Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D3240FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN60D3240FRE6 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 324 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• Identical number of terminations: 2

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: RN60D3240FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D3240FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (RN60) and are manufactured by Vishay Dale.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D3240FRE6 and RN60D3240FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

• RN60D3240FRE6 (Tape & Reel) is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where tape-and-reel packaging provides handling efficiency.
• RN60D3240FB14 (Bulk) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both are rated for military applications per MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and operate across the full temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3240FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3240FRE6?

A: Yes. The RN60D3240FB14 is electrically and mechanically identical to the RN60D3240FRE6. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Both parts have identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on a continuous tape within a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components, typically in bags or trays, suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. The electrical and mechanical properties of the component itself are unchanged.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D3240FRE6 and RN60D3240FB14 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: What is the operating temperature range for these resistors?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: No. Both RN60D3240FRE6 and RN60D3240FB14 are RoHS non-compliant. Both are REACH Affected.
