RN60C4702CBSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C4702CBSL is a 47 kOhm ±0.25% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 1102 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to inventory constraints, packaging format preferences, or tolerance specification upgrades for enhanced circuit performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C4702CBSL is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 47 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• Package Type: Must be Axial configuration
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Temperature Coefficient: Must be ±50ppm/°C or better
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series Compliance: Must belong to RN60 military series (MIL-R-10509/1)

The RN60C4702BRE6 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical resistance, power rating, package type, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary distinction is an upgrade in tolerance specification from ±0.25% to ±0.1%, which represents improved accuracy without compromising any electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C4702CBSL and RN60C4702BRE6 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1). Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

RN60C4702CBSL is appropriate when:

• Bulk packaging format is required for manufacturing processes
• Tolerance specification of ±0.25% meets circuit requirements
• Current inventory availability is prioritized

RN60C4702BRE6 is appropriate when:

• Cut Tape (CT) packaging format is preferred for automated assembly or component handling
• Enhanced tolerance of ±0.1% is required for improved circuit accuracy
• Higher inventory availability (1974 units) supports procurement timelines

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99) and are suitable for military and high-reliability applications across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C4702BRE6 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C4702CBSL?

A: Yes. The RN60C4702BRE6 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RN60C4702CBSL. Both components share identical resistance value (47 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), package type (Axial), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). The substitute part features improved tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.25%), which enhances circuit accuracy without introducing incompatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Bulk and Cut Tape (CT) packaging?

A: Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or bin storage. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on continuous tape in standardized quantities, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both packaging formats contain identical components; the difference is in handling and assembly methodology.

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

A: No. Both RN60C4702CBSL and RN60C4702BRE6 share identical compliance designations: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Both are certified to MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications.

Q: Which part should be selected for improved circuit tolerance performance?

A: The RN60C4702BRE6 provides ±0.1% tolerance compared to ±0.25% for the RN60C4702CBSL. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements. If the design specification requires tolerance better than ±0.25%, the RN60C4702BRE6 is the appropriate choice.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both components have identical axial package dimensions of 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts and through-hole assembly processes.
