RN60C2211FRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C2211FRSL is a 2.21 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. This component is manufactured by Vishay Dale and conforms to military specification MIL-R-10509/1. The resistor features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part maintains active product status with 670 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the same resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package type, while accommodating variations in packaging format and inventory availability.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2211FRSL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.21 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Military specification compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 series (exact match required)

Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) represents a non-functional variation that does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Substitute parts meeting all electrical and mechanical criteria are functionally equivalent regardless of supply packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C2211FRSL and RN60C2211FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN60 series. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The RN60C2211FB14 provides equivalent functional performance with higher inventory availability (930 units versus 670 units).

Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements. The RN60C2211FRSL is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly processes. The RN60C2211FB14 is supplied in Bulk format suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling procedures. Both parts satisfy identical circuit requirements and environmental specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C2211FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C2211FRSL in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same resistance value (2.21 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military specification compliance (MIL-R-10509/1). The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference?

A: Packaging format affects supply and assembly logistics, not electrical performance. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both RN60C2211FRSL and RN60C2211FB14 are RoHS non-compliant. This status applies uniformly across both parts and should be considered in applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What military specifications do these resistors meet?

A: Both parts conform to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and are part of the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. They feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Can inventory availability influence part selection?

A: Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions. RN60C2211FB14 currently has higher availability (930 units) compared to RN60C2211FRSL (670 units). However, inventory quantities are subject to change and should be verified at time of procurement.
