Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1240FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid because both parts share:

• Identical resistance value: 124 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Identical series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference is packaging format: RN60D1240FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D1240FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both maintain full compliance with military specifications and environmental requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1240FRE6 and RN60D1240FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military specification compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• RN60D1240FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling
• RN60D1240FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where tape & reel format is not required

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, and EAR99 ECCN classification. No functional or performance differences exist between these parts; selection is determined by procurement and assembly methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1240FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1240FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). If your assembly process accommodates bulk packaging, RN60D1240FB14 is a valid substitute.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk format supplies loose components in bags or trays, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.145" diameter × 0.344" length (3.68mm × 8.74mm) and use identical axial package construction.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1240FRE6 and RN60D1240FB14 are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and feature identical military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: What is the temperature operating range for these resistors?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C, with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and ECCN classification (EAR99).
