Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60C4702FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 47 kOhms
• Power Rating: Must be 0.25W (1/4W) minimum
• Package Configuration: Must be Axial through-hole
• 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 conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification
• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±1%

The RN60C4702BRE6 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical resistance, power rating, package type, composition, temperature coefficient, operating range, and military series compliance. The substitute part offers improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%), which represents an upgrade path for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60C4702FRE6 and RN60C4702BRE6 maintain active product status from Vishay Dale and comply with military specification MIL-R-10509/1. Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0090) classifications.

Selection between these parts depends on tolerance requirements:

• RN60C4702FRE6: Suitable for applications where ±1% tolerance meets circuit specifications and cost optimization is prioritized.
• RN60C4702BRE6: Suitable for applications requiring tighter tolerance control at ±0.1%, providing improved accuracy for precision analog circuits or measurement applications.

Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within their respective tolerance specifications. Inventory availability is adequate for both options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C4702BRE6 replace RN60C4702FRE6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RN60C4702BRE6 is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for tolerance. The tighter ±0.1% tolerance of the substitute part is compatible with any application designed for the ±1% tolerance of the main part.

Q: Are there any package or dimensional differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical axial package configuration with dimensions of 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference?

A: The RN60C4702BRE6 offers ±0.1% tolerance compared to ±1% for the RN60C4702FRE6. This tighter tolerance reduces resistance value variation and is beneficial for precision circuits, but both parts operate identically in applications where ±1% accuracy is acceptable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and are part of the RN60 series. They share identical temperature coefficients, operating temperature ranges, and feature sets including flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS, REACH, ECCN, and HTSUS classifications. They are equivalent from a regulatory and compliance standpoint.
