Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2431FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.43 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 configuration: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade classification (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RN60D2431FB14 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The sole difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts originate from the same manufacturer (Vishay Dale) and base product line (RN60), ensuring functional and dimensional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2431FRE6 and RN60D2431FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement and assembly requirements rather than technical performance:

RN60D2431FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed from tape reels, typical in high-volume production environments.

RN60D2431FB14 (Bulk packaging) is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is required.

Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status. Regulatory requirements must be evaluated at the system level independent of component selection between these equivalents.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2431FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2431FRE6 in circuit applications?

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

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The packaging format differs. RN60D2431FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated pick-and-place assembly. RN60D2431FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging for manual handling or alternative assembly methods. Electrical specifications, physical dimensions, and component construction are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Military-grade classification (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 series) applies to both.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-volume automated assembly?

A: RN60D2431FRE6 (Tape & Reel) is optimized for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging (RN60D2431FB14) is not suitable for standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.145" diameter × 0.344" length (3.68mm × 8.74mm) in axial configuration. PCB footprint and mounting requirements are identical.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: RN60D2431FRE6 (Tape & Reel) has 859 units in stock. RN60D2431FB14 (Bulk) has 1186 units in stock. Both are active products available for immediate procurement.
