Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN50C1001FR36 is determined by the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 1 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.065" Dia x 0.150" L (1.65mm x 3.81mm)
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-R-10509/8, RN50
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN50C1001FRE6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the main part. 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 formats contain the same component with identical performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN50C1001FR36 and RN50C1001FRE6 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

The RN50C1001FR36 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is required. The RN50C1001FRE6 in Cut Tape format is appropriate for lower-volume applications, manual assembly, or situations where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts maintain compliance with MIL-R-10509/8 military specifications and carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on production schedule and delivery requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN50C1001FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN50C1001FR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape. The component itself, its performance characteristics, and military specifications are identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on tape segments, typically in smaller quantities, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance (1 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/8 and are part of the RN50 military series with flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-grade construction.

Q: What should determine my choice between these two parts?

A: Selection should be based on assembly process requirements and packaging logistics. Use Tape & Reel for automated high-volume assembly. Use Cut Tape for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume applications.
