RN60E2001BRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN60E2001BRE6 is a 2 kOhms ±0.1% 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 (MIL-R-10509/1), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part maintains active product status with 739 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN60E2001BRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±0.1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C (exact match required)
• Package configuration: Axial (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.145" Dia × 0.344" L (exact match required)
• Series: RN60 military-grade classification (exact match required)

The identified substitute part RN60E2001BB14 maintains complete electrical and mechanical equivalence. The only distinction between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale under identical specifications and certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN60E2001BRE6 and RN60E2001BB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications, military-grade certification under MIL-R-10509/1, and equivalent compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected). Selection between these parts is determined solely by packaging requirements and procurement logistics.

The RN60E2001BRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding and placement automation is required. The RN60E2001BB14 in Bulk packaging is appropriate for manual assembly, prototyping, repair operations, or applications where tape-and-reel handling infrastructure is not available. Both parts deliver identical functional performance and reliability characteristics in circuit applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN60E2001BB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN60E2001BRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN60E2001BRE6 is specified, provided the receiving process can accommodate Bulk packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging contains loose components suitable for manual handling, hand assembly, or repair work. The electrical performance and reliability of the resistor are unaffected by packaging format.

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

A: No. Both parts carry identical military-grade certification (MIL-R-10509/1), RoHS status (non-compliant), and REACH status (Affected). Compliance requirements are met equally by either part.

Q: What are the critical parameters that must match for substitution?

A: Resistance value (2 kOhms), tolerance (±0.1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (Metal Film), temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), axial package configuration, and physical dimensions (0.145" Dia × 0.344" L) must all remain identical. Any deviation in these parameters disqualifies a part as a substitute.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in military or aerospace applications?

A: Both parts meet MIL-R-10509/1 military specifications. Interchangeability in specific military or aerospace applications depends on the procurement specification and qualification requirements of the end-use system. Consult the applicable system specification or procurement document for substitution approval.
