Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (36 kOhms), tolerance (±1% or tighter), power rating (0.05W minimum), package type (0201), composition (thick film), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). Parts are grouped into direct equivalents and upgrades based on product status and enhanced specifications.

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part:

ERJ-1GNF3602C (Panasonic, active status)
CRCW020136K0FNED (Vishay Dale, active status)
RMCF0201FT36K0 (Stackpole Electronics, active status)

Upgrade Parts offer enhanced performance characteristics while maintaining core compatibility:

AC0201FR-0736KL (YAGEO, automotive AEC-Q200 rated, moisture resistant)
CRCW020136K0FKED (Vishay Dale, tighter temperature coefficient ±100ppm/°C)
RC0201DR-0736KL (YAGEO, tighter tolerance ±0.5%)
RC0201FR-0736KL (YAGEO, moisture resistant)
RC0603F363CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics, moisture resistant)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Obsolete Part Substitution): ERJ-1GNF3602C from Panasonic is the primary direct equivalent, offering identical electrical specifications and active product status. CRCW020136K0FNED from Vishay Dale and RMCF0201FT36K0 from Stackpole Electronics provide equivalent performance with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and are suitable for applications requiring higher thermal margins.

For Enhanced Reliability: AC0201FR-0736KL and RMCF0201FT36K0 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications. RC0201FR-0736KL and RC0201DR-0736KL include moisture-resistant features for environments with elevated humidity exposure.

For Tighter Tolerance Requirements: RC0201DR-0736KL provides ±0.5% tolerance, suitable for precision analog circuits requiring tighter resistance accuracy than the standard ±1%.

For Superior Temperature Stability: CRCW020136K0FKED offers ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, half that of the original part, for applications sensitive to temperature-induced resistance drift.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-1GNF3602C directly replace ERJ-1GEF3602C? A: Yes. ERJ-1GNF3602C is a direct equivalent with identical resistance (36 kΩ), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package (0201), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C). The primary difference is active product status versus obsolete status.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and upgrade parts? A: Direct equivalents maintain all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original part. Upgrade parts offer enhanced characteristics such as tighter tolerance, lower temperature coefficient, extended operating temperature range, automotive qualification, or moisture resistance while remaining electrically compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format? A: Most substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format matching the original. RC0603F363CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Verify packaging requirements for your assembly process.

Q: Can RC0201DR-0736KL with ±0.5% tolerance be used in place of the ±1% original? A: Yes. Tighter tolerance is a superset of the original specification and provides improved accuracy. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for automotive applications? A: AC0201FR-0736KL and RMCF0201FT36K0 both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are suitable for automotive-grade designs.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility? A: Operating temperature range does not restrict substitution if the substitute range encompasses the original range or if your application operates within the substitute's specified range. CRCW020136K0FNED, RMCF0201FT36K0, AC0201FR-0736KL, and CRCW020136K0FKED extend to -55°C ~ 155°C, providing additional thermal margin.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
