Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C3012FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 30.1 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package case: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L

The only variable parameter permitting substitution is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk). All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and performance specifications remain identical across qualified substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C3012FRE6 and RN60C3012FB14 maintain active product status and identical compliance classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99). Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging requirements and procurement logistics. The Tape & Reel format (RN60C3012FRE6) is suitable for automated assembly processes, while the Bulk format (RN60C3012FB14) accommodates manual assembly or alternative handling workflows. Both parts satisfy military-grade specifications under MIL-R-10509/1 and are functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3012FB14 replace RN60C3012FRE6 in production assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging format only. RN60C3012FB14 (Bulk) can replace RN60C3012FRE6 (Tape & Reel) if assembly equipment can accommodate bulk component handling.

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

A: No. Resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and all physical dimensions are identical. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the same RN60 military series specification.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: 30.1 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, axial package, ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 175°C operating range, and identical physical dimensions. Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Bulk) is the only variable parameter.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RN60C3012FRE6 and RN60C3012FB14 share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090).

Q: Which packaging format should I select?

A: Select Tape & Reel (RN60C3012FRE6) for automated pick-and-place assembly. Select Bulk (RN60C3012FB14) for manual assembly or when automated equipment is not available. Both formats deliver the same component specifications.
