Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RE0402FRE072KL is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 2 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.063W, 1/16W (exact match required)
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (minimum requirement)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (minimum requirement)

The RMCF0402FT2K00 from Stackpole Electronics Inc meets all electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution. This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications while providing additional automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RE0402FRE072KL and RMCF0402FT2K00 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, making them suitable for general industrial applications. The RMCF0402FT2K00 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for automotive-grade applications. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements: use the YAGEO part for standard industrial designs, or the Stackpole part for automotive or mission-critical applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0402FT2K00 replace RE0402FRE072KL in any application?

A: Yes, the RMCF0402FT2K00 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for direct substitution. The identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package ensure functional equivalence. The AEC-Q200 qualification of the Stackpole part provides additional reliability for automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts?

A: The RE0402FRE072KL has a temperature coefficient of ±50ppm/°C, while the RMCF0402FT2K00 has ±100ppm/°C. Both operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Applications requiring tighter temperature stability should specify the YAGEO part.

Q: Are there physical size differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Both parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical length and width (0.039" L x 0.020" W). The seated height differs slightly: RE0402FRE072KL is 0.015" (0.37mm) maximum, while RMCF0402FT2K00 is 0.016" (0.40mm) maximum. This minimal difference does not affect standard PCB design.

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: The RMCF0402FT2K00 is recommended for automotive applications due to its AEC-Q200 qualification. The RE0402FRE072KL is suitable for general industrial use.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the RE0402FRE072KL and RMCF0402FT2K00 are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
