Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RK73G1HTTC2002F are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

  • Resistance value: 20 kOhms
  • Tolerance: ±1%
  • Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
  • Package format: 0201 (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
  • Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200

Important Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

  • Composition: Thick Film
  • Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
  • Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Substitution Basis: Parts are considered equivalent when they maintain identical electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, power), identical physical package dimensions, and equivalent or superior environmental ratings. The RK73G series designation indicates parts within the same product family. Substitutes must retain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification to ensure reliability in automotive applications.
