Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2001FR36 is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (2 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package type (axial), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), composition (metal film), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and series classification (RN60 military grade). Tolerance and temperature coefficient variations are permitted within the substitute group, as these represent performance enhancements or packaging format changes rather than functional incompatibilities. Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, or Cut Tape) does not affect electrical performance and is therefore a valid substitution criterion.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the RN60 military series. Selection between the RN60C2001FR36 and its substitutes should be based on packaging requirements and tolerance specifications:

RN60C2001FB14 and RN60C2001FRE6 are direct electrical equivalents with identical tolerance (±1%) and temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), differing only in packaging format (Bulk and Cut Tape respectively). These are suitable for applications where packaging format is the primary selection criterion.

RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 offer enhanced tolerance specifications (±0.1%) compared to the primary part. RN60E2001BB14 additionally provides improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). These upgrade options are applicable in circuits requiring tighter tolerance control or superior temperature stability.

All parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications, feature identical physical dimensions, and operate across the full -65°C to 175°C temperature range. RoHS non-compliance status is consistent across all parts in this group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2001BB14 or RN60E2001BB14 be used as direct replacements for RN60C2001FR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible. RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 feature tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%), making them suitable upgrades. RN60E2001BB14 additionally provides superior temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C). Packaging format differs (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), but this does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between RN60C2001FRE6 and RN60C2001FR36?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with 2 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary difference is packaging format: RN60C2001FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape format, while RN60C2001FR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Electrical performance and physical dimensions are identical.

Q: Are there tolerance differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. RN60C2001FR36, RN60C2001FB14, and RN60C2001FRE6 share ±1% tolerance. RN60C2001BB14 and RN60E2001BB14 offer tighter ±0.1% tolerance. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Does temperature coefficient variation affect substitution compatibility?

A: Temperature coefficient differences do not prevent substitution but may affect circuit performance in temperature-sensitive applications. RN60E2001BB14 features ±25ppm/°C (superior stability), while other parts feature ±50ppm/°C. Applications requiring minimal temperature drift should specify RN60E2001BB14.

Q: Are all substitute parts military-grade components?

A: Yes. All parts in this group are manufactured within the RN60 military series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. All feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certifications.
