Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1802FRE6 and RN60D1802FB14 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents within the RN60 military resistor series. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 18 kOhms
• 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 x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical series and military certification: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: RN60D1802FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D1802FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both maintain identical electrical performance and physical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1802FRE6 and RN60D1802FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on procurement and assembly requirements:

RN60D1802FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring component feeding from tape reels. RN60D1802FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where tape packaging is not required. Both parts maintain MIL-R-10509/1 military certification and are RoHS non-compliant with REACH affected status. Compliance requirements should be evaluated against end-application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1802FB14 replace RN60D1802FRE6 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical 18 kOhms ±1% metal film resistors with 0.25W power rating and identical operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Circuit performance is unaffected by this substitution.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual assembly or kit applications. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1802FRE6 and RN60D1802FB14 are certified to MIL-R-10509/1 military standard and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification appropriate for military-grade applications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance?

A: The ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistor's resistance change per degree Celsius within the -65°C to 175°C operating range. This specification is identical for both parts, ensuring consistent performance across temperature extremes.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must evaluate alternative component options. Both parts are REACH affected and carry EAR99 export classification.
