Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C2430FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RN60C2430FB14 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 243 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Identical number of terminations: 2
• Identical series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: RN60C2430FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60C2430FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C2430FRE6 and RN60C2430FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process specifications:

• RN60C2430FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations and high-volume production environments requiring tape-based component feeding.
• RN60C2430FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred for inventory management.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status with respect to RoHS and REACH regulations. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between the two part numbers.
