Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C2002FBSL and RN60C2002FB14 are active production components within the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical differences.

The RN60C2002FBSL currently has 1019 units in stock, while the RN60C2002FB14 has 1526 units available. Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, with EAR99 export classification and HTSUS code 8533.21.0090.

For applications requiring military-grade specifications, flame retardant coating, and moisture resistance in the -65°C to 175°C operating range, either part satisfies the functional and regulatory requirements without modification or additional qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2002FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2002FBSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), composition (metal film), package configuration (axial), and operating characteristics. No circuit redesign or re-qualification is required.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts and component placement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and include flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features. Compliance status for RoHS, REACH, and export classification (EAR99) is identical.

Q: What is the difference between the part numbers RN60C2002FBSL and RN60C2002FB14?

A: The part numbers differ in their suffix designations (FBSL versus FB14), which typically indicate packaging or distribution channel variations within the Vishay Dale RN60 series. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-reliability or aerospace applications?

A: Both parts are military-grade components with MIL-R-10509/1 compliance. Application suitability depends on specific program requirements and qualification documentation beyond the provided parametric data.
