Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D2941FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.94 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade classification (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RN60D2941FB14 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical component specifications and are manufactured by Vishay Dale under the same military series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D2941FRE6 and RN60D2941FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications and military-grade classification under MIL-R-10509/1. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

The RN60D2941FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation is utilized.

The RN60D2941FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly operations, prototype development, or applications where tape-and-reel handling infrastructure is not available.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0090) designations. No electrical performance differentiation exists between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D2941FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D2941FRE6?

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

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The RN60D2941FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging for automated assembly lines. The RN60D2941FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging for manual assembly or component-level applications. All component specifications remain identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090). Both maintain active product status from Vishay Dale.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution eligibility?

A: Resistance value (2.94 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), axial package configuration, and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L) must all remain unchanged for valid substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified under the military RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) and feature flame retardant coating with moisture-resistant properties suitable for military-grade applications.
