Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60C2003FRE6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the RN60C2003FR36 based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters Match:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Mechanical Parameters Match:

• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Series & Compliance Match:

• Base product number: RN60
• Military classification: MIL-R-10509/1
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• RoHS status: RoHS non-compliant (both parts)
• REACH status: REACH Affected (both parts)

Packaging Difference: The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: RN60C2003FR36 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60C2003FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2003FR36 and RN60C2003FRE6 are active production components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Inventory Availability: RN60C2003FRE6 has higher stock availability (2867 units) compared to RN60C2003FR36 (1102 units).

Packaging Requirements: RN60C2003FR36 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes. RN60C2003FRE6 in Cut Tape format is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume production runs.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Applications requiring RoHS or REACH compliance cannot use either part without design modification.

Military Specification Compliance: Both parts meet MIL-R-10509/1 military specification requirements with identical performance characteristics across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2003FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2003FR36 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical parameters (200 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±50ppm/°C) and mechanical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L). The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which does not affect circuit performance or component functionality.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain identical components with the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any temperature or environmental performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the full temperature range of -65°C to 175°C with the same temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C. Both feature identical flame retardant coating, military classification, and moisture resistance properties.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60C2003FR36 and RN60C2003FRE6 are classified as Military series components compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specification with identical feature sets including flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification.

Q: What are the compliance implications of the RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations?

A: Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Applications subject to RoHS Directive or REACH regulation requirements cannot use either part without design modification to select compliant alternatives.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly processes?

A: RN60C2003FR36 in Tape & Reel format is the standard choice for automated assembly. RN60C2003FRE6 in Cut Tape format can be used with compatible tape-feeding equipment, but Tape & Reel format is the preferred specification for high-volume automated production.
