Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN65D2153FRE6 and RN65D2153FB14 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents within the RN65 military resistor series. Substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Resistance value: 215 kOhms (identical)
• Tolerance: ±1% (identical)
• Power rating: 0.5W/1/2W (identical)
• Composition: Metal Film (identical)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (identical)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (identical)
• Package/Case: Axial (identical)
• Physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (identical)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/2, RN65 (identical)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety (identical)

The sole difference between these parts is packaging format: RN65D2153FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN65D2153FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both maintain identical electrical performance and physical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN65D2153FRE6 and RN65D2153FB14 are active production components suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 215 kOhms ±1% metal film axial resistors with military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

RN65D2153FRE6 (Tape & Reel format) is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed from tape reels, typical in high-volume manufacturing environments.

RN65D2153FB14 (Bulk format) is appropriate for manual assembly, kit assembly, or lower-volume production runs where individual component handling is standard practice.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and environmental protection characteristics. Neither part is RoHS compliant; both are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D2153FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D2153FRE6 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Circuit performance is unaffected by this packaging difference.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute between these two part numbers?

A: Packaging format availability and procurement logistics. If Tape & Reel format is unavailable, Bulk format provides the same component. Conversely, if Bulk format is unavailable, Tape & Reel format serves automated assembly requirements.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when switching from RN65D2153FRE6 to RN65D2153FB14?

A: No compatibility issues exist at the component level. Assembly process compatibility depends on your manufacturing equipment. Tape & Reel format requires compatible tape-fed assembly equipment, while Bulk format requires manual or bin-fed assembly capability.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications and are part of the same RN65 military resistor series. Military qualification, temperature performance, and environmental protection are identical.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: RN65D2153FRE6 (Tape & Reel) has 772 units in stock. RN65D2153FB14 (Bulk) has 1171 units in stock. Both are active production parts with current availability.
