RN60D4322FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D4322FRE6 is a 43.2 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 per MIL-R-10509/1 specification, this component features flame retardant coating and moisture-resistant construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 916 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60D4322FRE6 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute RN60D4322FB14 maintains identical specifications in resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions. The substitution relationship is determined by the following key parameters that must remain constant:

• Resistance: 43.2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W (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 Compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)

The only permissible variation between the main part and substitute is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in the application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D4322FRE6 and RN60D4322FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

RN60D4322FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require reel-based packaging.

RN60D4322FB14 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where reel packaging is not required. This variant currently maintains higher inventory availability at 1142 units.

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and maintain identical performance characteristics across all electrical parameters, temperature ranges, and physical dimensions. Selection does not impact circuit performance or reliability when substituting between these two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4322FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4322FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is permissible in any application where the original part is specified.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape and reel for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in trays or bags for manual handling. Both formats contain identical components with no performance difference.

Q: Are both parts compliant with MIL-R-10509/1?

A: Yes. Both RN60D4322FRE6 and RN60D4322FB14 are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and carry identical military-grade certifications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Identical physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L) and axial package configuration ensure mechanical compatibility. Electrical specifications are identical, permitting direct substitution in any circuit application.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance?

A: The ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistance value will change by a maximum of 100 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. Both substitute parts maintain this identical specification across the -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application, alternative components outside this military RN60 series must be specified.
