Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RLR07C3901GSB14 be used as a direct replacement for RLR07C3901GSBSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all electrical and mechanical specifications. They share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and axial package dimensions. Both are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the MIL-PRF-39017/01 military series.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical dimensions of 0.090" diameter by 0.250" length (2.29mm x 6.35mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RLR07C3901GSBSL and RLR07C3901GSB14 comply with MIL-PRF-39017/01 specifications and are part of the RLR07 military-grade resistor series. Both feature moisture-resistant, weldable metal film construction with a failure rate of S (0.001%).

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor?

A: Substitution is based on matching resistance value (3.9 kOhms), tolerance (±2%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C), and physical dimensions (0.090" Dia x 0.250" L).

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (affected), ECCN (EAR99), and HTSUS classification (8533.21.0090). Compliance profiles are equivalent.
