Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C1502FBSL and RN60C1502FB14 are active products within the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. Selection between these parts is based on inventory availability and procurement requirements rather than electrical or mechanical differentiation. The RN60C1502FB14 maintains 838 units in inventory compared to 705 units for the RN60C1502FBSL. Both components carry identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. For applications requiring military specification compliance, flame retardant coating, and moisture resistance across the specified temperature range, either part satisfies the design requirements without modification to circuit design or board layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C1502FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C1502FBSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications (15 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), composition (metal film), package (axial), temperature characteristics (±50ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C), and military-grade features. No circuit redesign or board layout modification is required.

Q: Are there any differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical dimensions of 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for RN60 series resistors?

A: Substitution is valid when resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, package type, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and series classification remain identical. All feature sets including flame retardant coating, military specification, and moisture resistance must also match.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RN60C1502FBSL and RN60C1502FB14 share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS classification 8533.21.0090.

Q: Which part should be selected based on availability?

A: RN60C1502FB14 currently maintains higher inventory (838 units) compared to RN60C1502FBSL (705 units). Selection should be based on procurement lead time and supply chain requirements.
