RN65D8201FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN65D8201FRE6 is an 8.2 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 certification suitable for military and high-reliability applications. The part is currently active in production with 742 units in stock. Substitute parts may be required due to packaging availability, inventory constraints, or specific procurement requirements while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RN65D8201FRE6 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part RN65D8201FB14 qualifies as a direct equivalent based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 8.2 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.5W (1/2W)
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical package configuration: Axial
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C to 175°C
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/2, RN65
• Identical features: Flame Retardant Coating, Military, Moisture Resistant, Safety
• Identical compliance status: RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected

The only difference between the main part and substitute is the packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) versus Bulk. This distinction affects procurement and handling but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN65D8201FRE6 and RN65D8201FB14 are active production components manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements and inventory availability:

• RN65D8201FRE6 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.
• RN65D8201FB14 is supplied in Bulk format, suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or applications where tape-and-reel packaging is not required.

Both parts maintain identical compliance status (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected) and are suitable for military and high-reliability applications requiring MIL-R-10509/2 qualification. The choice between these equivalents should be determined by assembly methodology and procurement logistics rather than technical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65D8201FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN65D8201FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). If your assembly process accommodates bulk packaging, RN65D8201FB14 is a valid substitute.

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 contains loose components suitable for manual assembly or hand-soldering applications. Both formats contain the same component with identical specifications.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts have identical resistance value (8.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.5W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 175°C).

Q: Do both parts meet military specifications?

A: Yes. Both RN65D8201FRE6 and RN65D8201FB14 are classified as Military series components compliant with MIL-R-10509/2 standard and feature identical military-grade characteristics including flame retardant coating and moisture resistance.

Q: What is the physical size compatibility?

A: Both parts have identical axial package dimensions of 0.180" diameter by 0.562" length (4.57mm x 14.27mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts and through-hole applications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected status. Compliance requirements and certifications are equivalent between the two part numbers.
