Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW04023K32FKEE are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 3.32 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.063W, 1/16W (exact match required)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200 (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All identified substitutes meet these criteria and are manufactured by qualified suppliers with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—CRCW04023K32FKEE, CRCW04023K32FKED, and RMCF0402FT3K32—are functionally equivalent for applications requiring a 3.32 kOhms ±1% 1/16W 0402 thick film resistor with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Manufacturer Considerations:

• CRCW04023K32FKEE and CRCW04023K32FKED are both Vishay Dale products within the CRCW series, differing only in packaging designation (FKEE vs. FKED).
• RMCF0402FT3K32 is a Stackpole Electronics product from the RMCF series, offering an alternative manufacturer source with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Compliance & Certifications: All parts carry ROHS3 compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for automotive and industrial applications without additional qualification requirements.

Availability: CRCW04023K32FKED and RMCF0402FT3K32 demonstrate significantly higher inventory levels compared to CRCW04023K32FKEE, providing supply chain flexibility for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW04023K32FKED be used as a direct replacement for CRCW04023K32FKEE? A: Yes. Both parts are Vishay Dale CRCW series resistors with identical electrical specifications (3.32 kOhms ±1%, 1/16W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical dimensions (0402 package). The difference lies in packaging designation only.

Q: Is RMCF0402FT3K32 from Stackpole Electronics compatible with designs specified for CRCW04023K32FKEE? A: Yes. RMCF0402FT3K32 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements: 3.32 kOhms ±1%, 1/16W power rating, 0402 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid when all parameters match.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability for this resistor? A: Substitutability is determined by exact matching of: resistance value (3.32 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (1/16W), package (0402), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. CRCW04023K32FKED and RMCF0402FT3K32 are both ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of CRCW04023K32FKEE.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating for these resistors? A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All three parts carry this rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature automotive applications? A: Yes. All three parts are rated for -55°C to 155°C operation and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, confirming suitability for automotive thermal environments.
