Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2002FR36 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (20 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 175°C), and series classification (RN60, Military, MIL-R-10509/1). All substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, Cut Tape) and temperature coefficient do not affect functional substitutability. The RN60D2002FB14 and RN60D2002FRE6 are direct parametric equivalents differing only in packaging. The RN60C2002FB14 is an upgrade variant with improved temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C) while maintaining all other specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain active production status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the same Military series classification (MIL-R-10509/1). Selection between RN60D2002FR36, RN60D2002FB14, and RN60D2002FRE6 is based on packaging format requirements: Tape & Reel for automated assembly, Bulk for manual assembly or kit applications, and Cut Tape for intermediate volume applications. The RN60C2002FB14 offers improved temperature coefficient stability (±50ppm/°C) and is suitable for applications requiring tighter frequency or gain stability over the operating temperature range. All parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, consistent with military-grade specifications. Compliance status and certifications are identical across all variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2002FB14 replace RN60D2002FR36 in production assembly? A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical.
