Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D1960FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 196 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 the main part and substitute is the packaging format: RN60D1960FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D1960FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D1960FRE6 and RN60D1960FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• RN60D1960FRE6 is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel packaging
• RN60D1960FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military specification adherence (MIL-R-10509/1). Current inventory levels support either selection: 1065 units for RN60D1960FRE6 and 867 units for RN60D1960FB14.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D1960FB14 be used in place of RN60D1960FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided the assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, composition, and physical dimensions.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. The electrical performance is unaffected by packaging format.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D1960FRE6 and RN60D1960FB14 are part of the RN60 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. Both are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected.
