Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RS005R5000FE73 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the RS005R5000FS73 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Identical):

• Resistance value: 500 mOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Temperature coefficient: ±90ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 250°C

Mechanical Parameters (Identical):

• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.312" Dia x 0.875" L (7.92mm x 22.23mm)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Wirewound
• Features: Moisture Resistant

Packaging Difference: The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format. The RS005R5000FS73 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the RS005R5000FE73 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Use RS005R5000FS73 when:

• Tape and reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes
• RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application

Use RS005R5000FE73 when:

• Cut tape packaging is suitable for manual or semi-automated assembly
• ROHS3 compliance is mandated by design specifications or regulatory requirements
• Higher inventory availability is beneficial for supply chain planning

Both parts are active products from the same manufacturer and series. The RS005R5000FE73 offers the advantage of ROHS3 compliance and greater stock availability, making it the preferred choice for applications with environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RS005R5000FS73 and RS005R5000FE73 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 500 mOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 5W power rating, ±90ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -65°C to 250°C operating range.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. The components themselves are identical.

Q: Can I substitute RS005R5000FE73 for RS005R5000FS73 in my design?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Cut Tape packaging instead of Tape & Reel format. Electrically and mechanically, the parts are fully interchangeable.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect component performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental regulations, not electrical performance. Both parts meet identical electrical and thermal specifications.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: RS005R5000FE73 is recommended for new designs due to ROHS3 compliance and superior inventory availability, unless your assembly equipment specifically requires Tape & Reel packaging.
