Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN55C2002FRSL is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), package type (Axial), physical dimensions (0.090" Dia x 0.240" L), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), composition (Metal Film), and series compliance (RN55, MIL-R-10509/7).

Tolerance and temperature coefficient variations are permitted within the substitute group. The RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 represent tolerance upgrades with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, offering improved precision while maintaining all other core parameters. The RN55C2002FRE6 is a parametric equivalent with identical tolerance (±1%) and temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C) specifications, differing only in packaging format.

Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, or Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and is selected based on assembly and procurement requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with MIL-R-10509/7 military specifications. Selection between RN55C2002FRSL and its substitutes is based on packaging format requirements and tolerance specifications.

For applications requiring standard ±1% tolerance with Tape & Reel packaging, RN55C2002FRSL remains the primary selection. When Cut Tape packaging is preferred with identical tolerance specifications, RN55C2002FRE6 provides direct substitution with higher inventory availability (5043 pieces).

For applications requiring improved tolerance performance (±0.1%), both RN55E2002BB14 (Bulk packaging) and RN55E2002BRE6 (Cut Tape packaging) are suitable upgrades. These parts offer tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), enhancing circuit precision while maintaining all mechanical and thermal specifications.

All parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, consistent with military-grade component classification. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 be used interchangeably with RN55C2002FRSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible substitutes. The primary differences are tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), and packaging format (Bulk or Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements and assembly packaging needs.

Q: What is the difference between RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6?

A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±0.1%, 0.125W, ±25ppm/°C). The difference is packaging format: RN55E2002BB14 is supplied in Bulk, while RN55E2002BRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape. Choose based on assembly line requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Is RN55C2002FRE6 a direct replacement for RN55C2002FRSL?

A: RN55C2002FRE6 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±50ppm/°C). The difference is packaging format: RN55C2002FRSL is Tape & Reel while RN55C2002FRE6 is Cut Tape. Both are suitable for identical circuit applications.

Q: Can I upgrade from ±1% tolerance to ±0.1% tolerance?

A: Yes. RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 provide ±0.1% tolerance with lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C). These upgrades are compatible with all applications designed for RN55C2002FRSL and offer improved precision performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts military-grade?

A: Yes. All parts in this group comply with MIL-R-10509/7 specifications and are part of the military-grade RN55 series. All feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What packaging format should I select?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, or Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Selection is based on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement workflow. Tape & Reel is standard for automated assembly; Cut Tape and Bulk are used for manual assembly or specific inventory management requirements.
