RN60D4022FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D4022FRE6 is a 40.2 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1), this component 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 689 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging availability, inventory requirements, or procurement lead time constraints while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D4022FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 40.2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W/1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series designation: RN60, MIL-R-10509/1 (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RN60D4022FB14 meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical component specifications and are sourced from the same manufacturer.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D4022FRE6 and RN60D4022FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and procurement constraints:

• RN60D4022FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production runs requiring reel-based component feeding.
• RN60D4022FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume builds, or applications where reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Component selection should be based on assembly methodology and inventory management requirements rather than electrical or thermal performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4022FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4022FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided the assembly process accommodates the bulk packaging format.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical resistance value (40.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or applications where reel-based feeding is not available. The component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Are both parts still in active production?

A: Yes. Both RN60D4022FRE6 and RN60D4022FB14 maintain active product status with Vishay Dale.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090) are identical.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in the same assembly?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate both Tape & Reel and Bulk formats. However, mixing formats may introduce handling complexity and is generally avoided in high-volume production environments.
