RN60E10R0FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60E10R0FRE6 is a 10 Ohm, 1/4W metal film through-hole resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale, designed for military applications per MIL-R-10509/1 specification. This axial component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for high-reliability electronic assemblies. The part is currently active in production with 918 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging format availability, tolerance requirements, or inventory constraints in specific procurement channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN60E10R0BB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 10 Ohms
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia x 0.344" L (3.68mm x 8.74mm)
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/1, RN60
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The primary difference is tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%) and packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). The tighter tolerance of the substitute part represents an upgrade in precision capability while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60E10R0FRE6 and RN60E10R0BB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical military qualification and compliance status. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging requirements: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel format suitable for automated assembly, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk format
• Tolerance requirements: Applications requiring ±0.1% tolerance precision should specify RN60E10R0BB14; applications with ±1% tolerance acceptance can use either part
• Inventory availability: Both parts maintain active stock levels (918 units and 1460 units respectively)
• Compliance requirements: Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant status, REACH Affected classification, ECCN EAR99, and HTSUS 8533.21.0090 coding

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E10R0BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60E10R0FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters including resistance, power rating, temperature range, and physical dimensions. The substitute features improved tolerance specification (±0.1% versus ±1%).

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

A: The main differences are tolerance specification and packaging format. RN60E10R0BB14 provides tighter tolerance (±0.1%) and is supplied in Bulk packaging, while RN60E10R0FRE6 has standard tolerance (±1%) and is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical compliance status including RoHS non-compliant designation, REACH Affected classification, and military series qualification per MIL-R-10509/1.

Q: Which part should be selected for automated assembly?

A: RN60E10R0FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, which is the standard packaging for automated pick-and-place assembly operations.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design tolerance requirements are met. Applications designed for ±1% tolerance can use either part. Applications requiring ±0.1% tolerance must use RN60E10R0BB14.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both parts operate across -65°C to 175°C with identical temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C.
