RN60D68R1FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D68R1FRE6 is a 68.1 Ohm ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.25W (1/4W) in axial package configuration. This component is manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1) and features flame retardant coating with moisture-resistant properties suitable for military and safety-critical applications. The part maintains active product status with 850 units currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the same resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package type, with consideration for packaging format differences.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D68R1FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 68.1 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package configuration: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Series classification: RN60 military-grade

The identified substitute part RN60D68R1FB14 maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (RN60) and military series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D68R1FRE6 and RN60D68R1FB14 are active products from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

• RN60D68R1FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments requiring reel-based component feeding.
• RN60D68R1FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred.

Both parts maintain equivalent compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military-grade specifications. No electrical or thermal performance differences exist between the two part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D68R1FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D68R1FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Electrical performance, tolerance, power rating, temperature range, and physical dimensions are equivalent.

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

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

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), and military series designation (MIL-R-10509/1, RN60).

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for the RN60D68R1FRE6?

A: Substitution is valid when the alternative part maintains: 68.1 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, metal film composition, axial package configuration, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -65°C to 175°C operating range, and RN60 series classification.

Q: Can I substitute with a different resistance value or tolerance?

A: No. Resistance value and tolerance are critical electrical parameters. Substitution is limited to parts with identical 68.1 Ohm ±1% specifications.
