Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RL20S470GR36 has one identified substitute: RL20S470GB14. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 47 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±2% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W/1/2W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.375" L (exact match required)
• Military specification: MIL-PRF-22684/02 (exact match required)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety (exact match required)

The only difference between the main part and its substitute is the packaging format: RL20S470GR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RL20S470GB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RL20S470GR36 and RL20S470GB14 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Dale to identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

• RL20S470GR36 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RL20S470GB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly, repair, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain MIL-PRF-22684/02 military specification compliance, identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, and equivalent reliability characteristics. Component selection should align with assembly methodology and procurement logistics rather than electrical performance, as both parts are functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RL20S470GB14 be used as a direct replacement for RL20S470GR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: RL20S470GR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while RL20S470GB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Substitution is valid for any application where the packaging format is compatible with assembly requirements.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the RL20S470GR36?

A: Substitution eligibility requires exact matching of: resistance value (47 Ohms), tolerance (±2%), power rating (0.5W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), package type (Axial), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.375" L), military specification (MIL-PRF-22684/02), and features (Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety).

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both RL20S470GR36 and RL20S470GB14 share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: RL20S470GR36 in Tape & Reel format is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly processes. RL20S470GB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly or repair applications.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-PRF-22684/02 military specifications and feature identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.
