Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D1692FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.9 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: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and performance specifications remain identical. This substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impose supply chain or assembly constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D1692FRE6 and RN60D1692FB14 maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1). Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements:

• RN60D1692FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous reel feeding
• RN60D1692FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where reel packaging is not required

Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Compliance requirements must be evaluated at the system level. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between these parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1692FB14 replace RN60D1692FRE6 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided your assembly process accommodates bulk packaging.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in containers, typically used 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 mount identically in axial through-hole configurations.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specifications within the RN60 series and feature identical flame retardant coating, military-grade construction, and moisture-resistant properties.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient difference?

A: There is no difference. Both parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment and supply chain processes support the packaging format of the selected part. Electrical performance and reliability are identical.
