Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC6432J184CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 180 kOhms
• Power rating: 1W
• Package / Case: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Features: Moisture Resistant
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Tolerance Variation: Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on tolerance specification. Direct substitutes maintain ±5% tolerance matching the original part. Upgrade substitutes provide tighter ±1% tolerance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2512JK-07180KL (YAGEO Direct Substitute): This part provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC6432J184CS. Both components maintain identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. The YAGEO RC2512JK-07180KL is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the original part. Inventory availability is 8659 pieces. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where the original Samsung part is unavailable and direct specification matching is required.

RC2512FK-07180KL (YAGEO Upgrade Substitute): This part provides enhanced tolerance specification at ±1% compared to the original ±5% tolerance while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. The RC2512FK-07180KL is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance within the same 2512 package footprint. Regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH unaffected) is maintained. Inventory availability is 9031 pieces. Selection of this upgrade substitute is appropriate when improved tolerance performance is beneficial to circuit design without requiring package or thermal characteristic changes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2512JK-07180KL be used as a direct replacement for RC6432J184CS?

A: Yes. The RC2512JK-07180KL maintains identical electrical specifications (180 kOhms ±5%, 1W) and mechanical compatibility (2512 package, 6.35mm x 3.10mm dimensions, 0.65mm max height). Both components are thick film, moisture resistant, with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Regulatory compliance is equivalent (ROHS3, REACH unaffected).

Q: What is the difference between RC2512JK-07180KL and RC2512FK-07180KL?

A: The primary difference is tolerance specification. RC2512JK-07180KL maintains ±5% tolerance matching the original RC6432J184CS. RC2512FK-07180KL provides tighter ±1% tolerance. All other parameters including resistance value, power rating, package, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating range are identical.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between all three parts?

A: The parts are mechanically compatible within PCB design tolerances. RC6432J184CS dimensions are 0.248" L x 0.126" W (6.30mm x 3.20mm) with 0.66mm max height. YAGEO substitutes are 0.250" L x 0.122" W (6.35mm x 3.10mm) with 0.65mm max height. Dimensional variations are within standard thick film chip resistor manufacturing tolerances for the 2512 package class.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same environmental and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Operating temperature range is -55°C to 155°C across all parts. Temperature coefficient is ±100ppm/°C for all components.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on tolerance requirements. For applications where ±5% tolerance is acceptable, RC2512JK-07180KL provides direct equivalence. For applications requiring tighter tolerance control, RC2512FK-07180KL offers ±1% specification. Both parts are Active status with adequate inventory availability.
