RN60D2402FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D2402FRE6 is a 24 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 980 pieces available in tape & reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory requirements necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2402FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 24 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 configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The RN60D2402FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factor. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in tape & reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (RN60) and manufacturing standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2402FRE6 and RN60D2402FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1). Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

• RN60D2402FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. Preferred for high-volume production environments with pick-and-place equipment.

• RN60D2402FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where reel packaging is not required. Bulk packaging may offer cost advantages for non-automated assembly scenarios.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and compliance status. The choice between them is determined by assembly methodology and supply chain logistics, not by electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2402FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2402FRE6 in automated assembly?

A: Electrically and mechanically, yes. However, bulk packaging requires manual feeding or reeling into tape format for automated pick-and-place equipment. Assembly process compatibility depends on your production line capabilities.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are identical in resistance value (24 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D2402FRE6 and RN60D2402FB14 are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 standards and belong to the RN60 military-grade series with identical feature sets.

Q: What is the physical compatibility between these parts?

A: Both parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L / 3.68mm × 8.74mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs and in through-hole applications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two parts.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. For automated production, RN60D2402FRE6 (tape & reel) is standard. For manual assembly or low-volume applications, RN60D2402FB14 (bulk) may be more practical.
