Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1821FRE6 and its identified substitute share identical electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. Substitution is valid based on the following matching parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.82 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 RN60, MIL-R-10509/1
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military Grade, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The primary difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Bulk. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not alter component performance or electrical behavior.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1821FRE6 and RN60D1821FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on procurement requirements and assembly processes:

RN60D1821FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for automated assembly operations requiring continuous component feed from tape reels.

RN60D1821FB14 (Bulk packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts carry RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Both are subject to EAR99 export control classification. Component selection should account for supply chain availability, with RN60D1821FB14 currently showing higher inventory levels at 862 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1821FB14 replace RN60D1821FRE6 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, electrical characteristics, and physical dimensions are identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous adhesive tape wound on reels, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in containers, suitable for manual assembly or applications not requiring automated handling.

Q: Are both parts military-grade components?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1821FRE6 and RN60D1821FB14 are classified as military-grade resistors conforming to MIL-R-10509/1 specification within the RN60 series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these resistors?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C. Temperature coefficient is ±100ppm/°C for both variants.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

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

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: RN60D1821FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated assembly lines. RN60D1821FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes.
