Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0402FR-071M27L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.27 MOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.063W / 1/16W (exact match required)
• Package format: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)

The CRCW04021M27FKED from Vishay Dale meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
