RC0402F152CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0402F152CS is a 1.5 kOhm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 01005 (0402 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.03W (1/32W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC0402F152CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.03W (1/32W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package format: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Height seated (maximum): 0.006" (0.15mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH unaffected status

The substitute part CRCW01001K50FREL from Vishay Dale meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel), which does not affect functional equivalence but may impact procurement and handling procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0402F152CS and CRCW01001K50FREL are Active product status components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

RC0402F152CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): Select this part when Tape & Reel packaging is required for automated assembly processes or when Samsung sourcing is specified in design documentation.

CRCW01001K50FREL (Vishay Dale): Select this part when Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging is acceptable or preferred, or when Vishay Dale component sourcing is required. This part provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with alternative packaging delivery.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications, temperature performance, and regulatory compliance requirements. The choice between them is determined by packaging format availability, procurement lead times, and supply chain strategy rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW01001K50FREL be used as a direct replacement for RC0402F152CS in PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance values (1.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.03W), temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and physical dimensions (01005 package, 0.40mm x 0.20mm). PCB footprints are identical.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides components on tape segments or alternative reel formats. Both formats contain the same component; packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly line compatibility only.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC0402F152CS and CRCW01001K50FREL are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with the same temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C. They are functionally equivalent in all temperature-dependent applications within this range.

Q: Are there any differences in failure rate between these parts?

A: Failure rate data is not provided in the component specifications for either part. Selection should be based on manufacturer reliability data sheets and application-specific requirements.
