Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2742FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 27.4 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: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety (exact match required)

The only allowable variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and military-grade construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D2742FRE6 and RN60D2742FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements:

• RN60D2742FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RN60D2742FB14 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance requirements for specific applications must be evaluated independently. No electrical performance difference exists between these parts; substitution is valid for any application requiring a 27.4 kOhms ±1% metal film axial resistor rated at 0.25W with military-grade construction per MIL-R-10509/1.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2742FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2742FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any circuit application.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging consists of loose components suitable for manual assembly or kit distribution. Electrical performance is identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance evaluation must be performed based on application requirements.

Q: Can these resistors be used interchangeably in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specification and carry military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance. Substitution does not affect military qualification status.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the RN60D2742FRE6?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence in resistance value (27.4 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 series compliance (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60). Packaging format variation is the only allowable difference.
