Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RH005R5000FE02 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RH005R5000FC02 based on the following equivalence criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Resistance value: 500 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 7.5W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 250°C

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Composition: Wirewound
• Housing type: Aluminum
• Mounting feature: Flanges
• Lead style: Solder Lugs
• Package type: Axial, Box
• Physical dimensions: 0.600" L x 0.646" W (15.24mm x 16.41mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.335" (8.51mm)

Series Designation:

• Both components belong to the Vishay Dale RH series

The substitution is valid because all functional, electrical, and mechanical parameters remain constant between the two part numbers.
