RH00515K00FC02 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RH00515K00FC02 is a 15 kOhms ±1% 7.5W wirewound chassis mount resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for applications requiring precision resistance with high power dissipation capability. The part features aluminum housing with flanged mounting and solder lug termination, suitable for chassis-mounted applications in industrial and electronic equipment.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number experiences supply constraints, when design revisions require updated compliance certifications, or when alternative series options provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RH00515K00FE02 is a direct manufacturer equivalent within the RH series. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the RH00515K00FC02 while providing ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection of RH00515K00FE02 is appropriate for applications requiring updated regulatory compliance without design modification.

TMC00515K00FE02 is a parametric equivalent from the TMC series. This part delivers identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering ROHS3 compliance. The TMC series represents an alternative product line from Vishay Dale with equivalent functional characteristics. Selection of TMC00515K00FE02 is appropriate when supply availability or design flexibility permits series substitution.

Both substitute parts maintain Active product status and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original RH00515K00FC02 is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RH00515K00FE02 be used as a direct replacement for RH00515K00FC02?

A: Yes. RH00515K00FE02 is electrically and mechanically identical to RH00515K00FC02. Both parts share the same resistance value (15 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (7.5W), temperature coefficient (±20ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 250°C), and physical dimensions. The primary difference is improved regulatory compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between RH00515K00FE02 and TMC00515K00FE02?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent with identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is the product series designation: RH versus TMC. Both are manufactured by Vishay Dale and provide ROHS3 compliance. Series selection depends on design requirements and supply chain considerations.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the original RH00515K00FC02?

A: Yes. All substitute parts feature identical lead style (Solder Lugs), mounting feature (Flanges), and physical dimensions (0.600" L x 0.646" W, height 0.335" max). Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported without PCB or assembly modifications.

Q: What compliance differences exist between the main part and substitutes?

A: RH00515K00FC02 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both RH00515K00FE02 and TMC00515K00FE02 are ROHS3 Compliant. RH00515K00FE02 is REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations should specify the compliant substitute parts.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating range) and mechanical form factor. No design changes are required for substitution.
