Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D1652FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.5 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 configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military Grade, Moisture Resistant, Safety Metal Film

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1652FRE6 and RN60D1652FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• RN60D1652FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RN60D1652FB14 (Bulk packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Both are subject to EAR99 export control classification. No electrical performance differential exists between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1652FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1652FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, reliability, and environmental specifications are equivalent.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or hand-soldering applications. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

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

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

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) with identical military specifications, flame retardant coating, and moisture-resistant properties.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: resistance value (16.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), package type (Axial), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L).
