RN60D3651FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D3651FRE6 is a 3.65 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. This component is manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) and features flame retardant coating with moisture resistance suitable for military applications. The part is currently active in production with 699 units available in tape and reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D3651FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Resistance value: 3.65 kOhms
• 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
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only allowable variation between the main part and substitutes is packaging format (tape and reel versus bulk). All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and performance specifications must be identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D3651FRE6 and RN60D3651FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability rather than technical performance.

RN60D3651FRE6 in tape and reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. RN60D3651FB14 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where tape and reel format is not required.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. No compliance advantage exists between the two options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D3651FB14 replace RN60D3651FRE6 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel). Substitution is valid provided the assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging.

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

A: Tape and reel packaging (TR) is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or reel loading. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these substitutes?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, and material composition. Performance is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 standard and belong to the RN60 military series with identical feature sets including flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety classification.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: RN60D3651FRE6 has 699 units available in tape and reel format. RN60D3651FB14 has 1220 units available in bulk format. Inventory levels may influence sourcing decisions based on project timeline and quantity requirements.
