Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW040256R0FKEE are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 56 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

All identified substitutes meet these criteria. Differences exist only in manufacturer identity and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are actively produced and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with ROHS3 compliance. Selection between CRCW040256R0FKEE, CRCW040256R0FKED, and RMCF0402FT56R0 depends on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations:

• CRCW040256R0FKEE and RMCF0402FT56R0 are supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for high-volume automated assembly.
• CRCW040256R0FKED is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format, suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component applications.
• All parts share identical electrical performance and thermal characteristics within the specified operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW040256R0FKED be used as a direct replacement for CRCW040256R0FKEE?

A: Yes. Both are manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical electrical specifications (56 Ohms ±1%, 0.063W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). The difference is packaging format: CRCW040256R0FKEE uses Tape & Reel, while CRCW040256R0FKED uses Cut Tape & Digi-Reel. PCB assembly compatibility is identical.

Q: Is RMCF0402FT56R0 from Stackpole Electronics electrically equivalent?

A: Yes. RMCF0402FT56R0 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications: 56 Ohms ±1%, 0.063W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, AEC-Q200 qualification, and 0402 package dimensions. The manufacturer differs, but performance parameters are identical.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) provides continuous component strips on reels for automated pick-and-place assembly at high volumes. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (CT) provides smaller quantities on tape strips or reels, suitable for prototyping, low-volume production, or mixed-component orders.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. All three parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification, which certifies suitability for automotive environments including temperature cycling, vibration, and reliability requirements.

Q: Do these parts require different soldering or assembly procedures?

A: No. All three parts use identical 0402 (1005 Metric) package dimensions and termination specifications. Standard SMD assembly processes apply to all variants.
