RN60D2702FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D2702FRE6 is a 27 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 per MIL-R-10509/1 specification, this component features flame retardant coating and moisture-resistant construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 1133 units available in tape & reel packaging. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2702FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitution criterion is packaging format. The RN60D2702FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 27 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, axial package configuration, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 175°C operating range, and MIL-R-10509/1 military series compliance. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel), which does not affect component performance or electrical characteristics. Both parts share the same base product number (RN60) and manufacturing standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D2702FRE6 and RN60D2702FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics. The RN60D2702FRE6 in tape & reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D2702FB14 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where reel packaging is not required. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH affected classification. Component selection should confirm compatibility with existing assembly equipment and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2702FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2702FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60D2702FRE6 is specified, provided assembly equipment can accommodate bulk packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly systems used in high-volume manufacturing. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or lower-volume applications. The resistor component itself is identical in both formats.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical military series designation (MIL-R-10509/1), RoHS status, REACH classification, and all other compliance parameters. They are fully equivalent from a regulatory and certification standpoint.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for a valid substitution?

A: Resistance value (27 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military series compliance (RN60/MIL-R-10509/1) must all remain unchanged for substitution validity.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Since electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, mixing tape & reel and bulk packaged units in the same assembly presents no technical issues. Assembly process compatibility should be confirmed with manufacturing equipment specifications.
