Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D1020FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 102 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial Through Hole (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format: the RN60D1020FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute RN60D1020FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D1020FRE6 and RN60D1020FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• RN60D1020FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-based component feeding
• RN60D1020FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where tape & reel format is not required

Both parts maintain compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between these variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1020FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1020FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided the assembly process can accommodate bulk component handling.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance value (102 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging format difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk format is supplied loose and is suitable for manual assembly or applications where automated feeding is not required. The component itself is identical.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1020FRE6 and RN60D1020FB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and are part of the military-grade RN60 series.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance certifications are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume production?

A: Selection depends on assembly infrastructure. Tape & Reel format (RN60D1020FRE6) is standard for automated assembly lines. Bulk format (RN60D1020FB14) may be more economical for lower-volume or manual assembly operations.
