• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (3.68mm × 8.74mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Identical Material & Construction:

• Composition: Metal Film
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60

Difference:

• Packaging format only: RN60D9101FRE6 supplied in Tape & Reel (TR); RN60D9101FB14 supplied in Bulk

Both parts share the same base product number (RN60) and maintain full compliance with military specifications and material certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60D9101FRE6 and RN60D9101FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and supply chain logistics:

RN60D9101FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring reel-fed component handling. Recommended for high-volume manufacturing with pick-and-place equipment.

RN60D9101FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, repair, prototyping, or applications where individual component handling is required. Higher inventory availability (1954 units) supports extended lead time mitigation.

Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliance status and REACH Affected classification. Military-grade construction (MIL-R-10509/1) and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C) ensure suitability for demanding environmental conditions. No functional or performance differences exist between these substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60D9101FB14 (Bulk) be used as a direct replacement for RN60D9101FRE6 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid for any application where the component specifications match the circuit requirements. Assembly process compatibility should be verified based on your manufacturing equipment.

Q: What determines whether these parts are substitutable?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching resistance value (9.1 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L), and axial package configuration. All these parameters are identical between the two parts.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats contain identical components. Packaging affects only handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility, not electrical or thermal characteristics.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these substitutes?

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

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: RN60D9101FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. RN60D9101FB14 in Bulk format is suitable for manual assembly or applications not requiring reel-fed component handling.

Q: Is inventory availability a factor in substitution decisions?

A: Inventory levels (792 units for RN60D9101FRE6 and 1954 units for RN60D9101FB14) may influence procurement timing and lead time considerations, but do not affect technical substitutability. Both parts are active production items.
