Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65C2002FB14 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W minimum (1/2W)
• Package Configuration: Must be Axial through-hole
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L (4.57mm × 14.27mm)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Series Compliance: Military-grade RN65 series per MIL-R-10509/2

The RN65C2002BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%), this represents an upgrade in precision without compromising any electrical or mechanical compatibility. All other parameters remain identical, including resistance value, power rating, package type, dimensions, temperature characteristics, and military-grade construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65C2002FB14 and RN65C2002BB14 maintain active product status and identical compliance profiles (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99). Selection between these parts depends on tolerance requirements:

• RN65C2002FB14: Select when ±1% tolerance meets circuit specifications and cost optimization is prioritized. Current inventory: 707 units.
• RN65C2002BB14: Select when circuit design requires tighter tolerance control (±0.1%). This substitute provides enhanced precision without electrical or mechanical trade-offs. Current inventory: 707 units.

Both parts are certified to MIL-R-10509/2 military specification and are suitable for applications requiring flame retardant, moisture-resistant, safety-rated construction across the full -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65C2002BB14 replace RN65C2002FB14 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RN65C2002BB14 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. It maintains identical resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), package configuration (Axial), physical dimensions (0.180" Dia × 0.562" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) represents an upgrade in precision.

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

A: The tolerance specification differs. RN65C2002FB14 is rated at ±1%, while RN65C2002BB14 is rated at ±0.1%. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts military-grade?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/2 military specification and are classified as military-grade components within the RN65 series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Do these parts have the same physical footprint?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L (4.57mm × 14.27mm) and use the same axial through-hole package configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs.

Q: What are the compliance considerations for these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8533.21.0090. Compliance status is identical between the two parts.

Q: Can I use RN65C2002BB14 in applications where RN65C2002FB14 was originally specified?

A: Yes. The RN65C2002BB14 meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical requirements of the RN65C2002FB14. The tighter tolerance specification makes it suitable for any application originally designed for the ±1% tolerance part.
