Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0402J472CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 4.7 kOhms
• Package format: 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Power rating: 0.03W (1/32W) minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

Tolerance Consideration: The main part specifies ±5% tolerance. Substitute parts with ±1% tolerance (tighter tolerance) are functionally compatible as they meet or exceed the original specification. Tolerance is not a limiting factor for substitution when the substitute provides equal or superior accuracy.

Temperature Coefficient: The main part specifies ±250ppm/°C. Substitute parts with ±200ppm/°C or ±250ppm/°C are acceptable within the operating temperature range specified.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct functional equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Substitution Compatibility:

All three substitute parts (ERJ-XGNJ472Y, RC0100FR-074K7L, and CRCW01004K70FREL) are functionally equivalent to the RC0402J472CS and are suitable for direct replacement in circuit applications. Selection among these options is based on availability, packaging format preference, and tolerance requirements.

Packaging Format Consideration:

The main part RC0402J472CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The substitute parts ERJ-XGNJ472Y, RC0100FR-074K7L, and CRCW01004K70FREL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both packaging formats are compatible for component placement and soldering operations; packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment configuration.

Tolerance Selection:

For applications requiring standard tolerance specifications, the ERJ-XGNJ472Y maintains the ±5% tolerance of the original part. For applications requiring tighter tolerance control, RC0100FR-074K7L and CRCW01004K70FREL offer ±1% tolerance, providing superior accuracy without additional cost or lead time considerations.

Compliance and Certification:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring compatibility with environmental and regulatory requirements applicable to the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-XGNJ472Y replace RC0402J472CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The ERJ-XGNJ472Y matches all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 4.7 kOhms resistance, ±5% tolerance, 0.03W power rating, 01005 package format, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. The only difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), which does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the advantage of using RC0100FR-074K7L or CRCW01004K70FREL?

A: Both parts offer ±1% tolerance compared to the ±5% tolerance of the original part. This tighter tolerance specification provides improved circuit accuracy and stability. All other electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent. These parts are suitable for applications where tolerance precision is a design requirement.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part and all substitutes, share identical physical dimensions of 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.006" (0.15mm). This ensures compatibility with PCB layouts and assembly processes without modification.

Q: Does the temperature coefficient difference affect substitution?

A: No. The main part specifies ±250ppm/°C, while ERJ-XGNJ472Y and RC0100FR-074K7L specify ±200ppm/°C. Both specifications are acceptable within the -55°C to 125°C operating range. The lower temperature coefficient of the substitute parts provides improved stability across temperature variations.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RC0402J472CS and all substitute parts (ERJ-XGNJ472Y, RC0100FR-074K7L, CRCW01004K70FREL) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating and REACH unaffected status, meeting all applicable environmental and regulatory standards.

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

A: Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied in shorter lengths suitable for lower-volume applications and manual component handling. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous reels suitable for automated assembly equipment and higher-volume production. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.
