Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CRCW040256R2FKTD is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 56.2 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
• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Differences in RoHS compliance status and REACH classification do not affect electrical or mechanical interchangeability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for direct substitution in 0402 thick film resistor applications requiring 56.2 Ohm ±1% tolerance and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

CRCW040256R2FKED (Vishay Dale) is a direct manufacturer alternative from the same series with identical specifications and significantly higher inventory availability (27,150 pcs vs. 790 pcs). This part carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

RMCF0402FT56R2 (Stackpole Electronics) provides cross-manufacturer equivalence with the same electrical and mechanical characteristics. This part also carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, with the highest inventory level (73,068 pcs).

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, inventory availability, and compliance documentation needs for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW040256R2FKED be used as a direct replacement for CRCW040256R2FKTD?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the Vishay Dale CRCW series with identical electrical specifications (56.2 Ohms ±1%, 0.063W), package (0402), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C to 155°C), and AEC-Q200 rating. The primary difference is RoHS and REACH compliance status.

Q: Is RMCF0402FT56R2 compatible with applications designed for CRCW040256R2FKTD?

A: Yes. The Stackpole RMCF0402FT56R2 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements: 56.2 Ohms ±1%, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Cross-manufacturer substitution is valid for these specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS and REACH compliance differences?

A: CRCW040256R2FKTD is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. CRCW040256R2FKED and RMCF0402FT56R2 are both ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end product and regional market restrictions.

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

A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Does MSL rating affect substitution eligibility?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
