Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW0201280RFNED are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (280 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), composition (thick film), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C) must match exactly.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0201 / 0603 Metric), physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W), and termination count (2) must be identical.

Compliance & Status: All substitute parts must maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and REACH unaffected status are required.

Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format is maintained across all qualified substitutes.

The three identified substitute parts meet all specified criteria and are directly interchangeable with the CRCW0201280RFNED in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications requiring 280 Ohm ±1% thick film resistors in 0201 package format.

RMCF0201FT280R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification rating, providing additional reliability assurance for automotive and high-reliability applications. Height specification (0.011" maximum) is marginally higher than the primary part.

ERJ-1GNF2800C (Panasonic Electronic Components): Offers the highest inventory availability (52,386 pcs) among substitute options. Operating temperature range limited to -55°C ~ 125°C, which is acceptable for applications not requiring the extended upper temperature capability of the primary part.

RC0201FR-07280RL (YAGEO): Features moisture-resistant thick film composition, providing enhanced environmental protection. Operating temperature range limited to -55°C ~ 125°C. Height specification matches the primary part (0.010" maximum).

Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for automotive qualification, extended temperature range, moisture resistance, and component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0201FT280R replace CRCW0201280RFNED directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (280 Ohms ±1%, 0.05W, ±200ppm/°C), mechanical dimensions (0.024" x 0.012"), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The marginal height difference (0.011" vs 0.010" maximum) does not affect PCB assembly compatibility for standard 0201 footprints.

Q: What is the temperature limitation when using ERJ-1GNF2800C or RC0201FR-07280RL?

A: Both parts operate to -55°C ~ 125°C maximum, compared to the primary part's -55°C ~ 155°C range. These substitutes are suitable for applications with operating temperatures not exceeding 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use CRCW0201280RFNED or RMCF0201FT280R.

Q: Does RC0201FR-07280RL moisture resistance provide additional benefits?

A: The moisture-resistant thick film composition of RC0201FR-07280RL offers enhanced environmental protection in high-humidity or corrosive environments. Both the primary part and all substitutes maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. RMCF0201FT280R, ERJ-1GNF2800C, and RC0201FR-07280RL are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, matching the primary part's packaging specification for automated assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: ERJ-1GNF2800C (Panasonic) maintains the highest inventory level at 52,386 pcs. RMCF0201FT280R (Stackpole) provides 15,895 pcs, and RC0201FR-07280RL (YAGEO) offers 13,649 pcs. All three maintain sufficient stock for production requirements.
