RN60C2701FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The Vishay Dale RN60C2701FRE6 is a 2.7 kOhms ±1% 0.25W (1/4W) axial through-hole metal film resistor featuring flame retardant coating, military qualifications, and moisture resistance. The product is active but is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Identifying alternative models is necessary in cases of supply chain constraints, inventory availability, or specific procurement requirements within equivalent specification parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute and equivalent resistors for RN60C2701FRE6 are selected based strictly on the following key parameters: resistance value (2.7 kOhms), tolerance (equal or tighter), power rating (0.25W, 1/4W), resistor composition (metal film), military features, temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), operating temperature range, axial package, physical dimensions, RoHS status, and REACH status.

Only parts matching all these parameters or providing upgraded tolerance under the same electrical and mechanical specifications are considered suitable substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RN60C2701BB14 matches all key parameters of RN60C2701FRE6, with the distinction of a tighter tolerance (±0.1%). Both resistors are RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, and both meet the same military, electrical, and mechanical characteristics. Engineering selection should be based on available inventory, packaging requirements, and regulatory status as documented.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the most critical parameters for direct substitution of RN60C2701FRE6?
A1: The most critical parameters are resistance (2.7 kOhms), tolerance, power rating (0.25W, 1/4W), composition (metal film), military and moisture resistance features, temperature coefficient, package (axial), mechanical dimensions, RoHS status, and REACH status.

Q2: Is RN60C2701BB14 fully compatible with RN60C2701FRE6 in terms of installation and electrical characteristics?
A2: Yes. RN60C2701BB14 matches or exceeds all specified parameters, including form factor, power rating, and all features, with a tighter tolerance.

Q3: Do differences in packaging (Bulk vs. Cut Tape) affect electrical or mechanical selection?
A3: Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility when assembling the resistor into a circuit, but may impact handling and component feeding in automated assembly processes.

Q4: Are RoHS or REACH compliance considerations relevant for the substitute parts listed?
A4: Both listed part numbers are RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. There is no difference in regulatory compliance between RN60C2701FRE6 and RN60C2701BB14.

Q5: Can substitutes be used interchangeably for the same design approval and qualification documents?
A5: Both substitute parts share the same base series, military series specification, features, and mechanical dimensions; any use in design or qualification documents should reference supplied manufacturer part numbers and series as provided.
