Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60D5001FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters, all of which match between the main part and substitute:

• Resistance value: 5 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 configuration: Axial Through Hole
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military Grade, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The only difference between these parts is the packaging format: RN60D5001FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN60D5001FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both maintain identical component specifications and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D5001FRE6 and RN60D5001FB14 maintain Active product status and are manufactured to identical military specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

RN60D5001FRE6 (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for automated assembly processes requiring continuous component feed from tape reels. This format optimizes pick-and-place machine compatibility and reduces manual handling.

RN60D5001FB14 (Bulk format) is appropriate for manual assembly operations, prototype builds, or applications where component quantities do not justify automated handling. Bulk packaging provides flexibility for mixed-component procurement.

Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and maintain identical electrical performance across the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C. RoHS non-compliance and REACH Affected status are consistent across both variants and must be evaluated against end-application regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5001FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D5001FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk. Component performance, specifications, and reliability characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these substitute parts?

A: The packaging format differs. RN60D5001FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly, while RN60D5001FB14 is supplied in Bulk format for manual assembly or mixed procurement scenarios. All component specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Military specification compliance (MIL-R-10509/1) is equivalent across both variants.

Q: What assembly process considerations apply when switching between these parts?

A: RN60D5001FRE6 in Tape & Reel format integrates directly with automated pick-and-place equipment. RN60D5001FB14 in Bulk format requires manual component placement or compatibility with bulk-feed assembly systems. PCB design and footprint requirements remain unchanged.

Q: Do these parts have different temperature performance characteristics?

A: No. Both parts operate identically across the -65°C to 175°C temperature range with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Thermal performance and stability are equivalent.

Q: Are inventory levels a consideration for part selection?

A: Inventory availability may influence procurement decisions. RN60D5001FRE6 has 1161 units in stock, while RN60D5001FB14 has 2200 units in stock. Selection should account for project timeline and quantity requirements.
