Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D8201FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.2 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 type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L
• Series: RN60 (MIL-R-10509/1)
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Moisture Resistant, Safety Rated

The RN60D8201FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical and mechanical specifications. 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 maintain full compliance with military specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D8201FRE6 and RN60D8201FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

The RN60D8201FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation is utilized.

The RN60D8201FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototype development, repair operations, and applications where individual component handling is standard practice.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Both carry ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0090 designations. Selection does not impact compliance or regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D8201FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D8201FRE6?

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 RN60D8201FRE6 is specified, provided the packaging format is compatible with your assembly process.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or hand-loading into feeders. The electrical performance and physical dimensions are identical.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090). Substitution does not affect regulatory or compliance requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for a valid substitution?

A: Resistance value (8.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), axial package type, and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L) must all remain unchanged for substitution validity.

Q: Does inventory availability affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. Inventory levels do not determine substitution eligibility. Both parts maintain active product status. Inventory availability is a supply chain consideration separate from technical substitution criteria.
