Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D3003FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 300 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 identified substitute part RN60D3003FB14 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The distinction between the main part and substitute lies exclusively in packaging format: the RN60D3003FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the RN60D3003FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical component specifications, manufacturing standards, and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D3003FRE6 and RN60D3003FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale to identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60D3003FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require reel-based formats.

The RN60D3003FB14 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Component selection does not alter regulatory or compliance considerations. Inventory availability shows 1117 units for RN60D3003FRE6 (TR) and 1209 units for RN60D3003FB14 (Bulk), allowing selection based on supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3003FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3003FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. If your assembly process accommodates bulk component handling, RN60D3003FB14 provides direct functional equivalence.

Q: What determines whether these parts are interchangeable?

A: Interchangeability is confirmed by matching all critical parameters: 300 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 175°C operating range, axial package configuration, and MIL-R-10509/1 series compliance. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging differences relate only to supply, handling, and assembly process compatibility, not to electrical characteristics or reliability.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS and REACH status. Regulatory compliance considerations remain unchanged regardless of which part number is selected.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. Choose RN60D3003FRE6 (Tape & Reel) for automated pick-and-place assembly. Choose RN60D3003FB14 (Bulk) for manual assembly or when reel-based feeding is not available.
