Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2000BRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 200 Ohms
• Tolerance: Must be ±0.1%
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series: Must be RN60 military-grade classification
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)

The RN60E2000BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and temperature coefficient specification, which do not affect functional compatibility in applications requiring the stated electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2000BRE6 and RN60E2000BB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale's military-grade RN60 resistor series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RN60C2000BRE6 is appropriate when tape and reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when the specified temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C meets application requirements.

RN60E2000BB14 is appropriate when bulk packaging is acceptable for manual assembly or kit applications, and when the improved temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C provides better stability for precision circuit designs. This part also offers higher inventory availability (1601 pieces versus 785 pieces).

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and maintain identical electrical performance in terms of resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range. Neither part is RoHS compliant; both are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E2000BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2000BRE6 in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts meet MIL-R-10509/1 specification and share identical electrical characteristics (200 Ohms ±0.1%, 0.25W, -65°C to 175°C). The primary difference is packaging format and temperature coefficient. The substitute part's improved temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) does not create incompatibility.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, kit distribution, or applications where automated handling is not required. The electrical and mechanical properties of the resistor itself are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and ECCN classification (EAR99). No compliance differences exist between the two parts.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect circuit performance?

A: The RN60E2000BB14 features a tighter temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) compared to the RN60C2000BRE6 (±50ppm/°C). This means the substitute part exhibits better resistance stability across temperature variations. This is a performance improvement, not a limitation, and does not create incompatibility with applications designed for the main part.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: RN60E2000BB14 has significantly higher inventory availability (1601 pieces) compared to RN60C2000BRE6 (785 pieces). If supply continuity is a concern, the substitute part offers better stock position.
