RN60C1500FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C1500FRE6 is a 150 Ohm, 1/4W metal film axial resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for military and high-reliability applications. This component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. The part is currently active in production with 1357 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format or inventory availability requires alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C1500FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 150 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 base product

The primary variable among equivalent parts is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). Both formats contain identical components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitution is valid when all electrical parameters and physical dimensions remain unchanged.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C1500FRE6 and RN60C1500FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• RN60C1500FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, suitable for automated assembly processes and tape-and-reel handling.
• RN60C1500FB14 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods.

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and are RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status. Component selection should be based on assembly process requirements and supply chain availability rather than electrical performance, as all parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C1500FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C1500FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Cut Tape versus Bulk. Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60C1500FRE6 is specified, provided the assembly process accommodates the Bulk packaging format.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the RN60C1500FRE6?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence across resistance value (150 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), package type (Axial), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L). Packaging format variation is permitted.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Both comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications.

Q: How does packaging format affect component selection?

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly with tape-and-reel handling. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or alternative distribution methods. The choice depends on manufacturing process capability, not component performance.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance for this resistor?

A: The ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistor's resistance change per degree Celsius within the -65°C to 175°C operating range. This specification is identical across all equivalent parts and determines suitability for temperature-sensitive circuit applications.
