Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2002FRSL is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (20 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and series classification (Military MIL-R-10509/1 RN60). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations exist only in packaging format (Tape & Reel, Bulk, or Cut Tape) and temperature coefficient performance grade, which do not affect functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the Military MIL-R-10509/1 RN60 series. Selection between RN60D2002FRSL and its substitutes is based on packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than electrical performance differences.

RN60D2002FB14 provides direct electrical equivalence with identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and differs only in Bulk packaging format, suitable for applications where tape and reel format is not required.

RN60C2002FB14 offers an upgrade option with improved temperature coefficient performance (±50ppm/°C) while maintaining all other electrical specifications. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring tighter temperature stability, though it remains functionally compatible with the original specification.

RN60D2002FRE6 provides parametric equivalence with identical electrical characteristics to the main part and is available in Cut Tape format with the highest inventory level (3782 units), supporting high-volume procurement scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2002FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2002FRSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with 20 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The difference is packaging format: RN60D2002FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel while RN60D2002FB14 is supplied in Bulk. Circuit performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the advantage of RN60C2002FB14 over the original part?

A: RN60C2002FB14 features a tighter temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C compared to ±100ppm/°C in RN60D2002FRSL. This provides improved stability across the -65°C to 175°C operating range. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts share identical physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L / 3.68mm x 8.74mm) and axial package configuration, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility on PCBs designed for the RN60D2002FRSL.

Q: Does packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR), Bulk, and Cut Tape (CT) formats are packaging and delivery methods only. They do not affect electrical performance, reliability, or circuit functionality.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for maximum inventory availability?

A: RN60D2002FRE6 offers the highest inventory level at 3782 units in Cut Tape format, making it suitable for applications requiring immediate large-quantity procurement.
