Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN60C2001DBSL are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

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

Allowable Substitution Parameters:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter (lower) than ±0.5%
• Temperature coefficient: May be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Features: Must retain flame retardant coating, military qualification, and moisture resistance

The identified substitutes meet or exceed the original part specifications while maintaining full compatibility with the RN60 series platform and military-grade performance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 are qualified substitutes for the RN60C2001DBSL based on active product status and maintained military-grade compliance.

RN60C2001BB14: Provides improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) while maintaining identical temperature coefficient and all other electrical characteristics. Suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy within the same thermal performance envelope.

RN60E2001BB14: Provides both improved tolerance (±0.1%) and superior temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). Recommended for applications with stringent temperature stability requirements across the full -65°C to 175°C operating range.

All three parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status, REACH affected classification, and identical mechanical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L / 3.68mm x 8.74mm). Selection between main and substitute parts should be based on specific application requirements for tolerance and temperature stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2001BB14 or RN60E2001BB14 be used as direct replacements for RN60C2001DBSL?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical resistance value, power rating, package type, and operating temperature range. The substitutes feature equal or improved tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications, ensuring full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14?

A: Both parts share ±0.1% tolerance. The primary difference is temperature coefficient: RN60C2001BB14 maintains ±50ppm/°C (matching the original), while RN60E2001BB14 provides superior stability at ±25ppm/°C. Selection depends on application thermal performance requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical axial package dimensions of 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm), ensuring mechanical interchangeability in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.

Q: Do all parts maintain military-grade specifications?

A: Yes. RN60C2001DBSL, RN60C2001BB14, and RN60E2001BB14 are all part of the RN60 military series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1, featuring flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: All three parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Moisture Sensitivity Level is not applicable for these axial resistors.
