RN60C1503FRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C1503FRSL is a 150 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 772 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C1503FRSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 150 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade (exact match required)

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to packaging format: the RN60C1503FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute part RN60C1503FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C1503FRSL and RN60C1503FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60C1503FRSL in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed. The RN60C1503FB14 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where reel packaging is not required. Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99) and are classified under the same HTSUS code 8533.21.0090.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C1503FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C1503FRSL?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. Electrical performance, tolerance, power rating, temperature characteristics, and physical dimensions are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity applications. The component itself is identical in both formats.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) with identical specifications for flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features. They are functionally equivalent for military and high-reliability applications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for the RN60C1503FRSL?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence in resistance value (150 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), 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), and series classification (RN60 military-grade).
