Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D40R2FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 40.2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package configuration: 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: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)

The identified substitute part differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in circuit applications. All other specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D40R2FRE6 and RN60D40R2FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60D40R2FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D40R2FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where component quantities do not justify reel procurement. Both parts maintain equivalent performance in circuit applications due to identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature characteristics, and physical dimensions. Compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) is consistent across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D40R2FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D40R2FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, reliability, and specifications remain unchanged.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment and is standard for high-volume manufacturing. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity applications. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L), lead spacing, and electrical characteristics. They are interchangeable at the circuit level.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as Military grade, comply with MIL-R-10509/1, and feature identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety construction.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: RN60D40R2FRE6 has 808 units in stock (Tape & Reel format). RN60D40R2FB14 has 1193 units in stock (Bulk format). Selection should align with assembly method and procurement timeline requirements.
