Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CRCW12061M65FKEB is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.65 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Two substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical specifications:

1. CRCW12061M65FKEA (Vishay Dale) — Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical characteristics and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification
2. MCR18ERTF1654 (Rohm Semiconductor) — Functionally equivalent with matching electrical parameters; note product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW12061M65FKEA is the primary substitute for CRCW12061M65FKEB. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale, share identical electrical specifications, and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The CRCW12061M65FKEA offers superior inventory availability (16195 units) compared to the main part. Both parts are active products with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

MCR18ERTF1654 (Rohm Semiconductor) provides functional equivalence with matching electrical parameters and operating range. However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and does not carry specified automotive qualification. Selection of MCR18ERTF1654 is appropriate only when automotive certification is not required and availability from alternative sources is confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12061M65FKEA be used as a direct replacement for CRCW12061M65FKEB?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Vishay Dale with identical resistance (1.65 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12061M65FKEB and CRCW12061M65FKEA?

A: The parts differ only in packaging configuration. CRCW12061M65FKEB is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CRCW12061M65FKEA is also supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Is MCR18ERTF1654 suitable for automotive applications?

A: MCR18ERTF1654 does not carry specified automotive qualification. Use this part only in non-automotive applications or when automotive certification is not a design requirement.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: CRCW12061M65FKEB and CRCW12061M65FKEA are identical at 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.024" (0.60mm) maximum seated height. MCR18ERTF1654 has slightly different dimensions: 0.120" L x 0.061" W (3.05mm x 1.55mm) with 0.026" (0.65mm) maximum seated height. These dimensional variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. CRCW12061M65FKEB, CRCW12061M65FKEA, and MCR18ERTF1654 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
