Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60C2002FR36 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN60C2002FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The distinction between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in tape and reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts maintain the same base product number (RN60) and comply with military specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C2002FR36 and RN60C2002FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60C2002FR36 in tape and reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation is utilized.

The RN60C2002FB14 in bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts maintain compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Component selection should be based on assembly methodology and supply chain requirements rather than electrical performance, as both parts are functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2002FB14 replace RN60C2002FR36 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel). Functional performance in the circuit is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between tape and reel and bulk packaging?

A: Tape and reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Military specification compliance (MIL-R-10509/1) is maintained across both variants.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. Use RN60C2002FR36 (tape and reel) for automated assembly lines. Use RN60C2002FB14 (bulk) for manual assembly or when tape and reel format is not compatible with your equipment.

Q: Do these parts have the same temperature performance?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C with identical ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient specifications.
