Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2102FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 21 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)

The identified substitute part RN60D2102FB14 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the same military series designation and share all critical performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2102FRE6 and RN60D2102FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts depends on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60D2102FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require standardized tape format.

The RN60D2102FB14 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where tape packaging is not required.

Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status. No performance or reliability differences exist between these substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2102FB14 replace RN60D2102FRE6 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60D2102FRE6 is specified, provided assembly equipment can accommodate Bulk packaging.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly machines. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in trays or bags, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance (21 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D2102FRE6 and RN60D2102FB14 are manufactured under the military RN60 series per MIL-R-10509/1 specification with identical flame retardant coating and moisture-resistant construction.

Q: What is the physical size of these resistors?

A: Both parts have identical axial dimensions: 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm).

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both RN60D2102FRE6 and RN60D2102FB14 are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected.
