Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60E2000FBSL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 200 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
• Size/Dimension: Must be 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series Compliance: Must conform to MIL-R-10509/1 and RN60 series

The RN60E2000BB14 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The tolerance specification improves from ±1% to ±0.1%, which represents an upgrade in precision while maintaining full compatibility with the original part's functional requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60E2000FBSL and RN60E2000BB14 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN60 series. Selection between these parts should be based on tolerance requirements for the specific application:

• RN60E2000FBSL: Select when ±1% tolerance meets circuit specifications and cost optimization is a priority.
• RN60E2000BB14: Select when ±0.1% tolerance is required for precision analog circuits or when tighter resistance control improves system performance.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, thermal characteristics, and military compliance certifications. The RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status applies uniformly to both parts and must be evaluated against procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E2000BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60E2000FBSL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (200 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), package type (Axial), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military series compliance (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60). The RN60E2000BB14 provides improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

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

A: The tolerance specification differs. RN60E2000FBSL has ±1% tolerance, while RN60E2000BB14 has ±0.1% tolerance. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical Axial package type with the same physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for axial through-hole resistors.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts conform to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and are part of the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What compliance considerations apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. These compliance statuses must be evaluated against project procurement and regulatory requirements before selection.
