Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC6432F3652CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 36.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 1W
• Package: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

Both identified substitute parts (CRCW251236K5FKEG and CRCW251236K5FKTG) manufactured by Vishay Dale meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts are functionally equivalent for direct replacement in applications requiring the specified resistance, tolerance, and power characteristics. Differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and compliance certifications are noted for application-specific selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW251236K5FKEG Selection Criteria: This substitute part is suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides additional reliability assurance for demanding environments. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes. This part is recommended for new designs with compliance requirements matching the specified certifications.

CRCW251236K5FKTG Selection Criteria: This substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications where automotive-grade reliability is required. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected, restricting its use to applications where such compliance is not mandated. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly. Selection of this part requires verification that regulatory restrictions do not apply to the end application.

RC6432F3652CS (Primary Part) Selection Criteria: The Samsung part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or applications where tape format is not required. This part remains the preferred choice for applications with no specific automotive qualification requirement and where compliance certifications are mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW251236K5FKEG directly replace RC6432F3652CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (36.5 kOhms ±1%, 1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and package dimensions (2512 metric). Physical dimensions show minor variations in width (3.15mm vs 3.20mm) and height (0.70mm vs 0.66mm), which remain within standard PCB layout tolerances. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW251236K5FKEG and CRCW251236K5FKTG? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. The key differences are regulatory compliance: CRCW251236K5FKEG is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, while CRCW251236K5FKTG is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements of the target application and end market.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between these parts? A: All three parts share identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Thermal performance is equivalent across all substitutes.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging affect electrical performance? A: No. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical and thermal characteristics remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay parts? A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification demonstrating enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance. This certification is relevant only for applications requiring automotive-grade components. For non-automotive applications, this qualification provides no functional advantage.

Q: Can RC6432F3652CS be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance? A: Yes. The RC6432F3652CS is ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination in applicable markets.
