RN60D3002FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D3002FRE6 is a 30 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, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part maintains active product status with 841 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required but alternative packaging or inventory conditions necessitate component interchange.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D3002FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 30 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 compliance: MIL-R-10509/1 RN60 (exact match required)

The RN60D3002FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and military series classification. The only variance is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect component functionality or performance in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D3002FRE6 and RN60D3002FB14 maintain active product status and are manufactured to identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the MIL-R-10509/1 military standard. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than functional performance:

• RN60D3002FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RN60D3002FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, and applications where tape-and-reel format is not required.

Both components satisfy identical compliance requirements (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0090) and are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs without modification to PCB layout, schematic, or assembly procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3002FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3002FRE6 in production assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). If your assembly process accommodates bulk packaging, RN60D3002FB14 is a valid substitute.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value (30 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in quantities suitable for manual handling or kit assembly. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D3002FRE6 and RN60D3002FB14 are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification and classified as military-grade components with flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Can I mix these part numbers in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats. The finished circuit boards will be electrically and mechanically identical regardless of which packaging format was used during assembly.
