• Resistance value: 160 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 1W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

The RC2512JK-07160KL manufactured by YAGEO meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC6432J164CS and RC2512JK-07160KL are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making them suitable for applications requiring regulatory adherence. The dimensional variations between manufacturers are within acceptable tolerances for 2512 package specifications, with both parts maintaining identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range. Selection between these parts may be based on procurement availability, supply chain logistics, or existing vendor qualification requirements. The RC2512JK-07160KL from YAGEO currently maintains higher inventory levels (9185 pieces) compared to the Samsung part (675 pieces), which may influence lead time considerations for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2512JK-07160KL be used as a direct replacement for RC6432J164CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (160 kOhms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (1W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both use 2512 (6432 Metric) packaging with two terminations. Dimensional variations (length 6.30mm vs 6.35mm, width 3.20mm vs 3.10mm, height 0.66mm vs 0.65mm) are within standard package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance status is identical.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The RC6432J164CS is supplied in standard packaging format, while the RC2512JK-07160KL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects handling and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the full operating range of -55°C to 155°C.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes, provided that procurement and assembly processes accommodate both packaging formats and manufacturer part numbers are properly tracked for traceability and quality documentation purposes.
