Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CRCW08051R96FNTA is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.96 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Termination count: 2
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The RMCF0805FT1R96 manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the CRCW08051R96FNTA and RMCF0805FT1R96 are active products meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications for 1.96 Ohm ±1% 0805 thick film resistors with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Supply availability and lead time requirements. The RMCF0805FT1R96 currently maintains higher inventory levels (7770 Pcs vs 760 Pcs).

RoHS compliance requirements. The RMCF0805FT1R96 is ROHS3 compliant, while the CRCW08051R96FNTA is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives must use the Stackpole part.

Physical height constraints. The RMCF0805FT1R96 has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm) compared to 0.020" (0.50mm) for the Vishay part. PCB layout with tight vertical clearances may require the Vishay component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0805FT1R96 replace CRCW08051R96FNTA in all applications?

A: Yes, provided RoHS compliance is not a constraint. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature range, and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between these parts?

A: The RMCF0805FT1R96 has a maximum seated height of 0.65mm versus 0.50mm for the CRCW08051R96FNTA. In applications with minimal vertical clearance on the PCB, the Vishay part may be required. Standard 0805 package designs typically accommodate both heights.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and material composition requirement, not an electrical specification. Both parts deliver identical electrical characteristics. Selection depends on whether your application or market requires RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Are these parts pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package geometry with 2 terminations and are directly interchangeable at the PCB footprint level.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification mean for substitution?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for passive components. Both parts meet this qualification, confirming they are suitable for automotive applications requiring this certification. Substitution between AEC-Q200 qualified parts maintains compliance.
