Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60C5000BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN60C5000BRE6 based on the following criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 500 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±0.1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Identical Compliance & Features:

• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• RoHS Status: RoHS non-compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Affected
• ECCN: EAR99

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: RN60C5000BRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60C5000BB14 is supplied in Bulk format. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60C5000BRE6 and RN60C5000BB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

RN60C5000BRE6 (Tape & Reel): Select this part number when automated assembly processes require tape and reel packaging format for pick-and-place equipment integration.

RN60C5000BB14 (Bulk): Select this part number when bulk packaging is acceptable for manual assembly, prototyping, or when tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts maintain full compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and are suitable for applications requiring military-grade, moisture-resistant metal film resistors with tight tolerance and stable temperature characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C5000BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C5000BRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). If your assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging, RN60C5000BB14 is a valid substitute.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in a container, suitable for manual assembly or prototyping. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both RN60C5000BRE6 and RN60C5000BB14 are marked as RoHS non-compliant. They are REACH Affected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: What military specification do these resistors meet?

A: Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and are part of the RN60 series from Vishay Dale.

Q: Can these resistors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for operating temperatures from -65°C to 175°C with a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, making them suitable for high-temperature environments within this range.

Q: What is the tolerance specification?

A: Both parts have a tolerance of ±0.1%, providing tight resistance value accuracy suitable for precision circuit applications.
