Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D18R0FRE6 has one identified substitute: RN60D18R0FB14. Both parts are functionally equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitutability:

• Resistance value: 18 Ohms
• 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 x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: RN60D18R0FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D18R0FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D18R0FRE6 and RN60D18R0FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• RN60D18R0FRE6 is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel packaging format.
• RN60D18R0FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable.

Both parts maintain the same RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status. No electrical performance difference exists between these substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D18R0FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D18R0FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (18 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range) and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L). The only difference is packaging format: tape & reel versus bulk.

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 is used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Both comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications.

Q: Which substitute should I select if inventory is a concern?

A: RN60D18R0FB14 has higher inventory availability (1762 units) compared to RN60D18R0FRE6 (674 units). Selection should align with your assembly process requirements and packaging compatibility.

Q: Do these parts have identical temperature performance?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, ensuring identical thermal stability in military and high-reliability applications.
