Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D2400FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 240 Ohms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W/1/2W (exact match required)
• Package Type: Must be Axial (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: Must be 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L (exact match required)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Military Series Compliance: Must conform to MIL-R-10509/2 specification

The RN65C2400BB14 qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differences are tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which represent improvements and format flexibility rather than incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65D2400FRE6 and RN65C2400BB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical military qualification and compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

RN65D2400FRE6 is appropriate when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when standard ±1% tolerance meets circuit requirements.

RN65C2400BB14 is appropriate when tighter tolerance specification (±0.1%) is required for precision applications, or when Bulk packaging format is preferred. The improved temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C) provides superior stability across the operating temperature range.

Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, requiring equivalent compliance documentation for procurement and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65C2400BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D2400FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value, power rating, physical dimensions, operating temperature range, and military series compliance. The RN65C2400BB14 features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and temperature coefficient performance, making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for most applications.

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

A: The main differences are packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and tolerance specification. RN65C2400BB14 provides tighter tolerance and better temperature stability, while RN65D2400FRE6 is supplied in automated assembly-ready Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L (4.57mm × 14.27mm) and are axial package type, ensuring identical PCB footprint and mounting compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts conform to MIL-R-10509/2 specification and are part of the Vishay Dale RN65 military series with identical feature sets including flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety rating.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: RN65D2400FRE6 has 770 units in stock. RN65C2400BB14 has 875 units in stock. Both are active production parts.
