Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C4702DB14 and RN60C4702BRE6 are active production components from Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN60 series. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and procurement constraints:

RN60C4702DB14 (±0.5% tolerance, Bulk packaging): Suitable for applications where standard tolerance specifications are acceptable and bulk packaging format is preferred for manufacturing operations.

RN60C4702BRE6 (±0.1% tolerance, Cut Tape packaging): Appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance control and where Cut Tape packaging format aligns with assembly processes. The improved tolerance specification provides enhanced precision without compromising electrical or thermal performance.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military-grade certifications. Selection should be based on tolerance requirements and packaging format compatibility with procurement and assembly workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C4702BRE6 replace RN60C4702DB14 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (47 kOhms, 0.25W, ±50ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range), mechanical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), composition (metal film), and military-grade features. The RN60C4702BRE6 provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±0.5%), making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for precision-critical applications.

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

A: Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual handling and bin storage. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides components on continuous tape in standardized quantities, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and assembly automation capabilities.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical compliance designations: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both are certified to MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and feature identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certifications.

Q: Does the tolerance upgrade affect circuit performance?

A: The RN60C4702BRE6 tolerance of ±0.1% is tighter than the RN60C4702DB14 tolerance of ±0.5%, resulting in more precise resistance values. This upgrade improves circuit accuracy without introducing any negative effects and is suitable for applications requiring tighter component tolerances.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. RN60C4702DB14 has 959 units in stock, and RN60C4702BRE6 has 1974 units in stock, both listed as active production components.
