Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 14 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm (exact match required)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (required for substitution)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) (required for substitution)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (required for substitution)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Temperature Coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (main) vs ±100ppm/°C (substitute) — substitute provides superior temperature stability
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (main) vs -55°C to 155°C (substitute) — substitute provides extended upper temperature limit
• Moisture Resistant Feature: Present in main part; not specified in substitute — does not disqualify substitution

The CRCW020114K0FKED from Vishay Dale meets all mandatory matching parameters and regulatory requirements, qualifying it as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (RC0603F1402CS): Select the Samsung Electro-Mechanics RC0603F1402CS when inventory availability is confirmed and supply chain continuity is established. This part carries Active product status with full regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected) and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating suitable for standard manufacturing environments.

Substitute Part Selection (CRCW020114K0FKED): The Vishay Dale CRCW020114K0FKED qualifies as a direct substitute when the primary part is unavailable. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (14 kOhms ±1%, 0.05W), mechanical compatibility (0201 package, identical dimensions), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). The substitute offers performance advantages including superior temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C vs -55°C to 125°C), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal stability or operation at elevated temperatures.

Both parts are Active status products with full compliance documentation and are suitable for direct PCB assembly without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW020114K0FKED be used as a direct replacement for RC0603F1402CS without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (14 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package type (0201), physical dimensions (0.024" x 0.012"), and height (0.010" max). No PCB layout or schematic modifications are required.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Temperature Coefficient — Vishay substitute provides ±100ppm/°C versus Samsung's ±250ppm/°C, offering superior temperature stability; (2) Operating Temperature Range — Vishay substitute extends to 155°C maximum versus Samsung's 125°C maximum; (3) Manufacturer — Samsung Electro-Mechanics versus Vishay Dale; (4) Series designation — RC versus CRCW.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F1402CS and CRCW020114K0FKED carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected classification, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for both parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling procedures apply without special drying or baking requirements prior to assembly.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The CRCW020114K0FKED from Vishay Dale is suitable for applications requiring operation up to 155°C. The RC0603F1402CS is rated to 125°C maximum. Application temperature requirements should determine part selection.

Q: Are these parts available in packaging formats other than Tape & Reel?

A: The provided specifications indicate both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Alternative packaging formats are not documented in this reference.

Q: Can these 0201 package resistors be hand-soldered?

A: The 0201 (0603 Metric) package is a surface mount component designed for automated assembly processes. Hand soldering is not recommended due to component size and thermal management requirements.
