RN60D1301FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D1301FRE6 is a 1.3 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 1,084 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D1301FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.3 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The only permissible variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts must maintain identical base product number (RN60) and military-grade specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1301FRE6 and RN60D1301FB14 are electrically and mechanically identical components from the same military-grade RN60 series. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging requirements:

• RN60D1301FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RN60D1301FB14 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain active production status and comply with identical military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1), regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected), and export control designations (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.21.0090).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1301FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1301FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the packaging format is compatible with assembly requirements.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging consists of loose components suitable for manual assembly or kit distribution. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090). Military specification compliance (MIL-R-10509/1) is identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for RN60D1301FRE6?

A: Substitution is permitted only when all electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical parameters (package type, physical dimensions, composition) remain identical. The RN60 base product number and military-grade feature set must be maintained.

Q: Can I substitute with a different resistance value or tolerance?

A: No. Substitution is restricted to parts with identical 1.3 kOhms resistance and ±1% tolerance. Different values or tolerances are not equivalent and require separate component selection.
