Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RNC55H2002FSR36 are identified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: MIL-PRF-55182/01, RNC55

Mechanical Parameters (Non-Negotiable):

• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.094" Dia × 0.250" L (2.39mm × 6.35mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±1% or tighter (±0.1%)
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR), Cut Tape (CT), or Bulk
• Inventory status: Active production

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in tolerance and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RNC55H2002FSR36 (Original Part): Select this part when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. Maintains ±1% tolerance specification and active production status.

RNC55H2002BSB14 (Upgrade Substitute): Select this part when tighter tolerance (±0.1%) is required for precision applications. Bulk packaging format is suitable for manual assembly or kitting operations. Tighter tolerance provides improved accuracy over the original ±1% specification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters.

RNC55H2002FSRE6 (Parametric Equivalent): Select this part when Cut Tape packaging is required. Maintains identical electrical specifications (±1% tolerance) and mechanical dimensions as the original part. Cut Tape format provides an alternative to Tape & Reel for semi-automated or manual assembly workflows.

All three parts are actively produced, comply with MIL-PRF-55182/01 military specification, and share identical failure rate classification. Selection between these parts depends on packaging format availability and tolerance requirements for the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RNC55H2002BSB14 replace RNC55H2002FSR36 in all applications?

A: Yes, with the following consideration: RNC55H2002BSB14 provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to the original ±1% tolerance. This tighter tolerance is a performance upgrade and is compatible with all applications designed for the original part. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is supplied on continuous tape wound on reels for high-speed automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) is supplied on tape segments cut to specific lengths for semi-automated or manual assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components for manual kitting or assembly. All three formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are all three parts electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical resistance value (20 kOhms), power rating (0.125W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). RNC55H2002BSB14 offers tighter tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%), which is a compatible upgrade.

Q: Do these parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. All three parts comply with MIL-PRF-55182/01 specification and are classified as military-grade components with S-class failure rate (0.001%).

Q: What is the physical compatibility between these parts?

A: All three parts are axial through-hole resistors with identical physical dimensions (0.094" Dia × 0.250" L / 2.39mm × 6.35mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs designed for axial resistor mounting.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations?

A: All three parts are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required, alternative component families must be evaluated.
