RN60D4870FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D4870FRE6 is a 487 Ohm, 1/4W metal film through-hole resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for military applications per MIL-R-10509/1 specification. This axial component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction. The part is currently active in production with 710 units available in tape and reel packaging. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging availability, inventory requirements, or procurement flexibility while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D4870FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 487 Ohms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical feature set: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between the main part and substitute is packaging format: RN60D4870FRE6 is supplied in tape and reel (TR), while RN60D4870FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D4870FRE6 and RN60D4870FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

• RN60D4870FRE6 is appropriate for automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel packaging
• RN60D4870FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly or bulk procurement scenarios

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military series designation (MIL-R-10509/1). No electrical performance difference exists between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D4870FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D4870FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (bulk versus tape and reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the main part is specified.

Q: What is the difference between tape and reel packaging and bulk packaging?

A: Tape and reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is supplied as loose components suitable for manual assembly or bin storage. The resistor components themselves are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant) and REACH status (Affected). Both are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 military specification.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Resistance value (487 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia x 0.344" L) must remain identical. Packaging format does not affect electrical substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to the same MIL-R-10509/1 specification and carry identical military series designation (RN60). They are functionally equivalent for all military application requirements.
