RN60D3011FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D3011FRE6 is a 3.01 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. This component is manufactured by Vishay Dale and complies with military specification MIL-R-10509/1. The resistor features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 1022 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the same resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package type while meeting or exceeding the original specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D3011FRE6 is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value must be 3.01 kOhms
• Tolerance must be ±1% or tighter
• Power rating must be 0.25W (1/4W) or higher
• Package must be axial configuration
• Composition must be metal film
• Operating temperature range must encompass -65°C to 175°C
• Military specification compliance (MIL-R-10509/1) must be maintained
• Features must include flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety rating

The RN60C3011FB14 meets all substitution criteria as a member of the same RN60 military resistor series with identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D3011FRE6 and RN60C3011FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale's military-grade RN60 resistor series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

RN60D3011FRE6 is specified when tape and reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes. This packaging format is standard for high-volume production environments.

RN60C3011FB14 is specified when bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred. This substitute offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), which may provide enhanced stability in temperature-sensitive applications while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification, feature identical physical dimensions, and operate across the full -65°C to 175°C temperature range. Neither part is RoHS compliant, consistent with military-grade component requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3011FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3011FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (3.01 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (axial), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L). The primary difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape & reel) and temperature coefficient specification.

Q: What is the difference between tape & reel and bulk packaging?

A: Tape & reel packaging (RN60D3011FRE6) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging (RN60C3011FB14) consists of loose components suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. The RN60C3011FB14 temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C is superior to the RN60D3011FRE6 specification of ±100ppm/°C. This represents an improvement in thermal stability and does not restrict substitution.

Q: Are both parts military-qualified?

A: Yes. Both the RN60D3011FRE6 and RN60C3011FB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these resistors?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C, suitable for military and aerospace applications requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both the RN60D3011FRE6 and RN60C3011FB14 are RoHS non-compliant, which is typical for military-grade components manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specification.
