RC2010FK-0723K7L Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC2010FK-0723K7L is a 23.7 kOhms ±1% 0.75W chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format. This thick film resistor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring moisture resistance and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when they maintain identical electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and package dimensions while potentially offering different manufacturing sources or enhanced certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC2010FK-0723K7L is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 23.7 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.75W
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3

The CRCW201023K7FKEF from Vishay Dale meets all these electrical and mechanical requirements. The substitute part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Physical dimensions remain compatible: both parts measure 0.197" L × 0.098" W (5.00mm × 2.50mm), with maximum seated heights of 0.026" (0.65mm) for the main part and 0.028" (0.70mm) for the substitute, both within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC2010FK-0723K7L and CRCW201023K7FKEF are active production parts with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The CRCW201023K7FKEF carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability, cost considerations, and specific application requirements. The substitute part's AEC-Q200 rating does not introduce incompatibility; it represents an enhanced qualification level suitable for both general-purpose and automotive applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW201023K7FKEF be used as a direct replacement for RC2010FK-0723K7L?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (23.7 kOhms ±1%, 0.75W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm × 2.50mm). The maximum seated height difference (0.026" vs 0.028") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 on the substitute part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The CRCW201023K7FKEF meets this standard, making it suitable for automotive applications. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications; it indicates enhanced reliability testing and qualification.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Moisture sensitivity levels are identical (MSL 1, Unlimited). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Q: Does the 0.002" height difference affect PCB assembly?

A: No. The height difference (0.65mm vs 0.70mm) is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes and does not impact component placement, soldering, or clearance requirements.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for substitution?

A: Resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package format, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range must all match. These parameters determine functional equivalence in circuit applications.
