RN60D51R1FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D51R1FRE6 is a 51.1 Ohm ±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 (MIL-R-10509/1), 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 1167 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, supply chain considerations, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RN60D51R1FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 51.1 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W/1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 (exact match required)

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the RN60D51R1FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute RN60D51R1FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, mechanical construction, and military specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D51R1FRE6 and RN60D51R1FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications, mechanical construction, and military compliance. Selection between these parts is based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

• RN60D51R1FRE6 (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring component feeding through pick-and-place equipment.
• RN60D51R1FB14 (Bulk format) is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, repair operations, or applications where tape-and-reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, and identical compliance certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.21.0090). Electrical performance, reliability, and operating characteristics are functionally equivalent across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D51R1FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D51R1FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60D51R1FRE6 is specified, provided the packaging format is compatible with your assembly process.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous carrier tape wound on a reel, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in a container, suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity applications. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical compliance designations: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1) and all performance characteristics are equivalent.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to the same military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 series) with identical electrical performance, temperature ratings, and reliability features. Substitution is valid for military and high-reliability applications.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the RN60D51R1FRE6?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence across resistance value (51.1 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), package type (Axial), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), and series compliance (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60). Packaging format differences do not affect substitution validity.
