Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/8K1502FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard tolerances, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not disqualify substitution eligibility when core parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CRG1206F15K (TE Connectivity) and RMCF1206FT15K0 (Stackpole Electronics) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. CRG1206F15K is available in Tape & Reel packaging matching the original format. RMCF1206FT15K0 offers the highest inventory level (172,342 pieces) and is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status, Alternative Packaging):

RC1206FR-0715KL (YAGEO) and RMCF1206FG15K0 (Stackpole Electronics) are Active products supplied in Cut Tape format. These are suitable for applications where tape format conversion is acceptable during assembly.

Conditional Substitute (Automotive Applications):

ERJ-8ENF1502V (Panasonic) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for automotive circuit applications. However, this part is designated "Not For New Designs," limiting its use to legacy design support or existing production lines requiring continuity.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8533.21.0030, matching the regulatory profile of the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF1206FT15K0 replace RMC1/8K1502FTP in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (15 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and package designation (1206). Both are supplied in Tape & Reel format. Physical dimensions vary within standard tolerances (height 0.028" vs. 0.025" maximum seated height), which does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape supplies components on tape segments, typically for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1502V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. The part remains available for existing production support and legacy applications. For new designs, CRG1206F15K or RMCF1206FT15K0 are preferred.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification, matching the regulatory requirement of the original RMC1/8K1502FTP.

Q: Can I use RC1206FR-0715KL if my assembly line requires Tape & Reel format?

A: RC1206FR-0715KL is supplied in Cut Tape format. If your assembly equipment requires Tape & Reel format, select CRG1206F15K or RMCF1206FT15K0 instead.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient specifies resistance change per degree Celsius. ±100ppm/°C means the resistance value changes by a maximum of 0.01% per °C across the operating temperature range. All substitute parts maintain this specification, ensuring equivalent thermal stability.

Q: Are there inventory differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. RMCF1206FT15K0 has the highest inventory (172,342 pieces), followed by RC1206FR-0715KL (39,600 pieces), CRG1206F15K (20,749 pieces), RMCF1206FG15K0 (1,025 pieces), and ERJ-8ENF1502V (1,105 pieces). Inventory levels influence lead time and availability for high-volume production.
