Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5101FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.1 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package case: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The identified substitute part RN60D5101FB14 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical specifications and military series classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D5101FRE6 and RN60D5101FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

RN60D5101FB14 is appropriate for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where bulk packaging is acceptable. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and maintain equivalent performance across all operating conditions. RoHS non-compliance status is identical for both parts. REACH and ECCN classifications are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5101FB14 replace RN60D5101FRE6 in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Circuit performance, tolerance, temperature characteristics, and power rating are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in containers suitable for manual assembly or hand-soldering applications. Electrical specifications remain unchanged.

Q: Are both parts military-grade components?

A: Yes. Both RN60D5101FRE6 and RN60D5101FB14 are classified as military-grade resistors under the RN60 series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. Both feature flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these parts?

A: Substitution is valid when resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, package case, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and physical dimensions are identical. Packaging format and inventory levels do not affect electrical substitution eligibility.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090).
