RER60F2000MCSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RER60F2000MCSL is a 200 Ohms ±1% 5W wirewound chassis mount resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale, part of the military-grade RER60 series compliant with MIL-PRF-39009. This component is designed for applications requiring precision resistance with high power dissipation in military and aerospace environments. The part is currently active in production with 818 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or specific compliance certifications necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RER60F2000MCSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 5W
• Composition: Wirewound
• Temperature coefficient: ±20ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 250°C
• Housing type: Aluminum
• Mounting feature: Flanges
• Lead style: Solder Lugs
• Package type: Axial, Box
• Series compliance: MIL-PRF-39009, RER60

The RER60F2000RC02 meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain identical dimensional specifications (0.600" L x 0.646" W, 0.335" seated height). The primary distinction between these parts is the failure rate classification and inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RER60F2000MCSL and RER60F2000RC02 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

The RER60F2000RC02 features a superior failure rate classification of R (0.01%) compared to the M (1%) rating of the RER60F2000MCSL. For applications where enhanced reliability is required, the RC02 variant provides a lower failure rate specification. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), making them suitable for military and aerospace applications requiring MIL-PRF-39009 compliance. The RC02 variant includes REACH status documentation available upon request, providing additional regulatory traceability. Inventory availability favors the RC02 with 1090 units in stock versus 818 units for the MCSL variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RER60F2000RC02 be used as a direct replacement for RER60F2000MCSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with matching resistance values (200 Ohms ±1%), power ratings (5W), temperature coefficients (±20ppm/°C), operating ranges (-55°C to 250°C), and physical dimensions. The RC02 variant features an improved failure rate specification.

Q: What is the difference between failure rate M and failure rate R?

A: Failure rate M is classified as 1% per 1000 hours, while failure rate R is classified as 0.01% per 1000 hours. The RC02 variant with R-class failure rate provides superior reliability for mission-critical applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.600" L x 0.646" W (15.24mm x 16.41mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.335" (8.51mm). They are interchangeable in terms of board layout and mechanical mounting.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RER60F2000MCSL and RER60F2000RC02 comply with MIL-PRF-39009 and are part of the RER60 military-grade resistor series. Both are rated for military and aerospace applications.

Q: What is the lead style for these components?

A: Both parts feature solder lugs as the lead style, designed for direct soldering to circuit board pads or component leads in chassis mount applications.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both RER60F2000MCSL and RER60F2000RC02 are RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should identify alternative component families.
