RC6432F202CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC6432F202CS is a 2 kOhms ±1% 1W chip resistor in 2512 (6432 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features moisture resistance and operates across -55°C to 155°C, making it suitable for general industrial and consumer applications. The part is currently active in production with 870 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design requirements shift toward automotive-grade components, or when enhanced performance characteristics such as higher power ratings or pulse withstanding capability are required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package type (2512), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories:

Direct Substitutes maintain all electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the main part. RC2512FK-072KL (YAGEO) qualifies as a direct substitute with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and environmental ratings.

Upgrade Substitutes exceed the main part specifications while maintaining full backward compatibility. AC2512FK-072KL (YAGEO) provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification in addition to the base specifications, enabling use in automotive applications where the original part cannot be deployed.

Similar Substitutes match core electrical parameters and package type but may differ in secondary characteristics such as power rating, product status, or compliance certifications. CRCW25122K00FKEG, CRCW25122K00FKEGHP, CRCW25122K00FKTG (Vishay Dale), ERJ-1TNF2001U (Panasonic), and RMCF2512FT2K00 (Stackpole) fall into this category. CRCW25122K00FKEGHP offers enhanced 1.5W power rating and pulse withstanding capability. ERJ-1TNF2001U carries "Not For New Designs" status. CRCW25122K00FKTG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement with identical specifications: RC2512FK-072KL (YAGEO) is the primary equivalent. Both parts are active, ROHS3 compliant, and carry identical electrical and thermal characteristics. This substitution requires no design modification.

For automotive applications: AC2512FK-072KL (YAGEO), CRCW25122K00FKEG (Vishay Dale), CRCW25122K00FKEGHP (Vishay Dale), CRCW25122K00FKTG (Vishay Dale), ERJ-1TNF2001U (Panasonic), or RMCF2512FT2K00 (Stackpole) are suitable. All carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. AC2512FK-072KL and RMCF2512FT2K00 are recommended for new automotive designs due to active product status and full compliance.

For enhanced power handling: CRCW25122K00FKEGHP offers 1.5W rating with pulse withstanding capability while maintaining the 2512 package footprint and all other core specifications.

For legacy system maintenance: ERJ-1TNF2001U remains available with 15,656 units in stock but carries "Not For New Designs" status. Use only for repair or sustaining engineering of existing products.

Compliance consideration: CRCW25122K00FKTG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Avoid for new designs targeting regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2512FK-072KL replace RC6432F202CS without design changes?

A: Yes. RC2512FK-072KL is a direct equivalent with identical resistance (2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (1W), package (2512), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). No circuit modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between RC2512FK-072KL and AC2512FK-072KL?

A: Both are YAGEO products with identical core specifications. AC2512FK-072KL adds automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, enabling deployment in automotive applications. AC2512FK-072KL is suitable for designs requiring automotive-grade components.

Q: Why does CRCW25122K00FKEGHP have a different power rating?

A: CRCW25122K00FKEGHP is rated at 1.5W versus the standard 1W. This higher rating, combined with pulse withstanding capability, makes it suitable for applications with transient power demands. The 2512 package dimensions remain identical, allowing direct footprint compatibility.

Q: Is ERJ-1TNF2001U suitable for new product designs?

A: No. ERJ-1TNF2001U carries "Not For New Designs" status from Panasonic. It remains available for repair and sustaining engineering of existing products but should not be selected for new development.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All listed parts carry this rating, meaning they can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can CRCW25122K00FKTG be used in RoHS-regulated applications?

A: No. CRCW25122K00FKTG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. It cannot be used in designs targeting regulated markets such as the European Union or applications requiring RoHS certification.

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

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.
