RC6432F2150CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC6432F2150CS is a 215 Ohms ±1% 1W chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2512 (6432 Metric) package format. This thick film, moisture-resistant component operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C and maintains ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. The part is currently in active production status with 1114 units available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align with the original component, enabling direct replacement in applications where the main part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC6432F2150CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value must be 215 Ohms with ±1% tolerance. Power rating must be 1W. Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C minimum.

Mechanical Specifications: Package format must be 2512 (6432 Metric). Physical dimensions must be compatible with 0.248" L x 0.126" W footprint (6.30mm x 3.20mm). Number of terminations must be 2.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance is required. Moisture Sensitivity Level must be 1 (Unlimited). REACH Unaffected status must be maintained. Composition must be thick film.

The identified substitute CRCW2512215RFKEG from Vishay Dale meets all these criteria while adding automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for direct replacement in standard applications and enhanced for automotive environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC6432F2150CS and CRCW2512215RFKEG are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The primary distinction is that the Vishay Dale CRCW2512215RFKEG carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for automotive applications but does not restrict use in standard industrial or consumer applications.

Physical dimensions show minimal variation: the Vishay part width is 0.002" (0.05mm) narrower and seated height is 0.002" (0.04mm) taller than the Samsung part. These differences remain within standard PCB layout tolerances for 2512 package components and do not constitute a functional limitation.

Selection between these parts should be based on supplier availability, lead time requirements, and application-specific qualification needs. Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2512215RFKEG replace RC6432F2150CS in any application?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (215 Ohms ±1%, 1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), identical package format (2512), and equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). Physical dimension variations are negligible for standard PCB assembly.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard for passive components. This certification indicates the Vishay part has undergone additional reliability testing for automotive environments. It does not restrict the part's use in non-automotive applications; it only confirms enhanced qualification status.

Q: Are there dimensional concerns with the height difference?

A: The 0.002" (0.04mm) height difference between parts is within standard manufacturing tolerances for 2512 package components and does not affect PCB assembly, clearance, or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both RC6432F2150CS and CRCW2512215RFKEG carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions and no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, provided your design and supply chain documentation are updated to reflect the substitution. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical requirements and carry equivalent compliance certifications.
