RN60D8203FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D8203FRE6 is a 820 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, this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certification suitable for military applications. The part is currently active in production with 689 pieces available in tape and reel packaging. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D8203FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 820 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Package type: Axial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: RN60 military series, MIL-R-10509/1

The primary difference between the main part and its substitute is packaging format. The RN60D8203FRE6 is supplied in tape and reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute part RN60D8203FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging. All electrical characteristics, mechanical specifications, and compliance certifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN60D8203FRE6 and RN60D8203FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

The RN60D8203FRE6 in tape and reel packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments. The RN60D8203FB14 in bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where tape and reel format is not required. Both parts maintain full compliance with military specifications (MIL-R-10509/1) and carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Inventory availability favors the bulk-packaged substitute with 6940 pieces in stock compared to 689 pieces for the tape and reel variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the RN60D8203FRE6 and RN60D8203FB14 electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance value (820 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C). They are manufactured from the same metal film composition and meet the same military specifications.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is packaging format. The RN60D8203FRE6 is supplied in tape and reel (TR) configuration for automated assembly, while the RN60D8203FB14 is supplied in bulk packaging. Physical dimensions and all electrical characteristics are identical.

Q: Can I use the bulk-packaged RN60D8203FB14 in place of the tape and reel RN60D8203FRE6?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging. The component specifications are identical. Tape and reel packaging is typically required for automated pick-and-place assembly systems, while bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both the RN60D8203FRE6 and RN60D8203FB14 are part of the RN60 military series and comply with MIL-R-10509/1 specifications. They feature identical flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety certifications.

Q: What is the physical size of these resistors?

A: Both parts have identical axial package dimensions of 0.145" diameter by 0.344" length (3.68mm x 8.74mm). They are through-hole components suitable for PCB mounting in standard 0.1" grid layouts.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. Compliance status is the same for both the tape and reel and bulk packaging variants.
