RN60D5600FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D5600FRE6 is a 560 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 924 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60D5600FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differentiator between the main part and its substitute is packaging format. Both the main part (RN60D5600FRE6) and the substitute part (RN60D5600FB14) share identical electrical specifications: 560 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, and military-grade MIL-R-10509/1 series classification. The key parameters that must remain constant for substitution are:

• Resistance value and tolerance
• Power rating and composition
• Temperature coefficient and operating range
• Military series designation and safety features
• Physical dimensions and termination count

The RN60D5600FB14 differs only in packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel), making it a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent suitable for applications where packaging configuration is not a constraint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D5600FRE6 and RN60D5600FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement workflow. The RN60D5600FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D5600FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where tape-and-reel handling is not required. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification, consistent with military-grade component standards. Inventory availability shows 2649 units of the substitute part in stock compared to 924 units of the main part, providing flexibility in procurement planning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5600FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D5600FRE6 in production assembly?

A: Yes, provided the assembly process can accommodate Bulk packaging format. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Automated pick-and-place equipment typically requires Tape & Reel format, while manual assembly can use either format.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance value (560 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly methodology. Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for automated assembly lines, while Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or lower-volume applications. The physical component dimensions and electrical performance remain unchanged.

Q: Are both parts compliant with military standards?

A: Both parts are manufactured to MIL-R-10509/1 specifications and feature military-grade construction with flame retardant coating and moisture resistance. Both maintain the same RoHS and REACH compliance status.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements. For automated assembly, specify RN60D5600FRE6 (Tape & Reel). For manual assembly or prototyping, either part is suitable based on availability and procurement convenience.
