RL42S-100-G RL42S-100-G METAL FILM MILITARY RESISTOR from CGW (CORNING GLASS WORKS) / CORNING ELECTRONICS

RL42S-100-G Metal Film Resistor Overview

The RL42S-100-G from CGW (Corning Glass Works) / Corning Electronics is a military-type metal film resistor designed for through-hole electronic assemblies, precision circuit repair, test equipment maintenance, and legacy component replacement. As part of the FP42 resistor series, this component is suitable for buyers who require a clearly identified resistor value, manufacturer reference, package style, and sourcing context before submitting an RFQ or checking stock availability.

With a resistance value of 10 Ohms, a 2W power rating, and 2% tolerance, the RL42S-100-G is commonly used where stable resistance performance and axial through-hole mounting are required. It may be especially useful in repair, refurbishment, and long-tail sourcing projects involving older industrial, military, instrumentation, or control equipment where the original bill of materials must be matched as closely as possible.

RL42S-100-G Specifications

Key Features

• 10 Ohm resistance value: Suitable for circuit positions requiring a low-value precision resistor in control, measurement, or signal conditioning circuits.
• 2W power rating: Designed to handle higher dissipation than many small signal resistors, making it useful in power-related, industrial, and test equipment applications.
• ±2% tolerance: Provides better resistance accuracy than general-purpose high-tolerance resistors, supporting more consistent circuit behavior.
• Through-hole axial package: Easy to install, replace, and inspect in legacy boards, repair assemblies, and serviceable electronic equipment.
• Metal film construction: Offers stable electrical characteristics and is commonly selected where precision, reliability, and predictable resistance performance are required.
• FP42 series reference: Helps buyers and engineers identify the correct resistor family when matching original BOM requirements or obsolete part references.

Applications

The RL42S-100-G can be used in a range of electronic systems where a 10 Ohm, 2W axial metal film resistor is required.
Typical applications include:

• Precision resistor networks
• Industrial electronics repair
• Test and measurement equipment
• Power supply and control circuits
• Legacy PCB refurbishment
• Military or industrial equipment maintenance
• General through-hole circuit assemblies
• Replacement sourcing for obsolete or hard-to-find resistor references

Why Choose RL42S-100-G for Replacement or Repair?

In many repair and refurbishment projects, resistor replacement is not only about matching the resistance value. Engineers and sourcing teams may also need to confirm the original manufacturer, resistor series, tolerance, power rating, mounting style,
and physical format. The RL42S-100-G is a useful sourcing reference because it combines a clearly defined 10 Ohm value with 2W power handling, ±2% tolerance, and an axial through-hole form factor.

For obsolete or legacy equipment, buyers should verify the original circuit requirements, available board space, operating conditions, and documentation before confirming a replacement. When exact original parts are difficult to locate, equivalent resistor value, tolerance, power rating, and mounting style are typically the most important comparison points.

Sourcing and RFQ Notes

When requesting a quotation for RL42S-100-G, it is recommended to provide the required quantity, target date code if applicable, acceptable alternatives, and whether original manufacturer packaging or traceability documents are required.
For legacy and obsolete parts, availability may vary by lot, condition, and supplier source.

If this part is being used for repair or replacement, please confirm the resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package style, and original application before placing an order.
