Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2001DR36 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• Package Type: Must be Axial through-hole
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series Compliance: Must be RN60 series, MIL-R-10509/1 military specification

The identified substitute parts RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 meet all mandatory substitution criteria. Variations in tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±0.5%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C) represent performance upgrades rather than compatibility restrictions. Packaging differences (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents to the RN60C2001DR36. All three parts are active products from Vishay Dale, comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications, and share identical resistance, power rating, package type, and physical dimensions.

The RN60C2001BB14 maintains the same tolerance (±0.5%) and temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C) as the main part, differing only in packaging format (Bulk instead of Tape & Reel). This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where reel packaging is not required.

The RN60E2001BB14 offers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and superior temperature coefficient stability (±25ppm/°C) compared to the main part. This represents a performance upgrade and is suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control or enhanced temperature stability. The packaging format is Bulk.

All three parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status, ensuring regulatory consistency in system design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2001DR36?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (2 kOhms, ±0.5%, 0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The only difference is packaging format: RN60C2001DR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while RN60C2001BB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the difference between RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14?

A: Both parts are equivalent to RN60C2001DR36 in resistance, power rating, package type, and physical dimensions. The primary differences are: RN60C2001BB14 has a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C (matching the main part), while RN60E2001BB14 has a superior temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C. Both substitute parts offer ±0.1% tolerance, which is tighter than the main part's ±0.5% tolerance.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) is a supply and handling consideration only. It does not affect electrical characteristics, mechanical fit, or performance in circuit applications. Selection between formats depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification, feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification. They are all classified as military-grade components in the RN60 series.

Q: What is the impact of tolerance differences on circuit design?

A: The main part RN60C2001DR36 has ±0.5% tolerance, while both substitute parts have ±0.1% tolerance. Tighter tolerance means more precise resistance values. If your circuit design requires ±0.5% tolerance or looser, all three parts are interchangeable. If your design requires tighter tolerance control, the substitute parts RN60C2001BB14 or RN60E2001BB14 provide improved accuracy.

Q: Can RN60E2001BB14 be used in place of RN60C2001DR36 if temperature stability is critical?

A: Yes. RN60E2001BB14 has a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C compared to RN60C2001DR36's ±50ppm/°C. This means RN60E2001BB14 maintains more stable resistance values across the operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). If your application requires enhanced temperature stability, RN60E2001BB14 is a suitable upgrade.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. There are no regulatory or compliance differences that would restrict substitution.
