Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with the substitution difference limited to packaging configuration only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D4320FRE6 and RN60D4320FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

RN60D4320FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Select this variant for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel packaging. This format is optimized for pick-and-place equipment and high-volume production environments.

RN60D4320FB14 (Bulk): Select this variant for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable. This format provides flexibility for lower-volume or mixed-component applications.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99) and are suitable for military-grade applications requiring MIL-R-10509/1 specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4320FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4320FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). If your assembly process accommodates bulk packaging, the RN60D4320FB14 is a direct functional substitute.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The packaging configuration. RN60D4320FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format for automated assembly. RN60D4320FB14 is supplied in Bulk format for manual assembly or mixed-component applications. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and ECCN classification (EAR99). Both conform to MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications.

Q: Which part should I select for high-volume automated assembly?

A: The RN60D4320FRE6 (Tape & Reel) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Which part should I select for prototyping or low-volume applications?

A: The RN60D4320FB14 (Bulk) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, and applications where bulk packaging is acceptable.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical axial dimensions of 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm) and will fit the same PCB footprints and through-hole layouts.
