Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RN65E1003FRE6 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 100 kOhms
• Power Rating: Must be 0.5W (1/2W)
• Composition: Must be Metal Film
• Package Type: Must be Axial
• Operating Temperature Range: Must support -65°C to 175°C
• Series Compliance: Must belong to RN65 military series (MIL-R-10509/2)
• Physical Dimensions: Must match 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L (4.57mm x 14.27mm)

The RN65E1003FRE6 (Tape & Reel packaging) can be directly substituted with RN65E1003FB14 (Bulk packaging), which maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. An upgrade path exists to RN65E1003BB14, which provides tighter tolerance (±0.1% versus ±1%) while maintaining all other parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (RN65E1003FB14): This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RN65E1003FRE6. The only difference is packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel). Both parts maintain active production status and identical compliance profiles (RoHS non-compliant, REACH Affected). Selection between these two depends solely on procurement and assembly requirements.

Upgrade Option (RN65E1003BB14): This part provides superior tolerance performance (±0.1% versus ±1%) while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. It is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy. This part is also in active production with equivalent compliance status.

All three parts comply with MIL-R-10509/2 military specifications and are suitable for the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN65E1003FB14 replace RN65E1003FRE6 in my assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The difference is packaging: RN65E1003FRE6 comes in Tape & Reel format while RN65E1003FB14 is supplied in Bulk. Verify your assembly equipment can accommodate the packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between RN65E1003FRE6 and RN65E1003BB14?

A: The primary difference is tolerance: RN65E1003FRE6 has ±1% tolerance while RN65E1003BB14 has ±0.1% tolerance. All other parameters—resistance value, power rating, temperature range, physical dimensions, and military specifications—are identical. RN65E1003BB14 is suitable for precision applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy.

Q: Are all three parts military-grade?

A: Yes. All three parts belong to the RN65 military series and comply with MIL-R-10509/2 specifications. They feature flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety-rated construction.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of these resistors?

A: All three parts have identical axial package dimensions: 0.180" diameter by 0.562" length (4.57mm by 14.27mm).

Q: Do these parts have any RoHS or REACH compliance concerns?

A: All three parts are RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction before selection.
