Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN65D1500FRE6 and RN65D1500FB14 are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents within the Vishay Dale RN65 military resistor series. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications: 150 Ohms ±1% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, metal film composition, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Both operate across the full military temperature range of -65°C to 175°C and share identical physical dimensions (0.180" Dia × 0.562" L).

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Resistance value and tolerance
• Power rating
• Composition and construction method
• Temperature coefficient
• Operating temperature range
• Physical package dimensions
• Axial termination configuration
• Military series designation and compliance

The only difference between these parts is packaging format: RN65D1500FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RN65D1500FB14 is supplied in Bulk format. This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not alter component performance or electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN65D1500FRE6 and RN65D1500FB14 are active production components from Vishay Dale with identical electrical performance and military qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and assembly process compatibility.

RN65D1500FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly operations and high-volume production environments. RN65D1500FB14 in Bulk format is appropriate for manual assembly, low-volume builds, or applications where tape packaging is not required. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliance status and REACH affected designation, consistent with military-grade component specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D1500FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D1500FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk vs. Tape & Reel). Substitution is valid for any application where the RN65D1500FRE6 is specified, provided assembly equipment can accommodate the Bulk packaging format.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated assembly lines with pick-and-place equipment. Bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or applications where tape feeding is not available. The resistor component itself is identical in both formats.

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

A: No. Both parts share identical military series designation (MIL-R-10509/2, RN65), RoHS status, REACH status, and all other compliance parameters. They are fully interchangeable from a regulatory standpoint.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution to be valid?

A: Resistance value (150 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), composition (metal film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), physical dimensions (0.180" Dia × 0.562" L), and axial package type must all remain unchanged for valid substitution.

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

A: Yes, provided the application design does not specify a particular packaging format. Both parts meet MIL-R-10509/2 military specifications and are suitable for high-reliability applications.
