RN60D90R9FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60D90R9FRE6 is a 90.9 Ohm ±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 per MIL-R-10509/1 specification, 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 692 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, supply chain considerations, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60D90R9FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 90.9 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
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/1, RN60 military specification

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format: the RN60D90R9FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute RN60D90R9FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and maintain identical electrical characteristics, mechanical dimensions, and military-grade specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D90R9FRE6 and RN60D90R9FB14 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 RN60D90R9FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation are utilized.

The RN60D90R9FB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, low-volume production, or applications where tape-and-reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain full compliance with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and are subject to identical regulatory classifications (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0090). Electrical performance, reliability characteristics, and environmental operating parameters are equivalent across both part numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D90R9FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60D90R9FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance value (90.9 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L). The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The RN60D90R9FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the RN60D90R9FB14 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement, storage, and assembly methodology but does not impact component performance or specifications.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical regulatory status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090. Both are manufactured under the same military specification (MIL-R-10509/1) and carry the same product status (Active).

Q: Which packaging format should I select for my application?

A: Selection depends on your assembly process. Tape & Reel (RN60D90R9FRE6) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Bulk packaging (RN60D90R9FB14) is suitable for manual assembly or applications where automated feeding is not required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical axial package dimensions of 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility in PCB layouts and through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification for these resistors?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C across the operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C, ensuring stable resistance performance across military and industrial temperature extremes.
