Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2003FRSL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms
• 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: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN60C2003FRE6 qualifies as a parametric equivalent because it maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the main part. The only difference is packaging format: RN60C2003FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60C2003FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share the same base product number RN60.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2003FRSL and RN60C2003FRE6 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts depends on procurement and assembly requirements:

RN60C2003FRSL (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding. RN60C2003FRE6 (Cut Tape format) is appropriate for manual assembly, small-batch production, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Military-grade specifications per MIL-R-10509/1 are maintained across both variants. Current inventory availability shows 918 pieces for RN60C2003FRSL and 2867 pieces for RN60C2003FRE6.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2003FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2003FRSL in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The 200 kOhms resistance value, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range are identical. Physical dimensions and axial package configuration are the same. Substitution is valid from a functional standpoint.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) format provides individual components or small strips cut from tape, suitable for manual assembly or low-volume production. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

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

A: No. Both RN60C2003FRSL and RN60C2003FRE6 share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Military-grade certification per MIL-R-10509/1 applies to both variants.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: RN60C2003FRSL (Tape & Reel format) is optimized for automated assembly processes. The continuous reel format integrates with standard pick-and-place equipment for efficient high-volume production.

Q: Which part should be selected for manual assembly or prototyping?

A: RN60C2003FRE6 (Cut Tape format) is more practical for manual assembly, prototyping, or low-volume applications where individual component handling is required.
