RN60C6811FRSL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60C6811FRSL is a 6.81 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is part of the military-grade RN60 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. The part features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit tolerance upgrades while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60C6811FRSL is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant or improve:

• Resistance value: 6.81 kOhms (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Package type: Axial (mechanical compatibility)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (thermal stability)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (environmental compatibility)
• Composition: Metal Film (electrical characteristics)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (military specification)

Tolerance may be upgraded from ±1% to ±0.1% without affecting circuit functionality, as tighter tolerance represents improved performance. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and is determined by procurement requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RN60C6811BB14 is a direct substitute for the RN60C6811FRSL. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and military compliance. The RN60C6811BB14 provides improved tolerance performance at ±0.1% compared to the ±1% specification of the main part, representing an upgrade in precision without any compromise to circuit compatibility or reliability.

Both parts are Active products with current manufacturing status. RoHS non-compliance status is identical across both parts. REACH and ECCN classifications remain unchanged. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements: Tape & Reel format for automated assembly processes or Bulk format for manual assembly or alternative procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C6811BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60C6811FRSL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RN60C6811BB14 is electrically and mechanically compatible. All critical parameters including resistance value, power rating, temperature range, and physical dimensions are identical. The improved tolerance specification of ±0.1% does not create incompatibility.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is used for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or alternative procurement workflows. The electrical and mechanical properties of the component are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are both parts military-grade components?

A: Yes. Both RN60C6811FRSL and RN60C6811BB14 are part of the military RN60 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Does the tolerance difference affect circuit performance?

A: The RN60C6811BB14 tolerance of ±0.1% is tighter than the RN60C6811FRSL tolerance of ±1%. This represents improved precision and does not create any negative effects on circuit performance. Applications requiring tighter tolerance control benefit from this upgrade.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C, providing identical thermal performance and environmental compatibility for military and high-reliability applications.
