Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65C2002DB14 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W (1/2W) minimum
• Package Type: Must be Axial configuration
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be ±50ppm/°C or better
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series Compliance: Must conform to MIL-R-10509/2 military specification
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)

The RN65C2002BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria. While tolerance differs (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), all other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, making it suitable for applications requiring improved tolerance performance without design modification.
