Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C5000DB14 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 500 Ohms
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series Compliance: Must conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification

The RN60C5000BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is an improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), which represents an upgrade in precision without altering core functionality or physical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C5000DB14 and RN60C5000BB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical compliance profiles (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0090). Selection between these parts should be based on application tolerance requirements and inventory availability.

The RN60C5000DB14 is suitable for applications where ±0.5% tolerance meets circuit specifications. The RN60C5000BB14 provides enhanced precision at ±0.1% tolerance for circuits requiring tighter resistance value control, with significantly higher inventory availability (3425 units versus 1116 units).

Both components maintain identical military specification compliance, thermal performance, and physical form factor, ensuring direct interchangeability in axial through-hole PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C5000BB14 replace RN60C5000DB14 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RN60C5000BB14 is electrically and mechanically compatible. It maintains the same 500 Ohm resistance, 0.25W power rating, axial package, operating temperature range, and military specification compliance. The improved ±0.1% tolerance is a performance upgrade that does not compromise compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The tolerance specification differs. RN60C5000DB14 has ±0.5% tolerance, while RN60C5000BB14 has ±0.1% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm) and use the same axial package configuration, ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both components conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and are part of the RN60 series. They share identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on tolerance requirements. For applications requiring ±0.1% precision, specify RN60C5000BB14. For applications where ±0.5% tolerance is acceptable, either part is suitable. Inventory availability favors RN60C5000BB14 (3425 units in stock).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts have identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8533.21.0090.
