RJ-6S102 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RJ-6S102 is a 1 kOhm, 0.5W through-hole trimmer potentiometer manufactured by Nidec Components Corporation. This cermet-based side-adjustment component is designed for PC pin termination in applications requiring precision resistance tuning. The part is currently active in production with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility parameters are maintained across alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RJ-6S102 and 72XR1KLF are classified as direct electrical substitutes based on the following matching parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Tolerance: ±10%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Number of turns: 1
• Adjustment type: Side Adjustment
• Resistive material: Cermet
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination style: PC Pins
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Both parts share identical electrical performance specifications and functional characteristics. Substitution is valid where mechanical envelope constraints permit the dimensional difference between the two components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RJ-6S102 and 72XR1KLF are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for current design implementations. Selection between these parts is determined by printed circuit board layout constraints and available mounting space. The RJ-6S102 features a smaller rectangular footprint (7.00mm x 6.60mm), while the 72XR1KLF occupies a larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm). Electrical performance and functional characteristics are equivalent across both components. PCB design requirements and available component clearance should guide the final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 72XR1KLF replace the RJ-6S102 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the larger square footprint (9.53mm x 9.53mm) fits within the available PCB space. All electrical specifications, power ratings, and functional characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is the physical package dimension. The RJ-6S102 has a rectangular face (7.00mm x 6.60mm), while the 72XR1KLF has a square face (9.53mm x 9.53mm). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RJ-6S102 and 72XR1KLF are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The RJ-6S102 has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited). The 72XR1KLF lists MSL as Not Applicable. Both are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: What determines whether substitution is possible?

A: Substitution is valid when the replacement part maintains identical electrical specifications (resistance, power rating, tolerance, temperature coefficient, number of turns, adjustment type, and resistive material) and compatible mechanical characteristics (mounting type, termination style, and physical envelope). The 72XR1KLF meets all electrical criteria but requires verification of available PCB space due to its larger footprint.
