Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5112FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 51.1 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W, 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package/Case: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm) (exact match required)

The only permissible variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D5112FRE6 and RN60D5112FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications, military-grade construction, and compliance profiles. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply chain considerations rather than technical performance.

The RN60D5112FRE6 in Tape & Reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D5112FB14 in Bulk packaging accommodates manual assembly, repair operations, and lower-volume applications.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Component selection must account for end-application regulatory requirements and customer compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5112FB14 replace RN60D5112FRE6 in production assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The RN60D5112FB14 differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Compatibility depends on assembly equipment capability. Automated pick-and-place systems typically require Tape & Reel format, while manual assembly accepts Bulk packaging.

Q: Are there differences in reliability or performance between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are manufactured to identical specifications within the RN60 military series, feature identical metal film composition, temperature coefficients, and operating ranges. Performance and reliability characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of packaging format in component selection?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly methodology but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for automated assembly lines. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, field repair, and applications with lower throughput requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both RN60D5112FRE6 and RN60D5112FB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specification and feature identical military-grade construction, flame retardant coating, and moisture resistance characteristics.

Q: Are there inventory or lead-time considerations between these parts?

A: Current inventory levels differ: RN60D5112FRE6 has 918 units in stock, while RN60D5112FB14 has 756 units. Lead times and availability may vary based on supply chain conditions and production schedules.
