RN60D2211FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D2211FRE6 is a 2.21 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 719 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, inventory constraints, or specific temperature coefficient requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2211FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.21 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)

Substitute parts identified below maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) and temperature coefficient do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2211FB14 and RN60C2211FB14 are functionally equivalent to the RN60D2211FRE6 for circuit applications requiring the specified 2.21 kOhms ±1% resistance at 0.25W power rating.

RN60D2211FB14 provides direct electrical equivalence with identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). This part is suitable for applications where the original Tape & Reel packaging is not required and bulk packaging is acceptable. Both parts maintain active production status and military-grade MIL-R-10509/1 compliance.

RN60C2211FB14 offers improved temperature stability with a tighter temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C while maintaining all other electrical specifications and military compliance. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced temperature coefficient performance within the same resistance, tolerance, and power rating envelope.

All three parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected status, reflecting their military-grade classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2211FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2211FRE6?

A: Yes. RN60D2211FB14 maintains identical electrical parameters (2.21 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C) and physical dimensions. The difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. Circuit performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between RN60D2211FB14 and RN60C2211FB14?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with one exception: temperature coefficient. RN60D2211FB14 has ±100ppm/°C, while RN60C2211FB14 has ±50ppm/°C. The tighter temperature coefficient of RN60C2211FB14 provides improved stability across the -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel (TR) and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes, not circuit functionality.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, within the specified operating range of -65°C to 175°C. RN60C2211FB14 offers superior temperature stability due to its ±50ppm/°C coefficient compared to ±100ppm/°C for the other variants.

Q: What is the physical footprint compatibility?

A: All three parts share identical axial package dimensions of 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts and breadboard applications.
