RN55D8871FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN55D8871FRE6 is an 8.87 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.125W (1/8W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is part of the military-grade RN55 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/7 specifications. The part features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. Finding equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when the tape and reel (TR) packaging is unavailable or when bulk packaging alternatives are required for specific procurement or inventory management scenarios.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN55D8871FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.87 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Military series compliance: MIL-R-10509/7, RN55
• Physical dimensions: 0.090" Dia x 0.240" L (2.29mm x 6.10mm)

The RN55D8871FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The only difference between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in tape and reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts maintain the same base product number (RN55) and military-grade construction standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN55D8871FRE6 and RN55D8871FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement workflow:

The RN55D8871FRE6 in tape and reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require standardized reel formats.

The RN55D8871FB14 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, low-volume production, repair operations, or inventory applications where tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH-affected classification. Both are subject to EAR99 export control classification. Component selection should account for these compliance considerations within the context of the end-application requirements and regulatory environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN55D8871FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN55D8871FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The RN55D8871FB14 differs only in packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel). Functional performance in the circuit is equivalent.

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

A: The packaging format is the only difference. RN55D8871FRE6 is supplied in tape and reel (TR) configuration for automated assembly. RN55D8871FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging for manual assembly or alternative procurement scenarios.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist for circuit-level performance. Both parts have identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions are identical, ensuring mechanical fit in the same footprint. Substitution considerations are limited to assembly process compatibility and packaging handling requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN55D8871FRE6 and RN55D8871FB14 are part of the military-grade RN55 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/7 specifications. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between tape and reel versus bulk packaging?

A: Tape and reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, repair kits, or applications where automated feeding is not required. Inventory management, assembly process capability, and production volume should guide this selection.
