Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D2002FBSL is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Package type: Axial (mechanical compatibility)
• Composition: Metal film (electrical performance consistency)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C minimum (thermal compatibility)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/2 military specification

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±1% or tighter (lower tolerance values represent upgrades)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or lower (lower values represent upgrades)
• Features: Flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety construction (maintained across substitutes)

The RN65C2002BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all primary criteria while offering improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and superior temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RN65C2002BB14 is a qualified substitute for the RN65D2002FBSL in applications requiring 20 kOhms axial metal film resistors. Both components maintain active production status and comply with military specification MIL-R-10509/2. The substitute offers improved electrical performance through tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), making it suitable for precision circuit applications where enhanced stability is beneficial. Mechanical and thermal compatibility is maintained across identical package dimensions and operating temperature range. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. Selection between these components depends on application-specific tolerance and stability requirements rather than functional limitations.
