Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60C3652FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differentiator between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, and military series designation. Substitution is valid only when packaging format compatibility with assembly or procurement requirements is confirmed. No electrical performance variation exists between these parts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between RN60C3652FRE6 and RN60C3652FB14 is determined solely by packaging format requirements and procurement constraints. Both parts are active, manufactured by Vishay Dale, and carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The RN60C3652FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. The RN60C3652FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly, kit assembly, or applications where reel packaging is not required. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status, requiring equivalent compliance documentation and handling procedures. Selection should be based on assembly methodology and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3652FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C3652FRE6 in circuit design?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, reliability, and specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The RN60C3652FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated pick-and-place assembly. The RN60C3652FB14 is supplied in Bulk format for manual or kit-based assembly. All electrical parameters, physical dimensions, and material composition are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Both comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and carry the same safety and reliability certifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: The RN60C3652FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated assembly processes. The Bulk format RN60C3652FB14 is not suitable for standard reel-fed pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Can the Bulk format part be converted to Tape & Reel format?

A: This is a procurement and supply chain decision outside the scope of electrical equivalence. Consult with your component supplier or assembly partner regarding format conversion services.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm) and are housed in identical axial package configuration. PCB footprint and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification for both parts?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C across the operating range of -65°C to 175°C.
