Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D2550FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 255 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: RN60D2550FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D2550FB14 is supplied in Bulk format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2550FRE6 and RN60D2550FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• RN60D2550FRE6 is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel packaging
• RN60D2550FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. No electrical performance difference exists between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2550FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2550FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided the receiving application can accommodate the bulk packaging format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance (255 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: RN60D2550FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is designed for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. RN60D2550FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. The component itself is identical.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and feature identical military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status.
