Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE0402FRE072K2L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Resistance value must be 2.2 kOhms with ±1% tolerance to ensure circuit performance specifications are maintained. The package format must be 0402 (1005 Metric) to guarantee mechanical compatibility with PCB footprints and assembly processes. Power rating must be 0.063W (1/16W) or greater to handle the same thermal load. Composition must be thick film to maintain consistent electrical characteristics. Operating temperature range must encompass or match -55°C to 155°C. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required for regulatory and manufacturing compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMCF0402FT2K20 from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute for the RE0402FRE072K2L. Both components share identical electrical specifications: 2.2 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, and 0.063W power rating. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching 0402 (1005 Metric) package dimensions and footprint requirements. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and manufacturing process compatibility. The RMCF0402FT2K20 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional quality assurance level beyond the base specification. The maximum seated height difference of 0.001" (0.03mm) between the two parts is within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact board-level placement or clearance. Both parts are Active status products with established supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0402FT2K20 be used as a direct replacement for RE0402FRE072K2L?

A: Yes. Both parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements: 2.2 kOhms ±1%, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package format, thick film composition, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. ROHS3 and MSL 1 compliance are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the RMCF0402FT2K20?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard that certifies the component for automotive applications. This rating does not restrict use in non-automotive applications and indicates additional quality and reliability testing has been performed.

Q: Does the 0.001" height difference between parts affect PCB assembly?

A: No. The maximum seated height difference of 0.001" (0.03mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not impact placement, reflow, or clearance requirements for 0402 components.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both the RE0402FRE072K2L and RMCF0402FT2K20 operate across -55°C to 155°C, supporting industrial and automotive temperature ranges.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated PCB assembly processes.
