Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D5001FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W minimum
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series Compliance: Must belong to RN65 military series per MIL-R-10509/2
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)

The RN65E5001BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute. While it features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), these represent performance enhancements rather than deviations. The primary difference is packaging format: RN65E5001BB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging versus Tape & Reel for the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN65D5001FRE6 and RN65E5001BB14 maintain active product status and comply with identical military specifications and certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

RN65D5001FRE6 is appropriate when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when the ±1% tolerance specification is explicitly called out in design documentation.

RN65E5001BB14 is appropriate when Bulk packaging is acceptable and when the improved tolerance (±0.1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) provide design margin benefits. This part is suitable for applications where tighter resistance stability across temperature is advantageous.

Both parts satisfy RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status identically. No functional or reliability differences exist between these components when applied within their specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65E5001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D5001FRE6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent within the RN65 military series. The substitute features superior tolerance and temperature stability, making it functionally compatible for any application requiring the RN65D5001FRE6.

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

A: The main difference is packaging format. RN65D5001FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for pick-and-place assembly, while RN65E5001BB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Electrically, RN65E5001BB14 offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±100ppm/°C).

Q: Are both parts compliant with military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN65D5001FRE6 and RN65E5001BB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/2 and belong to the RN65 military series. They share identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features.

Q: Does the improved tolerance of RN65E5001BB14 affect circuit design?

A: No. The ±0.1% tolerance of RN65E5001BB14 is a performance enhancement relative to the ±1% specification of RN65D5001FRE6. Circuits designed for ±1% tolerance will operate within specification with the substitute part.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: RN65D5001FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. RN65E5001BB14 in Bulk format requires manual handling or custom tape preparation. Interchangeability depends on assembly process capabilities.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: RN65D5001FRE6 has 708 units in stock (Tape & Reel). RN65E5001BB14 has 1691 units in stock (Bulk). Selection may be influenced by required delivery timeline and packaging format compatibility with manufacturing processes.
