RN60C1913FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C1913FRE6 is a 191 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 per MIL-R-10509/1 specification, this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part maintains active product status with 745 units currently in stock. Substitute parts become necessary when tape & reel packaging is unavailable or when bulk packaging alternatives are required for specific procurement workflows.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C1913FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format: the main part is supplied in tape & reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute part RN60C1913FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (191 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W metal film), mechanical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), temperature characteristics (±50ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range), and military-grade construction (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 series). The substitution is valid where packaging format does not impose functional or assembly constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C1913FRE6 and RN60C1913FB14 maintain active product status and are manufactured to identical military specifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging requirements. The tape & reel format (RN60C1913FRE6) is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The bulk packaging format (RN60C1913FB14) accommodates manual assembly workflows or procurement scenarios where tape & reel availability is constrained. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance designations. No functional or performance differentiation exists between these parts; substitution is valid based on packaging compatibility with the intended assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C1913FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C1913FRE6 in automated pick-and-place assembly?

A: No. The RN60C1913FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is incompatible with automated tape-fed assembly equipment. The RN60C1913FRE6 tape & reel format is required for automated processes.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are 191 kOhms ±1% metal film resistors with 0.25W power rating, ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -65°C to 175°C operating range. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: What is the difference between tape & reel and bulk packaging?

A: Tape & reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in quantities, suitable for manual assembly or hand-placement applications.

Q: Are both parts compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Compliance status is identical between the two parts.

Q: Can bulk-packaged RN60C1913FB14 be manually loaded into tape for automated assembly?

A: Manual tape loading is not a standard engineering practice and introduces process variability. Use the tape & reel format (RN60C1913FRE6) for automated assembly applications.

Q: Is there any performance difference in military or high-reliability applications?

A: No. Both parts meet identical MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and carry the same flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features. Performance in military applications is equivalent.
