Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2151FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.15 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 classification: RN60 military-grade
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)

The RN60D2151FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The distinction between these parts lies exclusively in packaging format: the primary part (RN60D2151FRE6) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute (RN60D2151FB14) is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts maintain identical component characteristics and performance parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D2151FRE6 and RN60D2151FB14 maintain active product status from Vishay Dale and are functionally equivalent for circuit applications requiring 2.15 kOhms ±1% metal film resistors with military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and assembly requirements rather than electrical performance.

The RN60D2151FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require standardized reel formats. The RN60D2151FB14 (Bulk packaging) is appropriate for manual assembly, low-volume applications, or situations where reel-based handling is not required.

Both parts carry identical compliance designations: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Military-grade certification (MIL-R-10509/1) and flame retardant coating with moisture resistance are maintained across both variants, ensuring suitability for safety-critical and military applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2151FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2151FRE6 in circuit design?
