Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of RN50C2002FB14 with RN50C2002FRE6 is valid based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.065" Dia × 0.150" L (1.65mm × 3.81mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Identical Compliance & Features:

• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/8, RN50
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• RoHS Status: RoHS non-compliant (both parts)
• REACH Status: REACH Affected (both parts)
• ECCN: EAR99 (both parts)
• HTSUS: 8533.21.0090 (both parts)

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: RN50C2002FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging, while RN50C2002FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN50C2002FB14 and RN50C2002FRE6 are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring a 20 kOhms ±1% metal film resistor with military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

RN50C2002FB14 (Bulk Packaging): Suitable for high-volume manufacturing environments with automated handling systems capable of processing bulk component formats.

RN50C2002FRE6 (Cut Tape Packaging): Suitable for pick-and-place assembly operations, lower-volume production runs, or applications requiring component-level traceability through tape packaging.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications. The choice between them does not affect circuit functionality, reliability, or performance characteristics. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, requiring compliance verification within the end-use application's regulatory framework.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN50C2002FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN50C2002FB14 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape). Circuit performance, reliability, and specifications remain unchanged.

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

A: Bulk packaging supplies components in loose form, typically used in high-volume manufacturing with automated handling. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on continuous tape with carrier, designed for pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when switching between these part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.065" Dia × 0.150" L), termination configuration (2 leads), and electrical specifications. PCB footprints and circuit designs require no modification.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN50C2002FB14 and RN50C2002FRE6 are part of the Military series MIL-R-10509/8 RN50 line and include military-grade features: flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety construction.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: RN50C2002FB14 has 984 pieces in stock (Bulk). RN50C2002FRE6 has 9840 pieces in stock (Cut Tape). Availability may vary based on current procurement cycles.

Q: Are there any regulatory compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Regulatory compliance requirements for the end application apply equally to both part numbers.
