Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN55C2002CRE6 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.090" Dia × 0.240" L (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series: Military RN55 (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±0.1% (tighter tolerance than original ±0.25%)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (improved specification)
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), or Bulk

The identified substitutes RN55E2002BRE6 and RN55E2002BB14 meet all mandatory criteria while offering improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications. Packaging format differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and identical military-grade specifications under MIL-R-10509/7. The RN55E2002BRE6 and RN55E2002BB14 substitutes provide improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making them suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance stability. Selection between substitutes depends on packaging format requirements: RN55E2002BRE6 for cut tape applications, RN55E2002BB14 for bulk procurement. All parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH affected classification, and ECCN/HTSUS coding. Compliance and regulatory status remain consistent across all options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55E2002BRE6 or RN55E2002BB14 be used as direct replacements for RN55C2002CRE6?

A: Yes. Both substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible. They maintain identical resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), package type (axial), physical dimensions (0.090" Dia × 0.240" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The substitutes offer improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RN55E2002BRE6 and RN55E2002BB14 are electrically identical. The primary difference is packaging format: RN55E2002BRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format with 3902 units in inventory, while RN55E2002BB14 is supplied in Bulk format with 1118 units in inventory. Selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the original part and substitutes?

A: The substitutes provide improved specifications. Tolerance is tightened from ±0.25% to ±0.1%, and temperature coefficient improves from ±50ppm/°C to ±25ppm/°C. These represent enhanced performance characteristics suitable for precision applications.

Q: Do packaging format differences affect circuit performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, or Bulk) affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical and mechanical performance remains identical across all packaging options.

Q: Are all parts compliant with the same standards and regulations?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Military-grade classification under MIL-R-10509/7 applies to all options.
