Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1913FRE6 and RN60C1913FB14 are active production components within the Vishay Dale RN60 military-grade resistor series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

RN60D1913FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Select when automated assembly processes require tape and reel packaging format, or when component handling and storage procedures specify this packaging configuration.

RN60C1913FB14 (Bulk): Select when bulk packaging is compatible with assembly processes, or when inventory management and cost considerations favor bulk format. This substitute offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), providing enhanced stability across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture-resistant properties. Neither part is RoHS compliant; both are REACH affected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C1913FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D1913FRE6 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (191 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), and physical dimensions. The substitute exhibits superior temperature coefficient performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. RN60D1913FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while RN60C1913FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Additionally, RN60C1913FB14 features a tighter temperature coefficient specification (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C).

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues when substituting RN60C1913FB14 for RN60D1913FRE6?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical axial package configuration and physical dimensions of 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm). PCB footprints and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: Does the improved temperature coefficient of RN60C1913FB14 affect circuit performance?

A: The ±50ppm/°C specification of RN60C1913FB14 represents improved stability compared to the ±100ppm/°C of RN60D1913FRE6. This provides tighter resistance tolerance maintenance across the operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C, which may benefit applications requiring enhanced temperature stability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified within the RN60 military-grade series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 and feature flame retardant coating and moisture-resistant construction appropriate for military and high-reliability applications.

Q: What packaging considerations should be evaluated when selecting between these parts?

A: Evaluate your assembly process requirements. Tape & Reel format (RN60D1913FRE6) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk format (RN60C1913FB14) may be suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling procedures. Verify compatibility with your specific manufacturing equipment and processes.
