AF0201FR-07162RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AF0201FR-07162RL is a 162 Ohms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and features anti-sulfur coating with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The part is currently in active production status with 722 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary manufacturer experiences supply constraints, lead time extensions, or when design requirements permit equivalent alternatives that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The three substitute parts listed maintain full compatibility with the original specification while offering different availability profiles and packaging options.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AF0201FR-07162RL is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package format: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All three substitute parts meet these criteria. Differences in operating temperature range, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and product status are noted but do not disqualify substitution eligibility when electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AF0201FR-07162RL and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original part is specified.

CRCW0201162RFNED (Vishay Dale) is recommended as the primary substitute. This part maintains active production status, offers the highest operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and is available in Tape & Reel packaging identical to the original specification. Inventory availability is substantial at 11189 units.

ERJ-1GNF1620C (Panasonic Electronic Components) is recommended as the secondary substitute. This part is in active production, maintains the standard operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and is packaged in Tape & Reel format. Inventory availability is the highest among all options at 38878 units.

ERJ-1GEF1620C (Panasonic Electronic Components) is available as a tertiary option. This part carries obsolete product status and is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging rather than standard Tape & Reel format. While electrically equivalent, the packaging format difference may require process adjustments in automated assembly environments. Inventory availability is 26435 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0201162RFNED be used as a direct replacement for AF0201FR-07162RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (162 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package format (0201), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3). The CRCW0201162RFNED offers an extended operating temperature range to 155°C compared to 125°C for the original part, making it suitable for all applications where the AF0201FR-07162RL is specified.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on a continuous reel suitable for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on individual tape segments, typically used for lower-volume assembly or manual placement. The ERJ-1GEF1620C is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format, which may require different handling procedures than the standard Tape & Reel format of the original part.

Q: Does the obsolete status of ERJ-1GEF1620C affect its suitability as a substitute?

A: Obsolete product status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production. However, the part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent to the AF0201FR-07162RL. Obsolete parts may be sourced from existing inventory but are not recommended for new designs due to uncertain long-term availability. For new applications, select from parts with active production status: CRCW0201162RFNED or ERJ-1GNF1620C.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: The AF0201FR-07162RL explicitly carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur coating. The substitute parts provided do not list AEC-Q200 qualification in their specifications. If AEC-Q200 qualification is a mandatory requirement for your application, verify with the manufacturer or supplier before substitution.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: CRCW0201162RFNED and ERJ-1GNF1620C are both supplied in Tape & Reel format and are compatible with standard automated pick-and-place equipment. ERJ-1GEF1620C is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format and may require equipment reconfiguration or manual handling, depending on your assembly process capabilities.
