Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1820FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 182 Ohms
• 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 designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: RN60D1820FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D1820FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1820FRE6 and RN60D1820FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• RN60D1820FRE6 is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel packaging
• RN60D1820FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and are suitable for applications requiring military-grade resistors with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1820FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1820FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: RN60D1820FRE6 uses Tape & Reel format while RN60D1820FB14 uses Bulk format. Substitution is valid when packaging requirements permit bulk format.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability?

A: Substitutability is determined by: resistance value (182 Ohms), 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 x 0.344" L). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. The packaging format only affects handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and feature flame retardant coating, military designation, moisture resistance, and safety features required for military applications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: RN60D1820FRE6 has 1037 units in stock. RN60D1820FB14 has 783 units in stock. Both are active production parts.
