Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2001FR36 is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value must be 2 kOhms
• Tolerance must be ±1% or tighter (±0.1% qualifies as upgrade)
• Power rating must be 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition must be metal film
• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C to 175°C

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package type must be axial
• Physical dimensions must be 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Number of terminations must be 2

Packaging Format Variations: Substitutes are grouped by packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, Cut Tape) which affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Performance Grade Upgrades: Parts with tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C, ±50ppm/°C vs ±100ppm/°C) are classified as upgrades and provide enhanced stability and precision while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Electrical and Mechanical Specifications): RN60D2001FB14 and RN60D2001FRE6 are direct functional equivalents to RN60D2001FR36. Selection between these parts depends solely on packaging format requirements: RN60D2001FB14 is supplied in bulk format, while RN60D2001FRE6 is supplied in cut tape format. Both maintain identical electrical performance and are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original part is specified.

Upgrade Options (Enhanced Performance Grades): RN60C2001FB14, RN60C2001FRE6, RN60C2001BB14, and RN60E2001BB14 offer improved performance characteristics while maintaining full backward compatibility. These upgrades provide tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient, resulting in enhanced stability and precision. RN60E2001BB14 represents the highest performance grade with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Upgrade parts are suitable for applications requiring superior accuracy or thermal stability.

Compliance and Status: All substitute parts maintain active production status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the same military-grade RN60 series specification (MIL-R-10509/1). All parts share identical RoHS non-compliance status, REACH affected status, ECCN EAR99 classification, and HTSUS code 8533.21.0090.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2001FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2001FR36? A: Yes. RN60D2001FB14 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (2 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility (axial package, same physical dimensions). The only difference is packaging format (bulk vs. tape & reel), which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and upgrade parts? A: Direct equivalents (RN60D2001FB14, RN60D2001FRE6) have identical electrical specifications to the main part. Upgrade parts (RN60C and RN60E series) offer tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C to ±50ppm/°C vs ±100ppm/°C), providing enhanced precision and thermal stability. All upgrades are backward compatible.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance? A: No. Tape & Reel (TR), Bulk, and Cut Tape (CT) packaging formats are procurement and assembly variations only. They do not alter electrical characteristics, mechanical fit, or circuit performance. Selection is based on manufacturing and assembly process requirements.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best performance? A: RN60E2001BB14 provides the highest performance grade with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, offering superior accuracy and thermal stability compared to the main part's ±1% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C coefficient.

Q: Are all substitute parts manufactured by the same company? A: Yes. All substitute parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and are part of the military-grade RN60 series under MIL-R-10509/1 specification.

Q: Can I use an upgrade part in place of the original specification? A: Yes. Upgrade parts with tighter tolerance and lower temperature coefficient are fully backward compatible and provide enhanced performance. They can be substituted without circuit redesign or qualification changes.
