RN60C2002FRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C2002FRSL is a 20 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 996 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60C2002FRSL is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RN60C2002FB14 qualifies as a direct equivalent because it maintains identical specifications in the following key parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package configuration: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Feature set: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2002FRSL and RN60C2002FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

RN60C2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring component feeding through pick-and-place equipment.

RN60C2002FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging, appropriate for manual assembly, prototype development, or applications where tape-and-reel format is not required.

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected classification, and EAR99 ECCN designation. Neither part introduces compliance differences in selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2002FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2002FRSL in production assembly?

A: Yes, provided the assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. If the assembly line requires tape-and-reel format for automated feeding, the packaging difference must be addressed through process modification or component reeling.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value (20 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do these parts have different compliance or certification status?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected classification, and EAR99 ECCN designation.

Q: What is the physical difference between these substitute parts?

A: The only difference is packaging format. RN60C2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60C2002FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Physical dimensions and component construction are identical.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in circuit design?

A: Yes. From an electrical and thermal perspective, these parts are fully interchangeable. Circuit performance will be identical when either part is used.
