RN60D6802FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D6802FRE6 is a 68 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 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 eligibility for the RN60D6802FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RN60D6802FB14 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 68 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical package configuration: Axial
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical series designation: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical feature set: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not alter component performance or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D6802FRE6 and RN60D6802FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military-grade specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement constraints:

The RN60D6802FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation are utilized.

The RN60D6802FB14 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where tape-and-reel handling infrastructure is not available.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Component selection should account for end-application regulatory requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D6802FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D6802FRE6?

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 main part is specified, provided the packaging format is compatible with assembly processes.

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, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging supplies loose components in quantities suitable for manual handling and assembly. Both formats contain identical components with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the substitute part and the main part?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical characteristics, temperature performance, tolerance, power rating, and physical dimensions. Performance in circuit operation is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts meet the same military and safety standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to the same MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and carry identical feature designations including flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety rating.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Compliance status is identical between the main part and substitute.
