RN60D1401FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D1401FRE6 is a 1.4 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 948 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1401FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN60D1401FRE6 based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (RN60), resistance value (1.4 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), and military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: RN60D1401FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while RN60D1401FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects only procurement and handling procedures, not component performance or application compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1401FRE6 and RN60D1401FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements and assembly processes:

RN60D1401FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for automated assembly operations and high-volume production environments where tape-fed component handling is standard.

RN60D1401FB14 (Bulk packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0090) and are suitable for military and high-reliability applications requiring MIL-R-10509/1 specification compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1401FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1401FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Component performance, reliability, and application compatibility are unchanged.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in containers suitable for manual handling or alternative assembly methods. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting between these part numbers?

A: No compatibility issues exist. Both parts share identical axial package dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), lead configurations (2 terminations), and electrical characteristics. PCB footprints and circuit performance are unchanged.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1401FRE6 and RN60D1401FB14 are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and feature identical military-grade construction including flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: RN60D1401FRE6 has 948 units in stock. RN60D1401FB14 has 1191 units in stock. Both are active production components.
