AC0402FR-072ML Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AC0402FR-072ML is a 2 MOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package rated for 1/16W (0.063W) power dissipation. This YAGEO component is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards with moisture-resistant construction and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is active in production with 8,751 units in current inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits selection from multiple qualified manufacturers meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (2 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.063W), package type (0402/1005 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1).

All four substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Differences in automotive qualification (AEC-Q200), packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and manufacturer-specific features do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, CRCW04022M00FKED (Vishay Dale) provides direct equivalence with the AC0402FR-072ML while offering significantly higher inventory availability (326,589 units). Both parts carry identical electrical specifications and automotive certification.

RC0402FR-072ML (YAGEO) serves as a direct manufacturer alternative from the same series, with the same electrical and thermal characteristics. This option is suitable for non-automotive applications or designs where automotive qualification is not mandatory.

CRG0402F2M0 (TE Connectivity Passive Product) and RC1005F205CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) are functionally equivalent alternatives meeting all core electrical and mechanical parameters. RC1005F205CS is available in Cut Tape packaging, which may be preferred for lower-volume or prototype applications.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0402FR-072ML replace AC0402FR-072ML in automotive applications? A: RC0402FR-072ML meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but lacks AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Use only in non-automotive designs or where automotive certification is not required.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging? A: Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape packaging is suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components with identical electrical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint? A: Yes. All parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.039" L × 0.020" W) and maximum seated height specifications, ensuring direct footprint compatibility.

Q: Does the absence of AEC-Q200 certification affect electrical performance? A: No. AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade reliability testing and qualification. Electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating) remain identical across all listed parts.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability? A: RC1005F205CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) provides the highest inventory level at 1,188,824 units, followed by CRCW04022M00FKED (Vishay Dale) at 326,589 units.
