Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5601FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The only variable parameter permitting substitution is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk). All electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and performance specifications must remain unchanged.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D5601FRE6 and RN60D5601FB14 maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging and supply chain requirements:

• RN60D5601FRE6 (Cut Tape): Suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel format
• RN60D5601FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred

Both parts are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series. Both carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Inventory availability differs: 813 units for the Cut Tape variant and 1331 units for the Bulk variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5601FB14 replace RN60D5601FRE6 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape). Functional performance in the circuit is unchanged.

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

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on adhesive tape suitable for automated assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in standard quantities. Both formats contain identical components with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Compliance status is unchanged between packaging formats.

Q: Which part should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. Use RN60D5601FRE6 (Cut Tape) for automated assembly lines. Use RN60D5601FB14 (Bulk) for manual assembly or when bulk format is preferred. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. RN60D5601FRE6 has 813 units in stock. RN60D5601FB14 has 1331 units in stock. Both maintain active product status.
