RN55E2001DR36 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN55E2001DR36 is a 2 kOhms ±0.5% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.125W (1/8W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN55 series per MIL-R-10509/7 specification, this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction. The part is currently active in production with 976 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, tolerance requirements, or inventory constraints in specific applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN55E2001DR36 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package type: Axial
• Composition: Metal Film
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-R-10509/7, RN55

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower value) than ±0.5%
• Packaging format: May differ (Tape & Reel to Bulk or vice versa)

The RN55E2001BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all mandatory parameters while offering improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), making it suitable for applications requiring higher precision. The packaging difference (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN55E2001DR36 and RN55E2001BB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical military specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RN55E2001DR36 (±0.5% tolerance, Tape & Reel packaging): Select this part for applications where standard tolerance specifications are acceptable and tape-and-reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes.

RN55E2001BB14 (±0.1% tolerance, Bulk packaging): Select this part for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or when bulk packaging is preferred for manual assembly or stock management. The improved tolerance specification (±0.1%) provides superior precision compared to the main part.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and regulatory classification (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.21.0090). No additional compliance verification is required when substituting between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55E2001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN55E2001DR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in all critical parameters: 2 kOhms resistance, 0.125W power rating, axial package configuration, and military-grade MIL-R-10509/7 specification. The RN55E2001BB14 offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), making it suitable for precision applications.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is used for automated pick-and-place assembly processes, while Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or stock management. The electrical and mechanical properties of the component remain unchanged. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process requirements, not component performance.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. No additional regulatory review is required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Can I use RN55E2001BB14 in applications originally designed for RN55E2001DR36?

A: Yes. The improved tolerance specification (±0.1%) of the RN55E2001BB14 makes it compatible with all applications designed for the RN55E2001DR36. Tighter tolerance components are functionally interchangeable with standard tolerance components in the same circuit.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of these resistors?

A: Both parts have identical dimensions: 0.090" diameter by 0.240" length (2.29mm x 6.10mm). Physical fit and thermal characteristics are identical between the two parts.
