Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2000CRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match or better required)
• Military series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 base product (exact match required)

The RN60E2000BB14 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). The primary difference is packaging format: RN60C2000CRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR), while RN60E2000BB14 is supplied in Bulk.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2000CRE6 and RN60E2000BB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale's military-grade RN60 series, compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specification. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and tolerance specifications:

• Select RN60C2000CRE6 when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes.
• Select RN60E2000BB14 when Bulk packaging is acceptable and improved tolerance (±0.1%) or lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) provides circuit performance benefits.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance in terms of resistance value, power rating, and operating temperature range. Neither part is RoHS compliant; both are REACH Affected. Component selection should account for procurement lead times and packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E2000BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2000CRE6?

A: Yes, RN60E2000BB14 is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts are 200 Ohm, 1/4W axial metal film resistors with identical physical dimensions and operating temperature ranges. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.25%).

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between these parts?

A: RN60C2000CRE6 has ±0.25% tolerance, while RN60E2000BB14 has ±0.1% tolerance. The tighter tolerance of RN60E2000BB14 results in more precise resistance values. For circuits requiring higher accuracy, RN60E2000BB14 is the preferred selection.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) and Bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical characteristics. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both RN60C2000CRE6 and RN60E2000BB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient difference, and when does it matter?

A: RN60C2000CRE6 has ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, while RN60E2000BB14 has ±25ppm/°C. Lower temperature coefficient means resistance value changes less with temperature variations. For temperature-sensitive circuits, RN60E2000BB14 provides superior stability.
