Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F2492CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 24.9 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) (exact match)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.010" (0.26mm) (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

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

Substitute parts must satisfy all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria simultaneously. Temperature coefficient and operating temperature range variations are permitted within the scope of component functionality, provided the substitute operates within or exceeds the original component's specified range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW020124K9FKED manufactured by Vishay Dale qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC0603F2492CS. Both components are Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The Vishay Dale substitute demonstrates enhanced performance characteristics: the temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C provides superior frequency stability compared to the Samsung component's ±250ppm/°C specification. The extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C exceeds the original component's -55°C to 125°C range, offering broader thermal application capability.

All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical between the two components, including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and termination configuration. Selection between these components may be based on availability, supply chain considerations, or application-specific thermal requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW020124K9FKED replace RC0603F2492CS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (24.9 kOhms ±1%, 0.05W), mechanical dimensions (0201 package, 0.60mm x 0.30mm), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these components?

A: The RC0603F2492CS has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the CRCW020124K9FKED has ±100ppm/°C. The Vishay component exhibits superior frequency stability across temperature variations. This difference is relevant only in precision analog circuits where temperature-dependent resistance drift is a design constraint.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the Vishay component affect compatibility?

A: No. The CRCW020124K9FKED's extended range (-55°C to 155°C) encompasses the original component's range (-55°C to 125°C). The substitute is compatible with all applications designed for the Samsung component and supports additional high-temperature applications.

Q: Are both components available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F2492CS and CRCW020124K9FKED are supplied in 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W, 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height (0.010" / 0.26mm). Both are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences that would affect circuit operation?

A: No. The resistance value (24.9 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.05W) are identical. The temperature coefficient difference affects only long-term stability in temperature-sensitive applications. For standard circuit applications, both components deliver equivalent electrical performance.
