Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN55D2201FR36 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.090" Dia x 0.240" L (2.29mm x 6.10mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/7, RN55
• Material features: Flame retardant coating, moisture resistant, safety certified

The identified substitute part RN55D2201FRE6 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. The sole difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) configuration. Both formats contain identical components with no functional or performance variation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN55D2201FR36 and RN55D2201FRE6 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• RN55D2201FR36 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel-fed component dispensing.
• RN55D2201FRE6 (Cut Tape): Suitable for manual assembly, small-batch production, or applications where individual component handling is required.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. No functional performance difference exists between the two packaging formats.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55D2201FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN55D2201FR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. RN55D2201FR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while RN55D2201FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape format. Component performance is unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. The resistor component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance (2.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). Performance is equivalent across all electrical parameters.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN55D2201FR36 and RN55D2201FRE6 comply with MIL-R-10509/7 specification and are part of the military-grade RN55 series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. No difference in regulatory status exists between the two part numbers.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: RN55D2201FR36 (Tape & Reel) is designed for automated assembly processes. The continuous reel format is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Which part should be selected for manual assembly or prototyping?

A: RN55D2201FRE6 (Cut Tape) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or small-batch production where individual component handling is required.
