RNF14FBC162R

Overview

The RNF14FBC162R is a fixed metal film resistor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. It features an axial through-hole package with dimensions of 0.093 inches in diameter and 0.250 inches in length (2.35mm x 6.35mm). The component has a resistance value of 162 ohms, a power rating of 0.25W (1/4W), and a tolerance of ±1%. It operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +155°C and exhibits a temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) of ±50ppm/°C. The device is RoHS compliant and lead-free.

Feature Summary

• Precision metal film construction for superior electrical stability
• Standard flame-retardant coating for enhanced safety
• Suitable for Panasert automated assembly processes

Applications

• General purpose electronic circuits
• Automated surface mount or through-hole assembly lines
• Industrial control equipment requiring stable resistance

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Stackpole documentation to confirm exact tolerance and TCR specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status for current production runs. Check for any recent engineering change notices that may affect physical dimensions or material composition before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard 1/4W axial resistor with 1% tolerance is required. The ±50ppm/°C TCR makes it suitable for general applications where high precision is not critical. Consider the RNMF series if space constraints on the printed circuit board are a primary design factor. Verify voltage ratings against peak circuit conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RNF/RNMF series of general-purpose metal film resistors from Stackpole Electronics. The series is characterized by its reliability and cost-effectiveness for mass-produced electronics. The RNF designation typically indicates the standard axial size, distinguishing it from the smaller RNMF mini version.

Replacement Considerations

Stackpole RNF14FBE162R offers tighter tolerance and lower TCR. Other manufacturers' axial metal film resistors with matching 1/4W power rating and 162 ohm value may serve as functional equivalents if pin-out and dimensional tolerances align.
