RN60C3011FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C3011FRE6 is a 3.01 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. This component is manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) and features flame retardant coating with moisture-resistant properties suitable for military and safety-critical applications. The part maintains active product status with 700 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while all critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical, enabling procurement flexibility without functional compromise.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C3011FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 3.01 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 classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The identified substitute part RN60C3011FB14 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. 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 are manufactured by Vishay Dale and carry active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C3011FRE6 and RN60C3011FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60C3011FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed. The RN60C3011FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where individual component handling is required.

Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Both are subject to EAR99 export control classification. Compliance requirements must be evaluated against end-use application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3011FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C3011FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Functional performance in the circuit is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly, component kits, or repair applications. The choice depends on manufacturing process requirements, not electrical performance.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and ECCN classification (EAR99). Compliance considerations apply equally to both parts.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution eligibility?

A: Resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package type, physical dimensions, and series classification must all match exactly. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies substitution.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in substitution selection?

A: Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions. RN60C3011FB14 currently has 823 units in stock compared to 700 units for RN60C3011FRE6. However, inventory status does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
