Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RHS2R0 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RHS2R0E maintains identical specifications for resistance value, power rating, tolerance, taper type, number of turns, resistive material composition, termination style, mounting configuration, rotation angle, bushing thread specification, and physical body dimensions. These parameters define the functional and mechanical interchangeability of the component within its intended application. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to compliance certifications rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between RHS2R0 and RHS2R0E should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements applicable to the end application. The RHS2R0E is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance documentation. The RHS2R0 remains appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. Both parts are Active products with current manufacturer support and inventory availability. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit design and mechanical integration. Selection should prioritize compliance status alignment with applicable regional regulations and customer specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RHS2R0 and RHS2R0E electrically identical? A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance value (2 Ohm), power rating (25W), tolerance (±10%), taper (Linear), number of turns (1), and resistive material (Wirewound). They are electrically equivalent.

Q: Can RHS2R0E be used as a direct replacement for RHS2R0 in existing designs? A: Yes. The RHS2R0E maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including termination style (Solder Lug), mounting type (Panel Mount), bushing thread (3/8-32), and physical dimensions (1.560" diameter). Direct substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts? A: The primary difference is compliance certification. RHS2R0E is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, while RHS2R0 is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on regulatory requirements. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, specify RHS2R0E. For applications without RoHS compliance mandates, either part is acceptable based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Are both parts currently available? A: Yes. RHS2R0 has 1099 units in stock, and RHS2R0E has 1005 units in stock, both listed as New Original inventory.
