Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1005F3652CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: resistance value (36.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package format (0402 / 1005 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on additional features and certifications:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical power ratings (0.063W / 1/16W) and baseline specifications without additional automotive or enhanced feature qualifications.

Upgrade Options provide enhanced power ratings (0.1W / 1/10W) or automotive AEC-Q200 qualification while maintaining all core electrical parameters.

Similar Parts include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or alternative moisture-resistant features while preserving the 0.063W power rating and core specifications.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, feature MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, and operate across the identical temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (Identical Specifications)

CR0402-FX-3652GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0402FR-0736K5L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC1005F3652CS. Both parts maintain identical electrical parameters, package format, and power rating. RC0402FR-0736K5L includes moisture-resistant construction matching the original part specification. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry active product status.

For Automotive Applications

AC0402FR-0736K5L (YAGEO), CRCW040236K5FKED (Vishay Dale), and RMCF0402FT36K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards while maintaining the 0.063W power rating and all core electrical specifications. AC0402FR-0736K5L additionally includes moisture-resistant features. All three are ROHS3 compliant with active product status.

For Enhanced Power Dissipation

ERJ-2RKF3652X (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides an upgrade option with 0.1W (1/10W) power rating while maintaining all other electrical parameters and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal headroom within the 0402 package format.

Compliance Consideration

CRCW040236K5FKTD (Vishay Dale) carries RoHS non-compliance and REACH-affected status. This part is not recommended for new designs or applications with regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0402-FX-3652GLF replace RC1005F3652CS in all applications?

A: CR0402-FX-3652GLF is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RC1005F3652CS across all core parameters: 36.5 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. The primary difference is the absence of explicit moisture-resistant features in the CR0402 series. For applications where moisture resistance is not a design requirement, direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.063W and 0.1W power-rated options?

A: ERJ-2RKF3652X provides 0.1W (1/10W) power dissipation compared to the standard 0.063W (1/16W) rating of the RC1005F3652CS. This higher power rating allows the resistor to dissipate greater thermal energy without exceeding temperature limits. The 0.1W option is suitable for circuits with higher current flow through the resistor. All other electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: No. Only AC0402FR-0736K5L, CRCW040236K5FKED, CRCW040236K5FKTD, RMCF0402FT36K5, and ERJ-2RKF3652X carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. CR0402-FX-3652GLF and RC0402FR-0736K5L do not include automotive certification. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life and no moisture bake-out requirement prior to soldering. All listed substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing processes and storage conditions without special handling procedures.

Q: Why is CRCW040236K5FKTD marked as RoHS non-compliant?

A: CRCW040236K5FKTD does not meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and is REACH-affected. This part is not suitable for applications subject to European Union environmental regulations or customer specifications requiring RoHS compliance. ROHS3-compliant alternatives are available.

Q: Can moisture-resistant and non-moisture-resistant versions be used interchangeably?

A: Moisture-resistant and standard thick film versions are electrically equivalent and mechanically compatible. Selection between moisture-resistant (RC1005F3652CS, RC0402FR-0736K5L, AC0402FR-0736K5L) and standard versions (CR0402-FX-3652GLF, CRCW040236K5FKED, RMCF0402FT36K5) depends on application environment and design specifications. Moisture-resistant versions provide enhanced reliability in humid or high-moisture environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, matching the original RC1005F3652CS packaging specification for automated assembly compatibility.
