Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN60C2001BRE6 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade classification (exact match required)
• Features: Flame retardant coating, military, moisture resistant, safety (exact match required)

The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and temperature coefficient specification. These variations do not affect functional equivalence for applications requiring the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RN60C2001BRE6, RN60C2001BB14, and RN60E2001BB14—are active production components from Vishay Dale and meet the RN60 military-grade specification per MIL-R-10509/1. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Packaging requirements: RN60C2001BRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly processes. RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 are supplied in Bulk format for manual assembly or alternative handling methods.

Temperature coefficient performance: RN60E2001BB14 provides improved temperature stability at ±25ppm/°C compared to the ±50ppm/°C specification of RN60C2001BRE6 and RN60C2001BB14. This enhanced performance is applicable to applications requiring tighter temperature-dependent resistance drift control.

Compliance and certification: All parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH affected designation, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8533.21.0090. No compliance differentiation exists between the three options.

Inventory availability: All three parts maintain active stock levels exceeding 1000 units, supporting immediate procurement without lead-time constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2001BRE6?

A: Yes. RN60C2001BB14 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RN60C2001BRE6. The only difference is packaging format: RN60C2001BRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel, while RN60C2001BB14 is supplied in Bulk. Both parts meet identical electrical specifications and military-grade performance requirements.

Q: What is the advantage of RN60E2001BB14 over RN60C2001BRE6?

A: RN60E2001BB14 offers improved temperature coefficient performance at ±25ppm/°C, compared to ±50ppm/°C for RN60C2001BRE6. This means the resistance value remains more stable across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. Select RN60E2001BB14 for applications where temperature-dependent resistance drift must be minimized.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are classified as military-grade components within the RN60 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specification. All feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification appropriate for military and aerospace applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (RN60C2001BRE6) and Bulk (RN60C2001BB14, RN60E2001BB14) packaging formats do not affect electrical characteristics. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design accommodates the packaging format and temperature coefficient specification. RN60C2001BRE6 and RN60C2001BB14 are fully interchangeable. RN60E2001BB14 is interchangeable with enhanced temperature stability performance.

Q: What is the tolerance specification for all three parts?

A: All three parts maintain ±0.1% tolerance on the 2 kOhms resistance value. This tight tolerance class is suitable for precision analog circuits, measurement instrumentation, and applications requiring high accuracy.
