Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC6432F5360CS are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 536 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 1W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package format: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 or better
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The CRCW2512536RFKEG from Vishay Dale meets all substitution criteria. Both components share identical electrical specifications, operate within the same temperature range, utilize thick film construction in the 2512 package, and maintain equivalent compliance certifications. The Vishay component includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional quality assurance level beyond the base requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC6432F5360CS and CRCW2512536RFKEG are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making either suitable for new designs and production applications. The Samsung component is available with 840 pieces in current inventory, while the Vishay Dale substitute offers 4,267 pieces in stock with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, supply chain requirements, and application-specific quality standards. The dimensional compatibility between the two components (width variance of 0.002" and height variance of 0.002") presents no functional impact for standard PCB assembly processes. Both components maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and tolerance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW2512536RFKEG directly replace the RC6432F5360CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (536 Ohms ±1%, 1W, ±100ppm/°C), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and utilize the 2512 (6432 Metric) package format. Dimensional variations (0.002" width and 0.002" height differences) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect circuit performance or board layout compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay component?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard that certifies component reliability under automotive operating conditions. The CRCW2512536RFKEG carries this certification, indicating additional quality assurance testing. This does not prevent use in non-automotive applications; it represents an enhanced quality level beyond base specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these two parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Compliance certifications are equivalent, and both parts meet the same regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial applications.

Q: How do the inventory levels affect component selection?

A: The Samsung RC6432F5360CS has 840 pieces available, while the Vishay CRCW2512536RFKEG has 4,267 pieces in stock. For applications requiring immediate availability or large production quantities, the Vishay component offers superior supply position. For smaller volume requirements, either component is suitable based on delivery timeline needs.

Q: What packaging format is supplied for each part?

A: The RC6432F5360CS is supplied in standard packaging format. The CRCW2512536RFKEG is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Both formats are compatible with standard SMD assembly equipment.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients identical between these components?

A: Yes. Both the RC6432F5360CS and CRCW2512536RFKEG maintain a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C across the full operating range of -55°C to 155°C, ensuring equivalent performance stability across temperature variations.
