standard manufacturing tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The Ohmite 825F16RE operates at ±20ppm/°C while the ARCOL HS25 16R F operates at ±100ppm/°C. In applications requiring minimal resistance drift across the full operating temperature range (-55°C to 275°C), the 825F16RE provides superior stability. For general-purpose applications, both coefficients are acceptable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 825F16RE is supplied in box packaging, while the HS25 16R F is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects handling, storage, and inventory management but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both components are RoHS compliant. The 825F16RE carries ROHS3 certification, representing the most current RoHS standard. The HS25 16R F carries standard RoHS compliance. Both are REACH unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export purposes.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either component is acceptable based on availability and performance requirements. The 825F16RE is recommended when superior temperature stability is required or when ROHS3 certification is mandated by specification.
