Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60D2213FRE6 is permissible based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 221 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Allowable Variation:

• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility
• Temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable limits for the application

The RN60C2213FRE6 qualifies as a direct substitute, maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical specifications while differing only in packaging format and temperature coefficient specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D2213FRE6 and RN60C2213FRE6 maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Packaging Format Considerations: The primary difference is packaging format. The RN60D2213FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The RN60C2213FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape format, appropriate for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Temperature Coefficient: The RN60C2213FRE6 offers superior temperature stability with ±50ppm/°C compared to ±100ppm/°C for the RN60D2213FRE6. This enhanced specification may be advantageous in precision applications requiring tighter frequency or impedance stability across the operating temperature range.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain identical military-grade specifications, RoHS non-compliance status, and REACH compliance status. No compliance-related restrictions apply to substitution.

Inventory and Availability: The RN60C2213FRE6 currently has higher inventory availability (7521 units) compared to the RN60D2213FRE6 (674 units), making it a viable alternative for supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RN60C2213FRE6 be used as a direct replacement for the RN60D2213FRE6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, differing only in packaging format and temperature coefficient. No circuit modifications or re-qualification are required for substitution.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for high-speed automated assembly equipment. Cut Tape packaging supplies the same components on shorter tape segments, suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or component kitting. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Does the improved temperature coefficient of the RN60C2213FRE6 affect circuit performance?

A: The ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient of the RN60C2213FRE6 provides superior stability compared to ±100ppm/°C. In applications where resistance drift across the -65°C to 175°C operating range is critical, the RN60C2213FRE6 offers enhanced performance. For most general-purpose applications, both specifications are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical military-grade MIL-R-10509/1 compliance, RoHS non-compliance status, and REACH compliance status. Substitution does not affect regulatory or certification requirements.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly without impact on form, fit, or function.
