Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC6432F824CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 820 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 1W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

The ERJ-1TNF8203U manufactured by Panasonic Electronic Components satisfies all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. The package dimensions and termination configuration are compatible with the RC6432F824CS footprint. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC6432F824CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): This component is in active production status and is the primary selection for new designs. Current inventory of 670 pieces supports immediate procurement. The part carries ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

ERJ-1TNF8203U (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries a "Not For New Designs" status. The ERJ-1TNF8203U includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. This part is appropriate for legacy design support, field replacements, or applications where automotive-grade specifications are mandated. Inventory availability is higher at 5331 pieces.

The dimensional variance between the two parts (length difference of 0.004" and height difference of 0.002") falls within standard PCB layout tolerances for 2512 package components and does not affect functional compatibility or board-level assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-1TNF8203U be used as a direct replacement for RC6432F824CS in new designs?

A: The ERJ-1TNF8203U is electrically and mechanically equivalent and will function identically in the circuit. However, the part carries "Not For New Designs" status from the manufacturer. New designs should specify RC6432F824CS as the primary component. The Panasonic part is appropriate for legacy support or field replacements where the original part is unavailable.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: Both parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package format with compatible footprints. The ERJ-1TNF8203U is 0.004" longer and 0.002" taller than the RC6432F824CS. These differences are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect assembly or functionality.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the ERJ-1TNF8203U?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard that certifies component reliability under automotive operating conditions. This certification is relevant only if your application requires automotive-grade components. For standard industrial or commercial applications, this certification provides no functional advantage.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC6432F824CS and ERJ-1TNF8203U are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: RC6432F824CS is supplied in standard packaging format. ERJ-1TNF8203U is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format affects only procurement and assembly processes.
