RN70D6802FRE6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RN70D6802FRE6 is a 68 kOhms ±1% metal film through-hole resistor rated at 0.75W, manufactured by Vishay Dale. This axial component features flame retardant coating and is designed for military applications per MIL-R-10509/3 specification. The part is currently active in production with 853 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when packaging format changes or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RN70E6802FB14 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RN70D6802FRE6 based on the following critical parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 68 kOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.75W
• Identical composition: Metal Film
• Identical package type: Axial
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.180" Dia x 0.562" L
• Identical operating temperature range: -65°C ~ 175°C
• Identical series classification: Military, MIL-R-10509/3, RN70
• Identical number of terminations: 2

The primary difference between these parts is packaging format: the main part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the substitute is supplied in Bulk format. Both parts maintain the same electrical performance and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RN70D6802FRE6 and RN70E6802FB14 are active production parts from Vishay Dale within the military-grade RN70 series. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging requirements:

• Select RN70D6802FRE6 when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes.
• Select RN70E6802FB14 when Bulk packaging is acceptable or preferred for manual assembly or when TR format is unavailable.

The RN70E6802FB14 offers improved temperature coefficient performance (±25ppm/°C versus ±100ppm/°C), providing superior stability across the operating temperature range. Both parts maintain RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected classification. Inventory availability should be evaluated based on project timeline requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RN70E6802FB14 be used as a direct replacement for RN70D6802FRE6?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, dimensions, and operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk).

Q: What is the significance of the different temperature coefficients?

A: The RN70E6802FB14 has a temperature coefficient of ±25ppm/°C compared to ±100ppm/°C for the RN70D6802FRE6. This means the substitute part exhibits superior resistance stability across temperature variations, resulting in more predictable performance in applications sensitive to temperature-induced resistance drift.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical RoHS status (non-compliant), REACH status (Affected), ECCN classification (EAR99), and HTSUS code (8533.21.0090).

Q: Which packaging format should I select?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for high-volume automated assembly lines. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume applications. Verify your assembly process requirements before selecting.

Q: Are both parts suitable for military applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured to military specifications (MIL-R-10509/3) and include flame retardant coating, moisture resistance, and safety features required for military-grade applications.
