RN60D6201FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D6201FRE6 is a 6.2 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is part of the military-grade RN60 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. The part features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. With active product status and 754 units in stock, substitute parts may be required for packaging format flexibility or inventory optimization while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN60D6201FRE6 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 RN60D6201FRE6 (Tape & Reel) and RN60D6201FB14 (Bulk) share identical specifications for resistance value, tolerance, power rating, composition, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, physical dimensions, and military series designation. The substitution is valid because the core component characteristics—electrical performance, reliability features, and mechanical form factor—remain unchanged. Packaging format alone does not affect component functionality or circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D6201FRE6 and RN60D6201FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on procurement and assembly requirements. The RN60D6201FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D6201FB14 in Bulk format is appropriate for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where tape packaging is not required. Both parts maintain full compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications and are RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status. No functional or performance differences exist between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D6201FB14 (Bulk) be used as a direct replacement for RN60D6201FRE6 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60D6201FRE6 is specified, provided assembly equipment can accommodate bulk component handling.

Q: Are there any performance differences between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical performance, tolerance, temperature characteristics, and reliability features are identical between both formats.

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for the RN60D6201FRE6?

A: Substitution is valid when all electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient), mechanical parameters (package type, dimensions, terminations), and material composition (metal film) match exactly. Series designation and military compliance must also be maintained.

Q: Is the RN60D6201FB14 suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. The RN60D6201FB14 is part of the same military RN60 series and complies with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. Packaging format does not affect military qualification or reliability ratings.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both the RN60D6201FRE6 and RN60D6201FB14 operate across -65°C to 175°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C.
