RN60D2401FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D2401FRE6 is a 2.4 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 941 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling procurement flexibility across different supply channels and inventory conditions.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60D2401FRE6 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.4 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications. Both parts maintain identical component specifications and military-grade construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D2401FRE6 and RN60D2401FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply requirements rather than functional performance.

The RN60D2401FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D2401FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where component quantities do not justify reel-based procurement.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Neither part carries Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) designation. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0090.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2401FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2401FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, reliability, and environmental specifications are equivalent.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and is standard for high-volume manufacturing. Bulk packaging consists of loose components suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090).

Q: Which part should be selected for military applications?

A: Both parts are qualified under the MIL-R-10509/1 standard and are suitable for military applications. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and packaging logistics.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in part selection?

A: Inventory levels may influence procurement decisions. The RN60D2401FB14 currently has higher stock availability (1643 Pcs) compared to the RN60D2401FRE6 (941 Pcs), which may affect lead times and supply chain planning.
