RN60D5102FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D5102FRE6 is a 51 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series per MIL-R-10509/1 specification, this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 726 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5102FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 51 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
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only allowable variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All substitute parts must maintain identical electrical specifications and physical form factor to ensure direct interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D5102FRE6 and RN60D5102FB14 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 procurement logistics:

• RN60D5102FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring reel-based component feeding.
• RN60D5102FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where individual component handling is preferred.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5102FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D5102FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Direct substitution is permissible in any circuit application.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual handling or alternative assembly methods. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and military series designation (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60). Regulatory and compliance profiles are equivalent.

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

A: Yes. Both parts meet military specification MIL-R-10509/1 and are rated for the same operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) with identical electrical characteristics. They are fully interchangeable in military-grade circuit designs.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these parts?

A: RN60D5102FRE6 has 726 units in stock (Tape & Reel format). RN60D5102FB14 has 1654 units in stock (Bulk format). Selection may depend on immediate availability and procurement timeline requirements.
