Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN60C2001DB14 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package type: Axial
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Composition: Metal Film
• Series: RN60 military-grade

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: May be tighter (lower value) than ±0.5%
• Temperature coefficient: May be tighter (lower value) than ±50ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: Identical across all RN60 series variants

The RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 meet all critical parameters with improved tolerance specifications (±0.1%), making them direct substitutes with enhanced precision characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 are direct substitutes for RN60C2001DB14 in applications requiring 2 kOhms ±0.5% or tighter tolerance metal film resistors in military-grade axial packages.

RN60C2001BB14 provides improved tolerance (±0.1%) while maintaining identical temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C) and all other electrical and mechanical specifications. This variant is suitable for applications where enhanced precision is beneficial without requiring reduced temperature coefficient performance.

RN60E2001BB14 offers both improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), providing superior stability across the full operating temperature range. This variant is recommended for applications with stringent temperature stability requirements or where circuit performance is sensitive to resistor drift over temperature.

All three parts maintain active product status, identical physical dimensions, and compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications. Selection between variants depends on application-specific precision and temperature stability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2001DB14?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (2 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package type (Axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions. The RN60C2001BB14 features tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), making it a compatible upgrade.

Q: What is the difference between RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14?

A: Both parts have identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. The primary difference is temperature coefficient: RN60C2001BB14 has ±50ppm/°C while RN60E2001BB14 has ±25ppm/°C. The RN60E2001BB14 provides superior temperature stability.

Q: Are all three parts physically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L / 3.68mm x 8.74mm) and two terminations, allowing direct board-level substitution without layout modifications.

Q: Do tolerance differences affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance differences affect initial resistance accuracy. The RN60C2001DB14 has ±0.5% tolerance, while both substitute parts have ±0.1% tolerance. Tighter tolerance reduces initial value variation but does not affect temperature stability unless temperature coefficient also differs.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for temperature-sensitive applications?

A: RN60E2001BB14 is recommended for applications sensitive to temperature-induced resistance drift, as it provides the lowest temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) among the three options.

Q: Are these parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are military-grade components compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.
