Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RS005R2000FS73 is determined by maintaining electrical equivalence and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters for substitution are:

• Resistance value: 200 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Package case: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.312" Dia x 0.875" L
• Operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 250°C
• Moisture resistance feature

The RS005R2000FE73 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all electrical specifications and physical dimensions. The primary difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain identical components with no functional difference in the resistor itself.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RS005R2000FE73 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RS005R2000FS73. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements and regulatory compliance:

The RS005R2000FS73 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and REACH-affected materials are permitted. This part is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

The RS005R2000FE73 is the appropriate choice for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status. This substitute maintains identical electrical performance and physical dimensions while offering improved regulatory compliance. The Cut Tape packaging format requires manual handling or alternative assembly processes compared to Tape & Reel format.

Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0080) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RS005R2000FE73 be used as a direct replacement for RS005R2000FS73?

A: Yes. The RS005R2000FE73 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both components have identical resistance (200 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (5W), physical dimensions (0.312" Dia x 0.875" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 250°C). The difference is packaging format and regulatory compliance status.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) format supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, requiring manual handling or alternative assembly equipment. The resistor component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Does the packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. The resistor's electrical characteristics, physical dimensions, and performance specifications are identical regardless of packaging format. Packaging format only affects handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Why would I choose the substitute part if the main part is in stock?

A: The RS005R2000FE73 substitute offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH-unaffected status, which may be required for specific applications or markets. Additionally, the substitute has higher inventory availability (1150 Pcs vs. 869 Pcs).

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 250°C), resistance value (200 mOhms ±1%), and power rating (5W). Thermal and electrical performance are equivalent.
