RN60D7501FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D7501FRE6 is a 7.5 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 maintains Active product status with 1374 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific temperature coefficient requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D7501FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (7.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical
• Physical Parameters: Axial package configuration and dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L) must match
• Material & Construction: Metal film composition with flame retardant coating, military-grade construction, and moisture resistance must be maintained
• Operating Range: Temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) must be supported
• Series Compliance: Parts must belong to the RN60 series (MIL-R-10509/1)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with variations only in packaging format and temperature coefficient specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RN60D7501FB14 (Direct Substitute): This part provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RN60D7501FRE6. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Cut Tape). Selection of this substitute is appropriate when bulk packaging accommodates assembly processes and inventory management requirements. Both parts maintain identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and all electrical specifications. Higher current inventory (1973 units) may support extended lead time requirements.

RN60C7501FRE6 (Upgrade Substitute): This part offers improved temperature stability with a reduced temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C compared to the main part's ±100ppm/°C. Packaging format matches the original (Cut Tape). This substitute is suitable for applications requiring tighter temperature-dependent tolerance performance across the full operating range. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent. Product status is Active with 1919 units in inventory.

Both substitutes maintain RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected designation, and identical compliance certifications (ECCN: EAR99, HTSUS: 8533.21.0090) as the main part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D7501FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D7501FRE6?

A: Yes. RN60D7501FB14 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The difference is packaging format: RN60D7501FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging while RN60D7501FRE6 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). Both parts have identical resistance (7.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and physical dimensions. Substitution is valid when bulk packaging is compatible with your assembly process.

Q: What is the difference between RN60C7501FRE6 and RN60D7501FRE6?

A: The primary difference is temperature coefficient: RN60C7501FRE6 has ±50ppm/°C while RN60D7501FRE6 has ±100ppm/°C. This means RN60C7501FRE6 maintains tighter resistance stability across temperature variations. Packaging format is identical (Cut Tape). All other specifications—resistance value, tolerance, power rating, dimensions, and operating temperature range—are the same.

Q: Are all three parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. All three parts (RN60D7501FRE6, RN60D7501FB14, and RN60C7501FRE6) are manufactured by Vishay Dale and belong to the RN60 military-grade series compliant with MIL-R-10509/1.

Q: Can I mix packaging formats in the same assembly?

A: Packaging format (Cut Tape versus Bulk) affects only the supply and handling method, not the component's electrical or mechanical performance. Both formats contain identical components. Mixing is permissible from a technical standpoint, though assembly process compatibility should be verified with your manufacturing procedures.

Q: Which substitute should I select for temperature-sensitive applications?

A: RN60C7501FRE6 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring superior temperature stability. Its ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient provides half the drift rate of the standard ±100ppm/°C specification, maintaining tighter resistance tolerance across the -65°C to 175°C operating range.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitutes?

A: No. All three parts share identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Regulatory and environmental compliance considerations are equivalent across all substitutes.
