Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components—RGC1206FTC100K, CRCW1206100KFHEAP, and RE1206FRE07100KL—are Active product status and meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on:

• Availability: CRCW1206100KFHEAP (Vishay Dale) and RE1206FRE07100KL (YAGEO) offer higher inventory levels (15,966 and 13,419 units respectively) compared to RGC1206FTC100K (708 units).
• Automotive qualification: CRCW1206100KFHEAP carries AEC-Q200 automotive rating, suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.
• Dimensional tolerance: Physical dimensions vary slightly across manufacturers (length 0.122" to 0.126", height 0.024" to 0.030"), which may impact PCB layout in space-constrained designs.

All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206100KFHEAP replace RGC1206FTC100K directly?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (100 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±50ppm/°C) and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The 1206 package designation ensures mechanical compatibility. Minor dimensional variations (0.004" length difference, 0.006" height difference) are within standard PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 rating on CRCW1206100KFHEAP?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. This rating indicates the component meets automotive industry reliability and performance requirements. It is not required for general industrial or consumer applications but provides additional assurance for automotive-grade designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RGC1206FTC100K, CRCW1206100KFHEAP, and RE1206FRE07100KL are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for EU and global markets.

Q: Does MSL rating affect component substitution?

A: All three parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling requirements are identical across all substitute options.

Q: How do dimensional differences impact PCB design?

A: The 1206 package standard allows for minor dimensional variations. Length ranges from 0.122" to 0.126" and height from 0.024" to 0.030". These variations are within standard PCB footprint tolerances and do not require design modifications for direct substitution.
