Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RNC60H2002FSM23 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-PRF-55182/03, RNC60
• Features: Military, Moisture Resistant, Weldable
• Physical dimensions: 0.097" Dia x 0.280" L (2.46mm x 7.11mm)

The identified substitute part RNC60H2002FSB14 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RNC60H2002FSM23 and RNC60H2002FSB14 are active military-grade resistors with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability and procurement requirements. Both parts carry the same RoHS non-compliant status and EAR99 export classification. The RNC60H2002FSB14 currently has higher inventory availability (2000 pieces) compared to the RNC60H2002FSM23 (971 pieces), which may influence supply chain decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RNC60H2002FSM23 and RNC60H2002FSB14 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance (20 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). They are direct electrical equivalents.

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

A: Yes. Both parts share identical axial package dimensions (0.097" Dia x 0.280" L), two terminations, and through-hole mounting requirements. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between RNC60H2002FSM23 and RNC60H2002FSB14?

A: Both parts are from the same RNC60 military series and meet MIL-PRF-55182/03 specifications. The parts differ only in their internal packaging designation (FSM23 vs. FSB14), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS regulations?

A: No. Both RNC60H2002FSM23 and RNC60H2002FSB14 are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required, alternative parts from a different series must be selected.

Q: What military specifications do these resistors meet?

A: Both parts comply with MIL-PRF-55182/03 and are part of the military-grade RNC60 series. They feature moisture resistance and weldability as required for military applications.
