RN60D5621FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D5621FRE6 is a 5.62 kOhms ±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 686 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D5621FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.62 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The only allowable variation is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk), which does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All other parameters must remain identical for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D5621FRE6 and RN60D5621FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging requirements:

• RN60D5621FRE6: Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes
• RN60D5621FB14: Bulk packaging suitable for manual assembly or alternative handling methods

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Component selection should be based on assembly methodology and supply chain logistics rather than electrical performance, as all functional parameters are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D5621FB14 replace RN60D5621FRE6 in production?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid provided the assembly process accommodates the bulk packaging format.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute for RN60D5621FRE6?

A: Valid substitutes must match all electrical parameters (5.62 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range), composition (Metal Film), package type (Axial), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), and series classification (RN60, MIL-R-10509/1). Packaging format variation is the only allowable difference.

Q: Are there compliance differences between RN60D5621FRE6 and RN60D5621FB14?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across both part numbers.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging differences affect only handling, storage, and assembly methodology, not electrical or thermal characteristics.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: RN60D5621FRE6 (Tape & Reel) has 686 units in stock. RN60D5621FB14 (Bulk) has 769 units in stock. Both are available as new original components.
