Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN70C1502FB14 qualifies as a substitute for the RN65C1502FRSL based on the following electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 kOhms (identical)
• Tolerance: ±1% (identical)
• Composition: Metal Film (identical)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 175°C (identical)
• Package Type: Axial (identical)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military Grade, Moisture Resistant, Safety (identical)

Differing Parameter:

• Power Rating: RN70C1502FB14 is rated at 0.75W (3/4W), which exceeds the 0.5W requirement of the RN65C1502FRSL

The RN70C1502FB14 belongs to the Military MIL-R-10509/3 series and maintains all critical electrical specifications while providing increased power dissipation capability. The higher power rating does not compromise circuit performance in applications designed for the lower-rated component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65C1502FRSL and RN70C1502FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical regulatory compliance status. The RN70C1502FB14 provides equivalent electrical performance with enhanced power dissipation capability. Selection between these parts should be based on circuit power requirements and packaging format availability. The RN70C1502FB14 is suitable for applications where the original 0.5W specification can accommodate the higher 0.75W rating without thermal or space constraints. Both components maintain identical temperature stability, tolerance, and military-grade construction specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RN70C1502FB14 directly replace the RN65C1502FRSL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RN70C1502FB14 maintains identical electrical specifications (15 kOhms ±1%, ±50ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range) and package type (Axial). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.5W) does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for the lower-rated component.

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

A: The RN70C1502FB14 has a higher power dissipation rating of 0.75W compared to the RN65C1502FRSL at 0.5W. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both components use axial through-hole packaging with identical physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L). The RN65C1502FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the RN70C1502FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Q: Do these parts have the same military specifications?

A: Both parts meet military-grade standards with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance. The RN65C1502FRSL follows MIL-R-10509/2, while the RN70C1502FB14 follows MIL-R-10509/3. Both maintain identical operating temperature ranges and safety features.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, EAR99 ECCN classification, and 8533.21.0090 HTSUS code.
