CRCW04023K30FKEE Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CRCW04023K30FKEE is a 3.3 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package format, rated for 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation. Manufactured by Vishay Dale, this component is designed for automotive applications and meets AEC-Q200 qualification standards. The part is currently in active production status with 728 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when procurement from different manufacturers or packaging formats is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW04023K30FKEE are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Resistance value: 3.3 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Package format: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The identified substitutes differ only in manufacturer identity and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), which are procurement and logistics considerations rather than functional or electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three part numbers are functionally and electrically equivalent for applications requiring a 3.3 kOhms ±1% thick film resistor in 0402 package format with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

CRCW04023K30FKED (Vishay Dale) is a direct manufacturer equivalent to the primary part number, differing only in packaging format. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and automotive compliance while offering higher inventory availability (1150 units).

RMCF0402FT3K30 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) provides cross-manufacturer substitution with significantly higher inventory levels (270347 units). This part meets all electrical and compliance requirements and is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is acceptable.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment, and inventory availability rather than electrical performance considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW04023K30FKED be used as a direct replacement for CRCW04023K30FKEE?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale and share identical electrical specifications, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The only difference is packaging format: CRCW04023K30FKEE uses Tape & Reel format while CRCW04023K30FKED uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. Compatibility depends on your assembly equipment's tape format requirements.

Q: Is RMCF0402FT3K30 from Stackpole Electronics electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. The RMCF0402FT3K30 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the CRCW04023K30FKEE, including 3.3 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. It is a cross-manufacturer substitute suitable for applications where multi-source parts are qualified.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on a reel, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel packaging provides components on cut tape segments or alternative reel formats, typically for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly operations. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in delivery and handling format.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. CRCW04023K30FKEE, CRCW04023K30FKED, and RMCF0402FT3K30 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and operate across the -55°C ~ 155°C temperature range, making them suitable for automotive circuit applications where the primary part is specified.
