Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D2002FRE6 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 or higher acceptable)
• Package Type: Must be Axial configuration
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Series Compliance: Must conform to MIL-R-10509/2 and RN65 series
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Number of Terminations: Must be 2-terminal configuration

The RN65C2002BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations. The primary difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RN65C2002BB14 is a valid substitute for the RN65D2002FRE6 in applications requiring 20 kOhms ±1% metal film axial resistors. Both components maintain identical military-grade specifications per MIL-R-10509/2 and share equivalent electrical performance within the specified operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging Requirements: RN65D2002FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly; RN65C2002BB14 is supplied in Bulk format suitable for manual or mixed-mode assembly operations.
• Tolerance Requirements: RN65C2002BB14 offers ±0.1% tolerance compared to ±1%, providing superior precision if circuit design margins permit the upgrade.
• Temperature Stability: RN65C2002BB14 features ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient versus ±100ppm/°C, offering improved stability across the full operating range.
• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, ensuring regulatory consistency.
• Inventory Availability: RN65D2002FRE6 has 1058 units in stock; RN65C2002BB14 has 707 units in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65C2002BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D2002FRE6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.5W), physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The RN65C2002BB14 provides enhanced tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), making it functionally compatible and electrically superior.

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

A: The primary difference is packaging format. RN65D2002FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly, while RN65C2002BB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Both conform to MIL-R-10509/2 military specification and belong to the RN65 series.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-precision applications?

A: RN65C2002BB14 is the appropriate choice for applications requiring tighter tolerance control. Its ±0.1% tolerance and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient provide superior precision compared to the RN65D2002FRE6.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both components measure 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm) and feature identical axial package configuration, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in PCB layouts and through-hole assembly processes.

Q: What is the temperature stability difference?

A: RN65D2002FRE6 has a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, while RN65C2002BB14 has ±50ppm/°C. This means RN65C2002BB14 exhibits half the resistance drift across temperature variations, providing improved stability in temperature-sensitive applications.
