CRCW02012K00FNEE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CRCW02012K00FNEE is a 2 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor in 0201 package format, rated at 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is actively produced and widely used in compact electronic assemblies where space constraints demand miniaturized passive components. Substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, and procurement options while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW02012K00FNEE are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 2 kOhms
• Matching tolerance: ±1%
• Equivalent power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Same package format: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thick Film
• Matching temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Compatible operating temperature range: minimum -55°C, maximum ≥155°C
• Equivalent RoHS and REACH compliance status
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: CR0201-FW-2001GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RMCF0201FT2K00 (Stackpole Electronics Inc.).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The CRCW02012K00FNEE and RMCF0201FT2K00 both support the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The CR0201-FW-2001GLF operates to 125°C maximum, which is suitable for applications not requiring the extended upper temperature limit. The RMCF0201FT2K00 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional assurance for automotive and high-reliability applications. Height variation between parts is minimal (0.010" to 0.011"), with negligible impact on PCB assembly clearance in standard 0201 applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0201-FW-2001GLF be used in place of CRCW02012K00FNEE in all applications?

A: CR0201-FW-2001GLF is electrically and mechanically compatible for applications operating within -55°C to 125°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use CRCW02012K00FNEE or RMCF0201FT2K00.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on RMCF0201FT2K00?

A: AEC-Q200 indicates qualification to automotive industry reliability standards. This certification is relevant for automotive, industrial, and high-reliability applications but is not required for general consumer electronics.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: CRCW02012K00FNEE is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. CR0201-FW-2001GLF is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RMCF0201FT2K00 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging format does not affect component performance but may influence procurement and assembly logistics.

Q: Is the 0.001" height difference between parts significant?

A: The maximum seated height difference is 0.001" (0.02mm), which is negligible for standard PCB assembly and does not affect component placement or clearance in typical 0201 applications.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Compliance profiles are equivalent across all substitute options.
