WHC10RFE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The WHC10RFE is a 10 Ohm ±1% 2W axial wirewound through-hole resistor manufactured by Ohmite. The part is currently active in production with 831 pieces in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package type. Alternative models become necessary when primary stock availability changes or when specific packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WHC10RFE are classified based on strict equivalence of electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is determined by the following criteria:

Direct Manufacturer Substitute: WHC10RFET maintains identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms ±1%, 2W, ±50ppm/°C, -55°C to 150°C operating range) and mechanical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.449" L). The only difference is packaging format: WHC10RFET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format versus the standard packaging of WHC10RFE. Both parts are from the same WH series and are ROHS3 compliant.

Parametric Equivalent Substitute: WNC10RFE matches all electrical specifications (10 Ohms ±1%, 2W, ±50ppm/°C, -55°C to 150°C) and mechanical dimensions. This part belongs to the WN series and includes a non-inductive feature. The product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. WNC10RFET is the Cut Tape variant of this series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

WHC10RFE (Primary Part): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Suitable for standard applications requiring 10 Ohm 2W axial wirewound resistors.

WHC10RFET (Direct Substitute): Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with higher inventory availability (6920 pieces). Recommended when Cut Tape packaging format is compatible with assembly processes. Both parts are active and ROHS3 compliant.

WNC10RFE (Parametric Equivalent): Matches all critical electrical parameters and mechanical dimensions. Product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics; use only when existing stock is available and non-inductive characteristics are required for the application. ROHS3 compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can WHC10RFET replace WHC10RFE directly? A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (10 Ohms ±1%, 2W) and mechanical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.449" L). The difference is packaging format: WHC10RFET is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Compatibility depends on whether your assembly process accepts Cut Tape packaging.

Q: What is the difference between WHC10RFE and WNC10RFE? A: Both parts meet the same electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. WNC10RFE belongs to the WN series and includes non-inductive construction. WNC10RFE is discontinued at DiGi Electronics; WHC10RFE from the WH series is the active alternative.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. WHC10RFE, WHC10RFET, and WNC10RFE are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability? A: WHC10RFET has the highest inventory at 6920 pieces, compared to 831 pieces for WHC10RFE and 908 pieces for WNC10RFE.

Q: Can I use WNC10RFE as a long-term substitute? A: WNC10RFE is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Use only when existing stock is available. For long-term applications, WHC10RFE or WHC10RFET are recommended as active products.
