Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60C3012FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN60D3012FBSL based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 30.1 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical series classification: RN60, MIL-R-10509/1
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The substitute part differs only in temperature coefficient specification (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), which represents an improvement in thermal stability while maintaining all functional and mechanical compatibility requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D3012FBSL and RN60C3012FB14 maintain active product status and are manufactured by Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN60 series. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and inventory availability. The RN60C3012FB14 provides improved temperature coefficient performance (±50ppm/°C) compared to the RN60D3012FBSL (±100ppm/°C), making it suitable for applications requiring tighter thermal stability. Both parts comply with identical regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0090) and maintain equivalent mechanical and electrical compatibility for through-hole axial mounting applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60C3012FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3012FBSL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (30.1 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L). The RN60C3012FB14 features improved temperature coefficient stability (±50ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C).

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts are identical in physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L / 3.68mm x 8.74mm) and use the same axial package configuration with two terminations, ensuring direct mechanical compatibility in through-hole PCB applications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and certification requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Both are certified to MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and feature identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certifications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RN60C3012FB14 provides superior temperature coefficient performance at ±50ppm/°C compared to the RN60D3012FBSL at ±100ppm/°C. This difference is relevant only in applications where thermal drift of resistance values is a critical design parameter.

Q: Are inventory levels a consideration for part selection?

A: Current inventory shows 1028 units of RN60D3012FBSL and 853 units of RN60C3012FB14 in stock. Selection may be influenced by project lead time requirements and supply chain availability.
