RHS10R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RHS10R is a 10 Ohm, 25W wirewound linear potentiometer manufactured by Ohmite, designed for panel mount applications with solder lug termination. This component is classified as Active product status and is currently in stock. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when specific compliance requirements must be met, or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer's product line.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RHS10RE qualifies as a direct substitute for the RHS10R based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid when the following core parameters match:

• Resistance value: 10 Ohms
• Power rating: 25W
• Taper characteristic: Linear
• Number of turns: 1
• Resistive material: Wirewound
• Termination style: Solder Lug
• Mounting configuration: Panel Mount
• Physical dimensions: Round body 1.560" diameter
• Bushing thread specification: 3/8-32
• Rotation angle: 300°

The RHS10RE maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RHS10R, differing only in compliance certification status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between RHS10R and RHS10RE should be based on regulatory compliance requirements:

The RHS10R is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. The RHS10RE is the appropriate choice for designs requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance verification. Both parts are Active status products from Ohmite's H series and maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical fit characteristics. The substitution is direct and interchangeable at the circuit and mechanical assembly level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RHS10RE replace RHS10R in existing designs? A: Yes. The RHS10RE is electrically and mechanically identical to the RHS10R. Direct substitution is valid for all applications where the parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between these parts? A: The RHS10RE is ROHS3 compliant and REACH compliant, while the RHS10R is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical? A: Yes. Both parts feature a round body of 1.560" diameter, identical bushing thread (3/8-32), actuator dimensions, and mounting configuration.

Q: Do these parts have the same resistance tolerance? A: Yes. Both parts maintain ±10% tolerance on the 10 Ohm resistance value.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 and REACH compliance, specify RHS10RE. For applications without these compliance mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability.
