Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D4701FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (4.7 kOhms), power rating (0.25W), composition (metal film), package type (axial), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and military series compliance (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 base product). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The RN60D4701FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Substitutes are available in alternative packaging configurations (Bulk) while maintaining identical electrical performance and physical dimensions. Tolerance variations are permitted where the substitute tolerance is equal to or tighter than the original specification, as tighter tolerances represent functional upgrades within the same component family.

Two substitute parts are identified:

RN60D4701FB14 — Direct equivalent with identical tolerance (±1%), differing only in packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel).

RN60C4701DB14 — Upgrade substitute with tighter tolerance (±0.5% vs. ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C), supplied in Bulk packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and identical military-grade specifications per MIL-R-10509/1. Selection between RN60D4701FRE6 and RN60D4701FB14 is determined by packaging requirements: Tape & Reel format for automated assembly processes versus Bulk format for manual or alternative handling methods.

RN60C4701DB14 is selected when circuit design specifications require tighter tolerance control (±0.5% vs. ±1%) or improved temperature stability (±50ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C). This upgrade substitute is electrically and mechanically compatible with the original specification while providing enhanced performance characteristics within the same physical envelope and military compliance framework.

All parts share identical RoHS non-compliance and REACH-affected status, requiring equivalent regulatory handling and documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4701FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4701FRE6?

A: Yes. RN60D4701FB14 is electrically and mechanically identical to RN60D4701FRE6, with the only difference being packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not constrain assembly methodology.

Q: What is the difference between RN60D4701FB14 and RN60C4701DB14?

A: Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, and physical dimensions. RN60C4701DB14 provides tighter tolerance (±0.5% vs. ±1%) and improved temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C). Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements and thermal stability specifications.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. All three parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specification and are designated as military-grade components within the RN60 series. They share identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging selection is determined by assembly process requirements and handling procedures, not electrical characteristics.

Q: Can RN60C4701DB14 be used in applications originally specified for RN60D4701FRE6?

A: Yes. RN60C4701DB14 meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of RN60D4701FRE6. The tighter tolerance and improved temperature coefficient represent functional enhancements compatible with the original design.

Q: What is the physical compatibility between these parts?

A: All three parts are identical in physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L) and axial package configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.
