RS02BR2000FS70 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RS02BR2000FS70 is a 200 mOhms ±1% 3W through-hole resistor with axial package configuration, manufactured by Vishay Dale in the RS series. This wirewound, moisture-resistant component operates across a temperature range of -65°C to 250°C and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. The part is currently in active production status. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, compliance requirements, or inventory constraints across different distribution channels.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RS02BR2000FS70 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (200 mOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (3W), composition (wirewound), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 250°C), physical dimensions (0.187" Dia x 0.560" L), and moisture-resistant features. The primary variable among qualified substitutes is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance but impacts procurement and assembly workflows. All substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and physical form factor to ensure direct compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RS02BR2000FE70 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RS02BR2000FS70, with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. The distinction between these parts lies in packaging format and regulatory compliance status. The RS02BR2000FE70 offers ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, regulatory mandates applicable to the end application, and packaging format compatibility with assembly processes. Both parts maintain active production status and are available from inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RS02BR2000FE70 be used as a direct replacement for RS02BR2000FS70?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with 200 mOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 3W power rating, wirewound composition, axial package type, and identical physical dimensions. The only differences are packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and regulatory compliance certifications.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain identical components with no electrical or mechanical differences.

Q: Does the packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format is a procurement and assembly consideration only. Once the component is removed from its packaging and installed in the circuit, electrical and thermal performance are identical regardless of whether it originated from Tape & Reel or Cut Tape format.

Q: Why does RS02BR2000FE70 have different RoHS and REACH status?

A: RoHS and REACH compliance status reflects regulatory certifications and material composition documentation provided by the manufacturer. These certifications are independent of the component's electrical specifications and are determined by manufacturing processes and supply chain documentation.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -65°C to 250°C and feature moisture-resistant construction. Environmental performance characteristics are equivalent.
