Engineering Selection Recommendations

RS00568R00FS73 (Tape & Reel Format): Select this part number for high-volume production environments where automated tape-fed assembly processes are utilized. This packaging format is optimized for pick-and-place equipment and reel-based component handling systems.

RS00568R00FE73 (Cut Tape Format): Select this part number for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The Cut Tape packaging is suitable for manual assembly, low-to-medium volume production, or applications with specific regulatory requirements. This variant offers higher current inventory availability at 1350 pieces.

Both part numbers maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between them depends on assembly methodology, regulatory compliance requirements, and packaging logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RS00568R00FE73 be used as a direct replacement for RS00568R00FS73?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with 68 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 5W power rating, and identical physical dimensions. The only differences are packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and compliance certifications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components in individual tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical specifications. Both variants maintain identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature characteristics.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both part numbers?

A: Yes. Both RS00568R00FS73 and RS00568R00FE73 share identical axial dimensions of 0.312" diameter by 0.875" length (7.92mm x 22.23mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in circuit board layouts and component spacing.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on assembly process and regulatory requirements. For automated production with no specific compliance mandates, either part is suitable. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH unaffected status, RS00568R00FE73 is the appropriate choice.
