Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0402F6042CS are identified through strict parameter matching across electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 60.4 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 Equivalence Criteria:

• Package / Case: 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 (Max): 0.006" (0.15mm) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Compliance & Environmental Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)
• Product Status: Active (required)

The CRCW010060K4FREL from Vishay Dale meets all electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0402F6042CS and CRCW010060K4FREL are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and procurement requirements rather than technical performance differences.

The RC0402F6042CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics is suitable for applications requiring Samsung component qualification or preferred supplier agreements. The CRCW010060K4FREL from Vishay Dale serves as a direct functional equivalent for applications where Vishay components are specified or preferred.

Both components satisfy identical electrical performance requirements, mechanical fit specifications, and environmental operating conditions. The choice between manufacturers does not impact circuit functionality, thermal performance, or reliability characteristics within the specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW010060K4FREL be used as a direct replacement for RC0402F6042CS?
