Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AC0201FR-072R2L is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.2 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (equal or tighter tolerance acceptable)
• Power rating: 0.05W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric) form factor (exact match required for PCB compatibility)
• Composition: Thick film construction (maintains electrical characteristics)
• Temperature coefficient: -100 / +350 ppm/°C range (equal or superior stability acceptable)
• Operating temperature: Minimum -55°C to +125°C (lower upper limit acceptable for non-extended-range applications)
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH status alignment

The RC0201FR-072R2L qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters within acceptable engineering tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0201FR-072R2L is a qualified substitute for the AC0201FR-072R2L in applications where the operating temperature does not exceed 125°C. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment.

The primary distinction is the operating temperature upper limit: the AC0201FR-072R2L extends to 155°C (automotive AEC-Q200 rated), while the RC0201FR-072R2L is rated to 125°C. Selection between these parts depends on the specific thermal requirements of the application.

For applications requiring the full -55°C to 155°C automotive temperature range, the AC0201FR-072R2L remains the appropriate choice. For standard industrial or consumer applications operating within -55°C to 125°C, the RC0201FR-072R2L provides equivalent electrical performance with superior inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0201FR-072R2L replace AC0201FR-072R2L in automotive applications?

A: The RC0201FR-072R2L is suitable for automotive applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. If the application requires operation up to 155°C, the AC0201FR-072R2L with AEC-Q200 qualification is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm), ensuring identical PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between AC and RC series designations?

A: The AC series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with extended temperature range to 155°C. The RC series provides standard thick film resistor performance rated to 125°C. Both share identical electrical specifications for resistance, tolerance, and power rating.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels the same?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application temperature requirements. For designs requiring full automotive temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), specify AC0201FR-072R2L. For applications within -55°C to 125°C, either part is acceptable; RC0201FR-072R2L offers higher inventory availability.
