RMC1/8K2702FTP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RMC1/8K2702FTP is a 27 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Kamaya Inc. in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package format. This component is classified as Active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). The part is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design specifications allow for functionally equivalent alternatives from qualified manufacturers. All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility within the 1206 package standard.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/8K2702FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 27 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All five substitute parts listed meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification, packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and additional certifications (AEC-Q200, High Voltage, Moisture Resistant) do not disqualify substitution but represent secondary differentiators for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RMC1/8K2702FTP based on core parameters. Selection among alternatives is determined by product lifecycle status and compliance requirements:

Active Product Status: CRG1206F27K (TE Connectivity), KTR18EZPF2702 (Rohm), RC1206FR-0727KL (YAGEO), and RMCF1206FT27K0 (Stackpole) maintain Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability for new designs.

Not For New Designs Status: ERJ-8ENF2702V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" classification. This part remains functionally equivalent but is designated for legacy system support only.

RoHS3 Compliance: Five of six substitute parts (all except RMC1/8K2702FTP) explicitly declare ROHS3 Compliant status. For applications requiring environmental compliance documentation, these five alternatives provide certified compliance records.

Automotive Qualification: Three substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification: ERJ-8ENF2702V (Panasonic), KTR18EZPF2702 (Rohm), and RMCF1206FT27K0 (Stackpole). Applications requiring automotive-grade components should select from these three options.

High Voltage Feature: KTR18EZPF2702 (Rohm) includes High Voltage designation in addition to AEC-Q200 rating, providing enhanced capability for high-voltage circuit applications.

Moisture Resistance Feature: RC1206FR-0727KL (YAGEO) includes Moisture Resistant feature designation, suitable for applications with elevated humidity exposure requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute any of these parts for the RMC1/8K2702FTP in my circuit design?

A: All listed substitute parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters (27 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, 1206 package, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range). Direct substitution is electrically valid. However, if your design specifies Active product status only, avoid ERJ-8ENF2702V. If RoHS3 compliance is required, select from the five alternatives that explicitly declare ROHS3 Compliant status.

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

A: Both packaging formats contain identical components. Tape & Reel packaging is optimized for high-volume automated assembly with continuous reel feed. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging is suitable for lower-volume production or manual assembly processes. RC1206FR-0727KL is supplied in Cut Tape format; all other substitutes use Tape & Reel format.

Q: Why does ERJ-8ENF2702V have "Not For New Designs" status?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has transitioned this product line and is not recommending it for new circuit designs. The part remains functionally equivalent and available for legacy system maintenance and repair. For new designs, select from the four alternatives with Active status: CRG1206F27K, KTR18EZPF2702, RC1206FR-0727KL, or RMCF1206FT27K0.

Q: Which substitute should I select for automotive applications?

A: Three substitutes carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification: ERJ-8ENF2702V (Panasonic), KTR18EZPF2702 (Rohm), and RMCF1206FT27K0 (Stackpole). For new automotive designs, KTR18EZPF2702 or RMCF1206FT27K0 are preferred due to Active product status. KTR18EZPF2702 additionally includes High Voltage capability.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor variations exist within 1206 package specification. Length ranges from 0.122" to 0.126" (3.10mm to 3.20mm), width from 0.061" to 0.063" (1.55mm to 1.60mm), and height from 0.025" to 0.028" (0.65mm to 0.70mm). These variations remain within 1206 package tolerance and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or assembly processes.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 rating indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts, including the main part RMC1/8K2702FTP, carry this rating and do not require dry-pack storage or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Mixing different manufacturers in the same assembly is acceptable from a functional standpoint. However, for traceability and quality control documentation, many manufacturers prefer consistent sourcing from a single supplier per production lot.
