Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0402F202CS are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.03W / 1/32W (exact match required)
• Package Format: 01005 (0402 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The CRCW01002K00FREL from Vishay Dale meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0402F202CS and CRCW01002K00FREL are Active product status components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and manufacturer preference. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and REACH requirements. The 01005 (0402 Metric) package format ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and equipment. The ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C to 125°C operating range support applications across industrial and commercial temperature environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW01002K00FREL be used as a direct replacement for RC0402F202CS?

A: Yes. The CRCW01002K00FREL meets all specified electrical parameters (2 kOhms ±1%, 0.03W), mechanical dimensions (01005 package), temperature characteristics (±250ppm/°C, -55°C to 125°C), and compliance requirements (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). Both components are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any package compatibility differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use the identical 01005 (0402 Metric) package format with matching dimensions (0.016" L x 0.008" W, 0.40mm x 0.20mm) and maximum seated height (0.006" / 0.15mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the ±1% tolerance specification?

A: The ±1% tolerance indicates the maximum allowable deviation from the nominal 2 kOhm resistance value. Both the RC0402F202CS and CRCW01002K00FREL maintain this tolerance specification, ensuring circuit performance consistency across production batches.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: What does the ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient mean for circuit operation?

A: The temperature coefficient specifies the resistance change per degree Celsius across the operating range. At ±250ppm/°C, the resistance will vary by approximately 0.025% per degree Celsius. Both parts exhibit identical temperature stability characteristics.
