Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN55C2002DB14 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package type: Axial
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Composition: Metal Film
• Series: RN55 military-grade

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower value) than ±0.5%
• Temperature coefficient: May be tighter (lower value) than ±50ppm/°C
• Packaging format: Bulk or Cut Tape (CT) are interchangeable for component selection purposes

All substitute parts listed maintain identical physical dimensions (0.090" Dia x 0.240" L), electrical performance envelope, and military compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active production status and full military compliance under MIL-R-10509/7. Selection between RN55C2002DB14 and its substitutes depends on application-specific tolerance and stability requirements:

RN55C2002BB14 provides improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.5%) while maintaining identical temperature coefficient and operating range. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy within the same thermal performance envelope.

RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 offer both improved tolerance (±0.1%) and superior temperature stability (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). These variants are appropriate for precision circuits where temperature-induced drift must be minimized. RN55E2002BRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape format rather than Bulk.

All parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, maintaining identical regulatory classification. Physical dimensions and electrical performance remain constant across all variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55C2002BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN55C2002DB14?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (20 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C). RN55C2002BB14 provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.5%), which is a performance improvement for precision applications.

Q: What is the difference between RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with 20 kOhms resistance, ±0.1% tolerance, and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary difference is packaging format: RN55E2002BB14 is supplied in Bulk, while RN55E2002BRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Component selection and electrical performance are equivalent.

Q: Are the RN55E variants suitable replacements for the original RN55C2002DB14?

A: Yes. RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 meet all critical parameters and provide superior temperature stability (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) and tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.5%). These upgrades are compatible with applications requiring enhanced precision and thermal performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain military compliance?

A: Yes. All listed parts are manufactured under the RN55 military series per MIL-R-10509/7 with identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features. Military compliance status is maintained across all variants.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: RN55C2002DB14, RN55C2002BB14, and RN55E2002BB14 are supplied in Bulk packaging. RN55E2002BRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain identical components and are interchangeable for circuit design purposes.
