• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.065" Dia × 0.150" L (1.65mm × 3.81mm)
• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/8, RN50
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• Termination count: 2

The RN50C2002FRE6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent substitute. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, military classification, and environmental ratings. The distinction between these parts is limited to packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both maintain active product status and identical component specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN50C2002FRSL and RN50C2002FRE6 maintain active product status and identical compliance profiles. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement specifications:

• RN50C2002FRSL (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring continuous reel feeding.
• RN50C2002FRE6 (Cut Tape): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume applications, or procurement scenarios where cut tape format is specified.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. No functional or electrical performance difference exists between these substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN50C2002FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN50C2002FRSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impose constraints.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The packaging format differs. RN50C2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated assembly. RN50C2002FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration for manual assembly or alternative procurement workflows.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.065" diameter × 0.150" length (1.65mm × 3.81mm) and are housed in identical axial package configuration.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military and environmental specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/8, feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety ratings. Operating temperature range, temperature coefficient, and all electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: RN50C2002FRSL (Tape & Reel) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Which part should be selected for manual assembly or small-quantity applications?

A: RN50C2002FRE6 (Cut Tape) is suitable for manual assembly workflows and applications where cut tape format is preferred.
