Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D2002FB14 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 20 kOhms
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W (1/2W)
• Package Configuration: Must be Axial
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)
• Series Compliance: Must belong to RN65 military series, MIL-R-10509/2
• Composition: Must be Metal Film

The RN65C2002BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all critical parameters while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C). Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package type, physical dimensions, and military series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65D2002FB14 and RN65C2002BB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale's military-qualified RN65 series. Selection between these parts depends on application tolerance requirements:

• RN65D2002FB14 is suitable for applications where ±1% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient meet circuit specifications.
• RN65C2002BB14 is suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control (±0.1%) and improved temperature stability (±50ppm/°C).

Both parts maintain identical mechanical compatibility, electrical power rating, and operating temperature range. Neither part is RoHS compliant; both are REACH affected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65C2002BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D2002FB14?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), package configuration (Axial), physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L), and military series designation (MIL-R-10509/2, RN65). The substitute offers improved tolerance and temperature coefficient performance.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are tolerance specification (±1% versus ±0.1%) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences?

A: No. Both parts use identical axial package configuration with matching physical dimensions of 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm). PCB layout and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications and belong to the RN65 military series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

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

A: Both parts operate across the temperature range of -65°C to 175°C with the specified temperature coefficients applied.
