Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN55E2003BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 200 kOhms
• Identical power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.090" Dia x 0.240" L (2.29mm x 6.10mm)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/7, RN55
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and tolerance specification (±1% versus ±0.1%). The tighter tolerance of the substitute part represents an upgrade path for applications requiring higher precision.
