Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RE1206FRE0720KL is determined by the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 20 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)
• RoHS3 compliance: Required
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better (exact match or superior acceptable)

The CRCW120620K0FHEAP from Vishay Dale meets all substitution criteria while providing additional automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RE1206FRE0720KL and CRCW120620K0FHEAP are Active status components with identical electrical and thermal specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements:

• For general industrial and consumer applications, either part is suitable based on availability and cost considerations.
• For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, the CRCW120620K0FHEAP is the appropriate selection.
• Both components maintain full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120620K0FHEAP be used as a direct replacement for RE1206FRE0720KL?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (20 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±50ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), package dimensions (1206), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary difference is automotive qualification. The CRCW120620K0FHEAP carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating qualification for automotive applications. The RE1206FRE0720KL does not specify automotive qualification. Electrical and thermal performance are identical.

Q: Are there any dimensional concerns when substituting?

A: Both components use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. The RE1206FRE0720KL has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm), while the CRCW120620K0FHEAP has a maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). Length dimensions are 0.122" (3.10mm) and 0.126" (3.20mm) respectively. These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Do both parts require the same handling and storage conditions?

A: Yes. Both components have MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard ESD precautions apply to both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application context. For automotive applications, specify CRCW120620K0FHEAP. For non-automotive applications, either part is acceptable based on supply chain and cost factors.
