Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC6432F5361CS are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value of 5.36 kOhms, tolerance of ±1%, and power rating of 1W must match exactly.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package format must be 2512 (6432 Metric) with two terminations to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.

Environmental & Thermal Performance: Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C must be maintained.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required for equivalent substitution.

Composition: Thick film construction ensures consistent performance characteristics across the specified operating conditions.

The CRCW25125K36FKEG manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC6432F5361CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC6432F5361CS and CRCW25125K36FKEG are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. The RC6432F5361CS features moisture-resistant construction, while the CRCW25125K36FKEG carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: the Samsung component is suitable for general industrial applications requiring moisture resistance, while the Vishay Dale component is specified for automotive environments requiring AEC-Q200 certification. Both components maintain identical electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and package compatibility for direct substitution in 2512 footprint designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW25125K36FKEG replace the RC6432F5361CS in any application?

A: The CRCW25125K36FKEG is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RC6432F5361CS. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package format, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is that the Vishay Dale part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications where the Samsung part may not be specified.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: The parts are dimensionally equivalent for PCB placement. The RC6432F5361CS measures 0.248" L x 0.126" W (6.30mm x 3.20mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). The CRCW25125K36FKEG measures 0.248" L x 0.124" W (6.30mm x 3.15mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). These minor dimensional variations fall within standard PCB footprint tolerances for the 2512 package.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating mean for these components?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake requirements. Both the RC6432F5361CS and CRCW25125K36FKEG carry MSL 1 ratings, meaning they can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the RC6432F5361CS and CRCW25125K36FKEG are ROHS3 compliant, meeting all current regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What is the difference between the moisture-resistant feature of the Samsung part and the AEC-Q200 qualification of the Vishay Dale part?

A: The moisture-resistant feature of the RC6432F5361CS addresses environmental protection in general industrial applications. The AEC-Q200 qualification of the CRCW25125K36FKEG is an automotive industry standard that encompasses reliability testing, including moisture resistance, thermal cycling, and other automotive-specific performance criteria. AEC-Q200 qualification is required for automotive applications but is not necessary for general industrial use.
