Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2400FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (240 Ohms), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military series classification (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60). All substitute parts must maintain identical resistance, power rating, physical dimensions, and temperature operating range. Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable engineering margins. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but impacts procurement and assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RN60D2400FB14 serves as a direct electrical equivalent to RN60D2400FRE6, maintaining identical tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and all critical electrical parameters. The primary distinction is packaging format: RN60D2400FB14 is supplied in bulk configuration rather than tape and reel. Both parts are active products with full military compliance and RoHS non-compliant status consistent with military-grade specifications.

RN60C2400DB14 functions as an upgrade substitute, offering improved tolerance (±0.5% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C). This part maintains all other electrical and mechanical specifications, including resistance value, power rating, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. Selection of RN60C2400DB14 is appropriate when circuit design requires tighter tolerance control or enhanced temperature stability. All three parts carry identical RoHS and REACH compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2400FB14 replace RN60D2400FRE6 in production assemblies?

A: Yes. RN60D2400FB14 is electrically and mechanically identical to RN60D2400FRE6. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel). Assembly process compatibility depends on whether your production line accommodates bulk component feeding.

Q: What is the advantage of using RN60C2400DB14 instead of the original part?

A: RN60C2400DB14 provides tighter tolerance (±0.5% versus ±1%) and superior temperature stability (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C). Use this upgrade when circuit performance requires reduced resistance variation across temperature extremes or tighter initial value control.

Q: Are all three parts military-qualified?

A: Yes. All parts conform to MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and carry military series designation. All three maintain identical operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) and feature flame retardant coating with moisture resistance.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape and reel (RN60D2400FRE6) and bulk (RN60D2400FB14, RN60C2400DB14) packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging selection impacts procurement logistics and assembly automation compatibility only.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: RN60D2400FB14 provides direct substitution with no design changes required. RN60C2400DB14 can be substituted when improved tolerance and temperature coefficient are acceptable or beneficial to circuit performance. Physical dimensions and mounting remain unchanged across all three parts.
