Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN55D3012FR36 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The allowed substitute must maintain identical resistance value (30.1 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), composition (metal film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), axial package configuration, and military series designation (MIL-R-10509/7, RN55). The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the RN55D3012FR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the RN55D3012FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical electrical performance and physical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN55D3012FR36 and RN55D3012FRE6 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications and military compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging format requirements and procurement workflow. The RN55D3012FR36 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel supply. The RN55D3012FRE6 in Cut Tape format accommodates manual assembly, small-batch production, or applications where individual component handling is preferred. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH-affected classification. Component selection should align with assembly methodology and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance, as both parts deliver identical functional characteristics within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55D3012FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN55D3012FR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape). The substitute maintains all critical parameters: 30.1 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The RN55D3012FR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the RN55D3012FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. This distinction affects supply format and assembly process compatibility, not electrical or physical performance.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both the RN55D3012FR36 and RN55D3012FRE6 comply with military specification MIL-R-10509/7 and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Do these parts have identical physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.090" diameter by 0.240" length (2.29mm x 6.10mm) in axial configuration with two terminations.

Q: Which packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Select Tape & Reel (RN55D3012FR36) for high-volume automated assembly. Select Cut Tape (RN55D3012FRE6) for manual assembly, prototyping, or low-volume production runs.
