Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2000DBSL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package type: Axial
• Composition: Metal Film
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 base product

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±0.5%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: Must remain within 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L specification

The RN60E2000BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical resistance, power rating, package configuration, and operating temperature range while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and superior temperature coefficient stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RN60E2000BB14 is a valid substitute for the RN60C2000DBSL in applications where the circuit design permits tolerance improvement. Both components maintain identical military-grade specifications, MIL-R-10509/1 compliance, and environmental operating ranges. The substitute part offers enhanced precision through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C), making it suitable for circuits requiring higher accuracy without design modification. Both parts retain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH-affected classification, ensuring regulatory consistency in legacy or military applications. Physical form factor and thermal performance remain unchanged, permitting direct board-level substitution.
