Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60C1002DB14 is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 10 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W minimum (1/4W)
• Package Type: Must be Axial configuration
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Series Compliance: Must belong to RN60 military series with MIL-R-10509/1 compliance
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C minimum
• Features: Must include Flame Retardant Coating, Military rating, and Moisture Resistance

The RN60E1002BRE6 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical resistance, power rating, package type, composition, series designation, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is an upgrade in tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), which represents improved precision without compromising any electrical or mechanical compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C1002DB14 and RN60E1002BRE6 maintain identical compliance status with military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1) and regulatory frameworks (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected). Selection between these parts is based on tolerance requirements and temperature stability needs:

• RN60C1002DB14: Select when ±0.5% tolerance meets circuit specifications and cost optimization is prioritized. Suitable for general-purpose military applications with standard precision requirements.

• RN60E1002BRE6: Select when ±0.1% tolerance is required for precision circuits or when improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C) is necessary for temperature-sensitive applications. This part offers enhanced stability characteristics within the same physical and electrical envelope.

Both parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability and identical physical dimensions, ensuring direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability in axial through-hole circuit board layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E1002BRE6 replace RN60C1002DB14 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance value (10 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package type (Axial), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The RN60E1002BRE6 provides improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and better temperature coefficient performance without requiring circuit redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RN60E1002BRE6 offers tighter tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±0.5%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part (RN60C1002DB14) is supplied in Bulk packaging, while the substitute (RN60E1002BRE6) is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Both use identical axial through-hole configuration with matching physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L).

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60C1002DB14 and RN60E1002BRE6 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and are part of the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Which part should be selected for precision applications?

A: RN60E1002BRE6 is the appropriate selection for precision applications requiring tighter tolerance control and improved temperature stability. The ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient provide superior performance in temperature-sensitive or precision measurement circuits.
