Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HS15 10R F are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

  • Resistance value: 10 Ohms (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (ensures specification compliance)
  • Composition: Wirewound (maintains electrical characteristics)
  • Housing type: Aluminum (thermal and mechanical compatibility)
  • Mounting feature: Flanges (mechanical interchangeability)
  • Lead style: Solder Lugs (connection compatibility)
  • Physical dimensions: 0.783" L x 0.827" W, 0.433" height (board layout compatibility)
  • RoHS compliance: Required for regulatory alignment

The ARCOL 810F10RE meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in power rating and temperature coefficient are noted but do not prevent functional substitution when thermal design margins are verified for the specific application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HS15 10R F and 810F10RE are active production components with full RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings. The primary distinction is the power rating differential: the HS15 10R F is rated at 15W while the 810F10RE is rated at 10W. Selection between these parts depends on the actual power dissipation requirements of the application. If the circuit design dissipates 10W or less across the resistor, the 810F10RE provides equivalent performance. If the application requires the full 15W capability, the HS15 10R F is the appropriate selection. Both parts share identical physical dimensions, mounting interfaces, and lead configurations, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability within their respective power ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ARCOL 810F10RE directly replace the Ohmite HS15 10R F in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the circuit design dissipates 10W or less. The 810F10RE is rated for 10W maximum, while the HS15 10R F is rated for 15W. If your application requires the full 15W capability, the HS15 10R F must be used.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.783" L x 0.827" W (19.90mm x 21.00mm) and a maximum seated height of 0.433" (11.00mm), ensuring identical board layout compatibility.

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

A: The HS15 10R F has a temperature coefficient of 100ppm/°C, while the 810F10RE has ±20ppm/°C. This means the 810F10RE exhibits lower resistance drift over temperature variations. For applications with tight tolerance requirements across temperature ranges, the 810F10RE may provide superior performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the HS15 10R F and 810F10RE are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What mounting interfaces do these parts use?

A: Both parts feature aluminum housing with flanged mounting and solder lug leads, providing identical mechanical and electrical connection compatibility.
