Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RN60D4642FRE6 are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 46.4 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN60D4642FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains identical electrical specifications, composition, temperature characteristics, and physical dimensions. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect component performance or circuit functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D4642FRE6 and RN60D4642FB14 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 supply chain considerations:

The RN60D4642FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D4642FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, repair operations, and applications where component quantities do not justify reel procurement.

Both parts maintain compliance with military specification MIL-R-10509/1 and carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Component selection should account for procurement lead times, inventory availability, and assembly methodology rather than electrical performance, as both parts deliver identical circuit functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4642FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4642FRE6?

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 packaging (TR) 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, repair work, and lower-volume applications. Both formats contain the same component.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Compliance status is unchanged regardless of packaging format.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on manufacturing process. For automated assembly lines, specify RN60D4642FRE6 (Tape & Reel). For manual assembly or prototyping, RN60D4642FB14 (Bulk) is appropriate. Both parts meet identical performance requirements.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. RN60D4642FRE6 has 935 units in stock, and RN60D4642FB14 has 853 units in stock. Both maintain active production status.
