RN65C2000FRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN65C2000FRSL is a 200 Ohm, 1/2W through-hole axial resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale. This metal film resistor features a ±1% tolerance, flame retardant coating, and military-grade construction compliant with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications. The component is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and maintains an active product status. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and application requirements where packaging format or tolerance specifications differ from the primary part number.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65C2000FRSL is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (200 Ohms), power rating (0.5W), composition (metal film), axial package configuration, operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military series compliance (MIL-R-10509/2, RN65 base product).

The identified substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications in resistance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. All substitute parts share the same physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L), axial package type, and military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Substitution differences are limited to packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and tolerance specification. The RN65C2000FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with ±1% tolerance. Direct substitutes maintain the same ±1% tolerance but are available in Bulk packaging. An upgrade substitute with tighter ±0.1% tolerance is available for applications requiring enhanced precision.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military RN65 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications. Selection between the main part and substitutes is determined by packaging requirements and tolerance specifications.

RN65C2000FRSL (Main Part): Select this part number when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. The ±1% tolerance meets standard precision requirements for general-purpose military and industrial applications.

RN65C2000FB14 (Direct Substitute): This part provides electrical and mechanical equivalence to the main part with identical ±1% tolerance and specifications. Selection is appropriate when Bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred for manual assembly, kit assembly, or inventory consolidation. This part is functionally interchangeable with the main part in all electrical and thermal performance characteristics.

RN65C2000BB14 (Upgrade Substitute): This part offers enhanced precision with ±0.1% tolerance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance control, precision measurement circuits, or high-accuracy analog signal conditioning. The upgrade tolerance provides five-fold improvement in resistance accuracy compared to the main part and direct substitute.

All three parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status, reflecting their military-grade construction and composition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65C2000FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65C2000FRSL?

A: Yes. RN65C2000FB14 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. Both parts have identical resistance (200 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), composition (metal film), physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The only difference is packaging format: RN65C2000FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel, while RN65C2000FB14 is supplied in Bulk. Direct substitution is valid for all circuit applications.

Q: What is the difference between RN65C2000BB14 and the other two parts?

A: RN65C2000BB14 differs in tolerance specification only. It provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to ±1% tolerance in both RN65C2000FRSL and RN65C2000FB14. All other parameters—resistance value, power rating, composition, dimensions, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range—are identical. The tighter tolerance makes RN65C2000BB14 suitable for precision applications where resistance accuracy is critical.

Q: Are these parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts are manufactured under the military RN65 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications. They feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety construction appropriate for military and aerospace applications.

Q: What packaging format should I select?

A: RN65C2000FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. RN65C2000FB14 and RN65C2000BB14 are supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for manual assembly, kit assembly, or applications where individual component handling is preferred. Packaging selection does not affect electrical performance.

Q: Can I use RN65C2000BB14 in place of RN65C2000FRSL?

A: Yes. RN65C2000BB14 is electrically and mechanically compatible with RN65C2000FRSL. The ±0.1% tolerance of RN65C2000BB14 is tighter than the ±1% tolerance of RN65C2000FRSL, making it a suitable upgrade substitute. All other specifications are identical. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) and enhanced tolerance precision.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these resistors?

A: All three parts operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 175°C with a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C. This range is suitable for military, aerospace, and industrial applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. All three parts are RoHS non-compliant due to their military-grade construction and composition. They are, however, REACH Affected. Compliance status is identical across all three part numbers.
