Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2210FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 221 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The identified substitute part RN60C2210FB14 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical component specifications, certifications, and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C2210FRE6 and RN60C2210FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• RN60C2210FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring reel-based component feeding.
• RN60C2210FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, repair operations, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Component selection should account for end-application compliance requirements and regulatory obligations in the target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2210FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2210FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the component specifications match the circuit requirements.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in standard quantities. Both formats contain identical components with the same electrical specifications.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these substitute parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Performance in circuit operation is equivalent.

Q: Which packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Select Tape & Reel for automated manufacturing environments. Select Bulk for manual assembly, prototyping, or repair applications. The choice depends on assembly process requirements, not component performance.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60C2210FRE6 and RN60C2210FB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 and are part of the military-grade RN60 series with identical feature sets including flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety ratings.
