RC0402F472CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0402F472CS is a 4.7 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 01005 (0402 Metric) package. This component is rated for 0.03W (1/32W) power dissipation and is designed for moisture-resistant applications across industrial and commercial temperature ranges. The part maintains Active product status with full 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 for applications requiring identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0402F472CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 4.7 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.03W / 1/32W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Parameters:

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

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria simultaneously. Composition type (thick film) and packaging format (Tape & Reel) are also maintained across substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0402F472CS and CRCW01004K70FREL maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on procurement availability, supplier lead times, and inventory positioning rather than technical differentiation.

The CRCW01004K70FREL (Vishay Dale) demonstrates higher current inventory availability (24,509 pcs) compared to the RC0402F472CS (1,049 pcs), making it suitable for high-volume production requirements or extended supply chain planning. Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance requirements for direct substitution in circuit designs.

Component selection should prioritize Active status parts with matching RoHS3 and REACH compliance certifications. No technical performance trade-offs exist between these alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW01004K70FREL be used as a direct replacement for RC0402F472CS?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance value (4.7 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.03W), temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), package type (01005/0402 Metric), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Q: Are there any package or footprint differences between these parts?

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

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for this resistor?

A: Substitution requires exact matching across resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package type, physical dimensions, and compliance status (RoHS3, REACH, MSL level). All parameters must align precisely; no deviations are permitted.

Q: Do these parts have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling requirements are identical.

Q: Are there inventory or lead time considerations for selecting between these parts?

A: The CRCW01004K70FREL maintains significantly higher inventory levels (24,509 pcs vs. 1,049 pcs for RC0402F472CS). For applications requiring immediate availability or high-volume procurement, the Vishay Dale part may offer supply chain advantages without technical compromise.
