Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters: resistance value (2.43 kOhms), package type (0402 Metric), power rating (0.063W minimum), composition (thin film), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH status). Tolerance and temperature coefficient variations are permitted when the substitute part meets or exceeds the performance envelope of the primary component. All identified substitutes maintain identical resistance, package, and power specifications while differing in tolerance grade or temperature coefficient characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. RT0402FRE072K43L provides direct tolerance equivalence (±1%) with identical temperature coefficient performance. RT0402BRD072K43L and CPF0402B2K43E1 offer enhanced tolerance specifications (±0.1%) and improved temperature stability (±25ppm/°C), suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy. Selection between direct equivalents and upgraded tolerance variants depends on circuit performance requirements and cost considerations. All parts are packaged in Tape & Reel format with MSL 1 rating, supporting standard surface mount assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402FRE072K43L be used as a direct replacement for MCS04020C2431FE000?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (2.43 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.063W), package (0402 Metric), composition (thin film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Functional substitution is direct.

Q: What is the difference between the ±1% tolerance parts and ±0.1% tolerance parts?

A: RT0402BRD072K43L and CPF0402B2K43E1 provide tighter tolerance specifications (±0.1% versus ±1%) and lower temperature coefficients (±25ppm/°C versus ±50ppm/°C). These upgrades reduce resistance drift across temperature extremes and improve circuit accuracy in precision applications.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package. Maximum seated heights range from 0.014" to 0.015", representing a 0.001" variation. This difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly and does not affect footprint compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: All parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. REACH status is either REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined across the group, maintaining regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for cost optimization?

A: RT0402FRE072K43L provides the lowest-cost equivalent with matching specifications. RT0402BRD072K43L and CPF0402B2K43E1 command price premiums due to enhanced tolerance and temperature coefficient performance.
