RN65D1802FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN65D1802FRE6 is an 18 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.5W (1/2W) in axial package configuration. Manufactured by Vishay Dale under the military-grade RN65 series per MIL-R-10509/2 specification, this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction. The part maintains active product status with 1091 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, or when supply chain requirements necessitate alternative sourcing from the same manufacturer series.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65D1802FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 18 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 configuration: Axial through-hole
• Physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L
• Series compliance: RN65 military-grade per MIL-R-10509/2

The primary distinction between the main part and identified substitutes is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk). Both formats contain electrically and mechanically identical components from the same manufacturer series, differing only in supply presentation and inventory management classification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN65D1802FRE6 and RN65D1802FB14 are active products manufactured by Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN65 series. Selection between these parts is determined by packaging and supply chain requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

The RN65D1802FRE6 in Tape & Reel format is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments where component feeding systems require continuous strip packaging. The RN65D1802FB14 in Bulk format accommodates manual assembly, repair operations, and lower-volume applications where individual component handling is standard practice.

Both parts maintain identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected compliance status. Component selection should account for assembly methodology, inventory management systems, and procurement volume requirements rather than functional performance criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D1802FB14 (Bulk) be used as a direct replacement for RN65D1802FRE6 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical 18 kOhms ±1% metal film resistors with 0.5W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -65°C to 175°C operating range. The only difference is packaging format. Substitution is valid for any application where the component specifications match circuit requirements.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for RN65D1802FRE6?

A: Substitution requires exact equivalence across resistance value (18 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), composition (metal film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), axial package configuration, and physical dimensions (0.180" Dia × 0.562" L). All identified substitutes meet these criteria.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the main part and substitute?

A: No. Both RN65D1802FRE6 and RN65D1802FB14 share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance classification does not differ between packaging formats.

Q: Which packaging format should be selected for new designs?

A: Packaging selection depends on manufacturing process. Tape & Reel format (RN65D1802FRE6) integrates with automated pick-and-place assembly systems. Bulk format (RN65D1802FB14) supports manual assembly and repair workflows. Both formats deliver identical component performance.

Q: Is the RN65 series suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts comply with MIL-R-10509/2 military specification and feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction appropriate for military-grade circuit applications.
