Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1005F1373CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 137 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: 0.063W (1/16W) or higher ratings (0.1W / 1/10W) are acceptable as upgrades
• Features: Additional certifications (Automotive AEC-Q200, Moisture Resistant) do not disqualify substitution
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® are both acceptable

All substitute parts listed below meet or exceed the mandatory parameters of the RC1005F1373CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0402-FX-1373GLF be used as a direct replacement for RC1005F1373CS?

A: Yes. CR0402-FX-1373GLF meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 137 kOhms ±1% resistance, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL Level 1 rating. The part is functionally equivalent for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the RC1005F1373CS and ERJ-2RKF1373X?

A: The primary difference is power rating: RC1005F1373CS is rated at 0.063W (1/16W), while ERJ-2RKF1373X is rated at 0.1W (1/10W). All other electrical parameters are identical. ERJ-2RKF1373X includes Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. The higher power rating of ERJ-2RKF1373X makes it suitable as an upgrade for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q200) compatible with non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represents enhanced qualification and reliability testing. Parts meeting AEC-Q200 standards are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and may be used as direct substitutes without functional or compatibility issues.

Q: Does the packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format. Both Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® formats are suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Can I substitute RC0402FR-07137KL for RC1005F1373CS in moisture-sensitive applications?

A: Yes. RC0402FR-07137KL includes moisture-resistant construction and maintains MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the moisture-resistant specification of RC1005F1373CS. Both parts are suitable for moisture-sensitive applications without additional precautions.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling?

A: MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. No baking or desiccant storage is required prior to PCB assembly, simplifying logistics and inventory management.

Q: Are all listed substitute parts in active production?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability for design implementation and production.
