RN60D6001FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D6001FRE6 is a 6 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 956 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the RN60D6001FRE6 is based on strict equivalence of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 6 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 configuration: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Termination count: 2
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the RN60D6001FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute RN60D6001FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D6001FRE6 and RN60D6001FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements:

The RN60D6001FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D6001FB14 in Bulk format is appropriate for manual assembly, low-volume applications, or situations where tape and reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain compliance with military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1) and share identical RoHS and REACH status. No electrical performance difference exists between the two variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D6001FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D6001FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60D6001FRE6 is specified, provided the assembly process can accommodate Bulk packaging.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape within a reel, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging supplies loose components, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

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

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance (6 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN60D6001FRE6 and RN60D6001FB14 comply with MIL-R-10509/1 and are part of the military-grade RN60 series.

Q: What is the physical compatibility between these parts?

A: Both parts have identical axial package dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L / 3.68mm × 8.74mm) and two terminations. They are physically interchangeable on PCBs designed for axial through-hole resistors.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Regulatory compliance is equivalent between the two variants.
