RN65D6201FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN65D6201FRE6 is a 6.2 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 (MIL-R-10509/2), this component features flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 903 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format differs while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications, enabling procurement flexibility across different supply channels and inventory conditions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN65D6201FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN65D6201FRE6 based on the following substitution criteria:

Identical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C

Identical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: Axial
• Physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia × 0.562" L (4.57mm × 14.27mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Identical Material & Construction:

• Composition: Metal Film
• Features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• Series: Military, MIL-R-10509/2, RN65
• Product status: Active

Difference:

• Packaging format: RN65D6201FRE6 supplied in Tape & Reel (TR); RN65D6201FB14 supplied in Bulk

Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical base product number RN65. The substitution is valid for applications where packaging format does not impose supply chain or assembly constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RN65D6201FRE6 and RN65D6201FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale with identical electrical, mechanical, and material specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging and supply requirements:

RN65D6201FRE6 (Tape & Reel): Suitable for automated assembly processes requiring tape-and-reel packaging format. Current inventory of 903 units supports medium-volume production runs.

RN65D6201FB14 (Bulk): Suitable for manual assembly, kit builds, or applications where bulk packaging is preferred. Higher current inventory of 2267 units provides greater availability.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and military-grade construction (MIL-R-10509/2). No functional or performance differences exist between these parts. Selection is determined solely by packaging format compatibility with assembly infrastructure and procurement logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D6201FB14 (Bulk) be used as a direct replacement for RN65D6201FRE6 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format. If your assembly process can accommodate bulk packaging, RN65D6201FB14 is a valid substitute.

Q: Are there any performance differences between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance value (6.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C), and physical dimensions (0.180" Dia × 0.562" L).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Bulk packaging is loose components suitable for manual assembly or kit distribution. The component itself is identical in both formats.

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN65D6201FRE6 and RN65D6201FB14 are part of the military-grade RN65 series compliant with MIL-R-10509/2 standard. Both feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What is the current availability of these parts?

A: RN65D6201FRE6 (Tape & Reel) has 903 units in stock. RN65D6201FB14 (Bulk) has 2267 units in stock. Both are active production parts.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (RoHS non-compliant) and REACH status (REACH Affected). Compliance requirements are identical for both part numbers.
