Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RN55D2002FRSL 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 (MIL-R-10509/7, RN55).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes (RN55E2002BB14, RN55E2002BRE6): These parts maintain identical resistance, power rating, dimensions, and temperature range while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C). Packaging differs (Bulk and Cut Tape respectively) but electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained.

Parametric Equivalent (RN55D2002FRE6): This part matches all electrical specifications and physical dimensions of the main part, including tolerance (±1%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the RN55 military series. Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on specific application requirements:

For applications requiring standard tolerance (±1%) and existing Tape & Reel packaging compatibility, the RN55D2002FRE6 provides direct parametric equivalence with identical electrical performance and differs only in Cut Tape packaging format.

For applications where improved tolerance and temperature stability are beneficial, the RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 offer ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Selection between these two upgrade options depends on packaging requirements: Bulk for RN55E2002BB14 or Cut Tape for RN55E2002BRE6.

All parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH affected designation, and military-grade construction features including flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 be used interchangeably with RN55D2002FRSL?

A: Yes. Both upgrade substitutes maintain identical resistance (20 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), physical dimensions (0.090" Dia x 0.240" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The differences are packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and improved tolerance/temperature coefficient specifications. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between RN55D2002FRE6 and RN55D2002FRSL?

A: These parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications: 20 kOhms ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -65°C to 175°C operating range. The sole difference is packaging: RN55D2002FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape format while RN55D2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Why would I choose the upgrade parts with ±0.1% tolerance?

A: The RN55E2002BB14 and RN55E2002BRE6 provide tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C). These specifications are beneficial for precision analog circuits, measurement instrumentation, and applications where resistance stability across temperature variations is critical.

Q: Are all substitute parts military-grade?

A: Yes. All listed parts are part of the Vishay Dale RN55 military series compliant with MIL-R-10509/7 specifications. All feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: RN55D2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Substitute options include Cut Tape (CT) for RN55D2002FRE6 and RN55E2002BRE6, and Bulk packaging for RN55E2002BB14. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume needs.
