RMC1/8K2873FTP Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RMC1/8K2873FTP is a 287 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Kamaya Inc. in 1206 (3216 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status with 1130 units in current inventory. The RMC series resistor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring precision resistance values with standard operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. Substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain continuity, alternative sourcing options, or specific application requirements such as automotive qualification or enhanced moisture resistance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/8K2873FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 287 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: MSL 1

All four substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Dimensional variations within supplier device package specifications (length 0.120" to 0.126", height 0.025" to 0.028") remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for 1206 package footprints. All parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): RC1206FR-07287KL (YAGEO) and RMCF1206FT287K (Stackpole) are both classified as Active products with current manufacturing status. RC1206FR-07287KL includes moisture-resistant construction. RMCF1206FT287K carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both are suitable for new designs and long-term supply chain planning.

Secondary Selection (Limited Availability): ERJ-8ENF2873V (Panasonic) is marked "Not For New Designs" and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance applications where existing designs already specify this component.

Discontinued Status: MCR18ERTF2873 (Rohm) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. This part should not be selected for new designs or long-term applications despite current inventory availability (8376 units).

All substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RMC1/8K2873FTP. Selection should prioritize product status (Active preferred), compliance certifications (ROHS3 Compliant), and application-specific requirements (automotive AEC-Q200 or moisture resistance).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-8ENF2873V replace RMC1/8K2873FTP in new designs? A: No. ERJ-8ENF2873V is marked "Not For New Designs." This part is restricted to replacement applications only. Use RC1206FR-07287KL or RMCF1206FT287K for new designs.

Q: What is the difference between RC1206FR-07287KL and RMCF1206FT287K? A: Both are Active products with identical electrical specifications. RC1206FR-07287KL features moisture-resistant construction. RMCF1206FT287K carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection depends on application requirements: moisture-critical environments favor YAGEO; automotive applications favor Stackpole.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All four substitute parts are explicitly marked ROHS3 Compliant. The original RMC1/8K2873FTP does not specify RoHS status in provided data.

Q: Do dimensional variations between parts affect PCB layout? A: No. All parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package with dimensions within standard tolerance ranges. Length variations (0.120" to 0.126") and height variations (0.025" to 0.028") are within acceptable mechanical tolerances for 1206 footprints. PCB layouts designed for 1206 package accommodate all listed parts.

Q: Which substitute has the longest supply chain availability? A: ERJ-8ENF2873V (Panasonic) shows highest inventory at 57,281 units. However, product status is "Not For New Designs." For new designs, RMCF1206FT287K (Stackpole) with 8,481 units and Active status is recommended.

Q: Can MCR18ERTF2873 be used despite discontinued status? A: MCR18ERTF2873 is electrically and mechanically equivalent but discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Use only for replacement applications where existing inventory exists. Do not specify for new designs or long-term production.

Q: Are all parts suitable for -55°C to 155°C operating range? A: Yes. All substitute parts and the original RMC1/8K2873FTP specify identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.
