RNC55H2002FSRE8 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RNC55H2002FSRE8 is a 20 kOhms ±1% 0.125W axial through-hole resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale. This military-grade metal film resistor is designed for applications requiring precision resistance values with moisture resistance and weldability characteristics. The part is currently active in production with 1062 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling procurement flexibility and supply chain continuity.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RNC55H2002FSRE8 is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format compatibility. The RNC55H2002FSRE6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, metal film composition, ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 175°C operating range) and mechanical dimensions (0.094" Dia x 0.250" L). The only difference is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both parts share the same base product number (RNC55), military series designation, and failure rate classification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RNC55H2002FSRE8 and RNC55H2002FSRE6 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process compatibility. The Tape & Reel (TR) format of the RNC55H2002FSRE8 is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations. The Cut Tape (CT) format of the RNC55H2002FSRE6 is appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 export classification. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on procurement timeline and production volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RNC55H2002FSRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RNC55H2002FSRE8 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±50ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range) and mechanical dimensions (0.094" Dia x 0.250" L). The only difference is packaging format, which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), ECCN classification (EAR99), HTSUS code (8533.21.0090), and military series designation (MIL-PRF-55182/01, RNC55).

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for RNC55 series resistors?

A: Substitution is based on matching electrical parameters (resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range), composition (metal film), and mechanical dimensions (axial package, 0.094" Dia x 0.250" L). Packaging format differences do not prevent substitution.

Q: Can I mix Tape & Reel and Cut Tape formats in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both packaging formats. Verify that your pick-and-place equipment or manual assembly procedures support Cut Tape handling if switching from Tape & Reel supply.
