RNC50J2002BPRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RNC50J2002BPRSL is a 20 kOhms ±0.1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.1W (1/10W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RNC50 series (MIL-PRF-55182/07), this component is designed for applications requiring precision resistance with military specifications, moisture resistance, and weldability. The part maintains active product status with 887 units currently in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific application requirements for alternative failure rate classifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RNC50J2002BPRSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.1W, 1/10W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.070" Dia x 0.150" L (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-PRF-55182/07, RNC50 (exact match required)
• Features: Military, Moisture Resistant, Weldable (exact match required)

The RNC50J2002BSB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and failure rate classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RNC50J2002BPRSL and RNC50J2002BSB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain full compliance with MIL-PRF-55182/07 military specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RNC50J2002BPRSL (Tape & Reel): Select this configuration when automated assembly processes require tape and reel packaging. Failure rate classification P (0.1%) is suitable for standard military applications.

RNC50J2002BSB14 (Bulk): Select this configuration for manual assembly operations or when bulk packaging is preferred. The improved failure rate classification S (0.001%) provides enhanced reliability margin for critical applications requiring lower defect rates.

Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, temperature performance, and military feature sets. RoHS non-compliance status is consistent across both variants. Selection should prioritize assembly methodology and reliability requirements specific to the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RNC50J2002BSB14 be used as a direct replacement for RNC50J2002BPRSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. The difference is packaging format and failure rate classification.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is supplied loose or in alternative formats suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. The resistor component itself is identical.

Q: Does the failure rate difference affect component functionality?

A: No. Failure rate classification reflects statistical defect probability over time, not functional performance. Both P (0.1%) and S (0.001%) classifications indicate military-grade reliability. The S classification represents a lower defect rate suitable for applications with enhanced reliability requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both RNC50J2002BPRSL and RNC50J2002BSB14 are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required, alternative component selection is necessary.

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

A: Yes, provided the assembly process accommodates the packaging format. Tape & Reel parts require automated equipment; Bulk parts are suitable for manual placement. Once soldered, the components are functionally identical.
