Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RN60D4531FRE6 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 4.53 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 compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The RN60D4531FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D4531FRE6 and RN60D4531FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:
