Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60E1002FRE6 and RN60E1002BRE6 maintain active product status and identical military-grade specifications under MIL-R-10509/1. Selection between these parts is determined by application tolerance requirements and packaging logistics:

RN60E1002FRE6 (±1% Tolerance, Tape & Reel): Suitable for general-purpose military and high-reliability applications where ±1% tolerance meets circuit specifications. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes.

RN60E1002BRE6 (±0.1% Tolerance, Cut Tape): Appropriate for precision circuit applications requiring tighter tolerance control. Cut Tape packaging accommodates manual or semi-automated assembly workflows.

Both parts share identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and environmental ratings. Selection should be based on circuit tolerance requirements and assembly process compatibility rather than performance or reliability differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E1002BRE6 replace RN60E1002FRE6 in all applications?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. The RN60E1002BRE6 provides superior tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%), making it suitable for any application requiring the RN60E1002FRE6. Verify that your assembly process accommodates Cut Tape packaging format.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The RN60E1002BRE6 offers tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and is supplied in Cut Tape format, while the RN60E1002FRE6 has ±1% tolerance and Tape & Reel packaging. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Both comply with MIL-R-10509/1 military specification and share identical operating temperature ranges and environmental features.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Cut Tape are supply formats only. Component performance, reliability, and electrical characteristics remain identical. Selection should be based on assembly equipment compatibility and inventory management requirements.

Q: Can I use RN60E1002FRE6 in place of RN60E1002BRE6?

A: Electrically, yes, provided your circuit tolerates ±1% resistance variation. However, if the design specifies ±0.1% tolerance, the RN60E1002FRE6 does not meet that requirement.
