RC6432F204CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC6432F204CS is a 200 kOhms ±1% 1W thick film chip resistor in 2512 (6432 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count) are maintained across different manufacturers. Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain continuity, inventory availability, or specific application requirements such as automotive qualification or enhanced pulse withstanding capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package / Case: 2512 (6432 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (preferred for primary substitutes)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Substitutes (Full Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence): Parts meeting all electrical, mechanical, and compliance criteria with identical power rating (1W) and standard features.

Enhanced Capability Substitutes (Electrical Equivalence with Additional Features): Parts maintaining all electrical and mechanical specifications but offering supplementary qualifications (automotive AEC-Q200, pulse withstanding capability) or higher power ratings (1.5W).

Legacy/Restricted Substitutes (Electrical Equivalence with Compliance Limitations): Parts meeting electrical and mechanical specifications but with non-compliant or affected regulatory status, suitable only for applications where such limitations are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended for New Designs):

RC2512FK-07200KL (YAGEO) and RMCF2512FT200K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are the preferred direct substitutes. Both maintain identical electrical specifications, ROHS3 compliance, and Active product status. RC2512FK-07200KL offers high inventory availability (16,590 pcs). RMCF2512FT200K provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with equivalent specifications and Active status.

Enhanced Capability Substitute:

CRCW2512200KFKEGHP (Vishay Dale) is suitable when pulse withstanding capability and higher power margin (1.5W) are required within the same package footprint. This part maintains ROHS3 compliance and Active status while providing automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Standard Automotive-Qualified Substitute:

CRCW2512200KFKEG (Vishay Dale) provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with standard 1W power rating, ROHS3 compliance, and Active status. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components without enhanced pulse withstanding requirements.

Legacy Substitute (Restricted Use):

ERJ-1TNF2003U (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications with ROHS3 compliance but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. Use only for replacement or maintenance of existing designs.

Non-Compliant Substitute (Restricted Use):

CRCW2512200KFKTG (Vishay Dale) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Use only in applications where regulatory compliance exemptions apply or for legacy system maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2512FK-07200KL replace RC6432F204CS directly in production?

A: Yes. RC2512FK-07200KL maintains identical electrical specifications (200 kOhms ±1%, 1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), 2512 package compatibility, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Dimensional variations (6.35 × 3.10mm vs. 6.30 × 3.20mm) and height (0.65mm vs. 0.66mm) are within standard PCB layout tolerances for 2512 components.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW2512200KFKEG and CRCW2512200KFKEGHP?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent (200 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C, 2512 package, ROHS3 compliant). The primary difference is power rating: CRCW2512200KFKEG is rated 1W, while CRCW2512200KFKEGHP is rated 1.5W with pulse withstanding capability. Select CRCW2512200KFKEGHP when applications require higher transient energy absorption or pulse margin.

Q: Why is ERJ-1TNF2003U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-1TNF2003U carries "Not For New Designs" status from Panasonic, indicating the manufacturer is phasing out this product line. While electrically and mechanically equivalent to RC6432F204CS, it should not be selected for new product development. Use RMCF2512FT200K, RC2512FK-07200KL, or CRCW2512200KFKEG for new designs.

Q: Is CRCW2512200KFKTG suitable for my application?

A: CRCW2512200KFKTG is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Use only if your application is exempt from RoHS/REACH regulations or if replacement of legacy components is required. For new designs, select ROHS3-compliant alternatives.

Q: Do all substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint?

A: All substitute parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package with 2 terminations. Dimensional variations exist within standard tolerances: length ranges from 6.30mm to 6.40mm, width from 3.10mm to 3.20mm, and height from 0.65mm to 0.70mm. These variations are accommodated by standard 2512 PCB land patterns. Verify your specific PCB design tolerances if tight clearances are present.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability?

A: RC2512FK-07200KL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory (16,590 pcs), followed by CRCW2512200KFKEGHP (Vishay Dale, 9,888 pcs) and ERJ-1TNF2003U (Panasonic, 8,159 pcs). For immediate availability, RC2512FK-07200KL is the optimal choice.

Q: Are all substitutes automotive-qualified?

A: No. RC6432F204CS (Samsung) and RC2512FK-07200KL (YAGEO) do not carry automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. CRCW2512200KFKEG, CRCW2512200KFKEGHP, CRCW2512200KFKTG, ERJ-1TNF2003U, and RMCF2512FT200K all carry AEC-Q200 qualification. Select automotive-qualified parts for automotive applications.

Q: Can I use a 1.5W part (CRCW2512200KFKEGHP) where a 1W part is specified?

A: Yes. A higher power-rated component (1.5W) is electrically backward-compatible with a 1W specification. The 1.5W rating provides additional thermal margin and pulse withstanding capability. Verify that PCB thermal design and component placement accommodate the slightly higher maximum height (0.70mm vs. 0.66mm).
