Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN60D3480FRE6 are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 348 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the RN60D3480FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the RN60D3480FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical, with the same base product number (RN60) and identical electrical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D3480FRE6 and RN60D3480FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements:

• RN60D3480FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring component feeding from tape reels.
• RN60D3480FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred.

Both parts maintain compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and share identical RoHS and REACH compliance status. Component selection should be based on procurement logistics, assembly methodology, and inventory management requirements rather than electrical performance, as both parts are functionally equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3480FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D3480FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with the same resistance value (348 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), and operating specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on a continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are these parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety characteristics required for military and aerospace applications.

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 there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What inventory levels are available?

A: RN60D3480FRE6 (Tape & Reel) has 764 units in stock. RN60D3480FB14 (Bulk) has 924 units in stock.
