Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5362FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 53.6 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 configuration: Axial through-hole (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade classification (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RN60D5362FB14 meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share identical component specifications, military classification, and performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D5362FRE6 and RN60D5362FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications and military-grade classification. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements and supply availability:

• RN60D5362FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. Current inventory: 776 units.
• RN60D5362FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where reel packaging is not required. Current inventory: 1055 units.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status with identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff coding (8533.21.0090). Component selection should be based on assembly methodology and packaging format compatibility rather than electrical performance, as both parts deliver equivalent functional characteristics across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5362FB14 (Bulk) be used as a direct replacement for RN60D5362FRE6 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance value (53.6 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L). The only difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid provided the assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for RN60D5362FRE6?

A: Substitution eligibility is strictly based on matching all electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical parameters (package type, physical dimensions, termination count, composition). The RN60 military series classification and MIL-R-10509/1 compliance are also required equivalence criteria.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification 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). Compliance and regulatory status are equivalent.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical performance or reliability. The difference is purely in handling, storage, and assembly methodology. Tape & Reel is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly, while Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance for this resistor?

A: The ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient indicates the resistor's resistance change per degree Celsius within the operating range of -65°C to 175°C. Both the main part and substitute maintain identical temperature stability characteristics, ensuring equivalent performance across the full operating temperature range.
