Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C3922FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 39.2 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 x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only allowable variation is packaging format (tape and reel versus bulk). All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and military specifications must remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C3922FRE6 and RN60C3922FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability.

The RN60C3922FRE6 in tape and reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60C3922FB14 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and maintain RoHS non-compliant status with REACH affected designation. ECCN classification is EAR99 for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3922FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C3922FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: RN60C3922FRE6 is supplied in tape and reel format, while RN60C3922FB14 is supplied in bulk. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and handling procedures.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH affected, and ECCN EAR99. Military specification MIL-R-10509/1 applies to both variants.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for the RN60C3922FRE6?

A: Substitution is valid only when all electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical specifications (package type, dimensions, composition) remain identical. Packaging format variation is the only allowable difference.

Q: Is the physical size identical between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain the same axial package dimensions of 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm). Physical compatibility with PCB layouts and component spacing is identical.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance for these parts?

A: The ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistance value change per degree Celsius across the -65°C to 175°C operating range. This specification is identical for both the main part and substitute, ensuring equivalent performance across temperature extremes.
