Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C33R2FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 33.2 Ohms
• 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: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C33R2FRE6 and RN60C33R2FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60C33R2FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed. The RN60C33R2FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where component quantities do not justify reel procurement.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military-grade specifications under MIL-R-10509/1. Functional performance in circuit applications is equivalent across all electrical parameters and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C33R2FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C33R2FRE6?

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

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Bulk) does not affect electrical characteristics, tolerance, temperature coefficient, or operating temperature range. It affects only procurement and assembly logistics.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. Both are classified as RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for the RN60C33R2FRE6?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match exactly: resistance value (33.2 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), 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), and series classification (RN60, MIL-R-10509/1).

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: The RN60C33R2FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. The RN60C33R2FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly or low-volume applications.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. The RN60C33R2FRE6 has 947 units in stock, and the RN60C33R2FB14 has 773 units in stock.
