Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN65D1241FRE6 is determined by equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.24 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Composition: Metal Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)
• Series compliance: MIL-R-10509/2, RN65
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety

The RN65D1241FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. The only difference is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) configuration, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (RN65) and military series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65D1241FRE6 and RN65D1241FB14 are active production parts manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts depends on packaging requirements and procurement logistics:

The RN65D1241FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require reel-based packaging.

The RN65D1241FB14 in Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, repair operations, or applications where individual component handling is required.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Both conform to military specification MIL-R-10509/2 and share the RN65 base product designation. Electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and reliability features are equivalent across both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D1241FB14 replace RN65D1241FRE6 in my circuit?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (1.24 kOhms ±1%, 0.5W, metal film composition), identical temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -65°C to 175°C operating range), and identical physical dimensions (0.180" Dia x 0.562" L). The only difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Bulk.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components wound on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Bulk packaging supplies loose components suitable for manual assembly or repair work. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical.

Q: Are both parts still in production?

A: Yes. Both RN65D1241FRE6 and RN65D1241FB14 are active production parts with current inventory available (920 units and 815 units respectively).

Q: Do these parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both parts conform to military specification MIL-R-10509/2 and are designated as part of the RN65 military series. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-grade construction.

Q: What is the compliance status of these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Compliance status is identical between the main part and substitute.
