RN60D3003FR36 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D3003FR36 is a 300 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is part of the military-grade RN60 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. The part features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. As an active product with 889 units in stock, substitute parts may be required due to packaging format preferences, inventory availability, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D3003FR36 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for direct substitution:

• Resistance value: 300 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN60D3003FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter equivalence. The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and military-grade construction.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D3003FR36 and RN60D3003FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement workflow:

The RN60D3003FR36 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require standardized reel packaging.

The RN60D3003FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, repair operations, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

Both parts maintain full compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3003FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3003FR36?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. Substitution is valid for any application where the packaging format does not impose constraints on assembly or handling procedures.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the Tape & Reel and Bulk versions?

A: No. The resistor components themselves are identical. Electrical specifications, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions are equivalent across both packaging formats.

Q: What determines whether these parts can be substituted?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain identical: resistance value (300 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). Both parts meet all these criteria.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D3003FR36 and RN60D3003FB14 are part of the military-grade RN60 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: Which packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Select Tape & Reel (RN60D3003FR36) for automated assembly lines and high-volume production. Select Bulk (RN60D3003FB14) for manual assembly, prototyping, repair work, or low-volume applications where individual component handling is more practical.
