• Identical resistance value of 196 Ohms
• Matching tolerance of ±1%
• Equivalent power rating of 0.05W (1/20W)
• Identical package format 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Thick film composition
• Temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range compatibility
• Physical dimensions within specification
• ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling direct replacement in the same circuit application without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory alignment with current manufacturing standards. The CRCW0201196RFNED (Vishay Dale) and RMCF0201FT196R (Stackpole) both support the full -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range, making them suitable for applications requiring extended high-temperature performance. The ERJ-1GNF1960C (Panasonic) and RC0201FR-07196RL (YAGEO) operate to 125°C maximum, appropriate for standard industrial and commercial temperature environments. The RC0201FR-07196RL includes moisture-resistant thick film construction, providing enhanced environmental protection in humidity-sensitive applications. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings and are available in high inventory quantities for production deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0201196RFNED replace RMCF0201FT196R directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (196 Ohms ±1%, 0.05W), package format (0201), composition (thick film), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C). The CRCW0201196RFNED maintains the same -55°C to 155°C operating range and ROHS3 compliance. Physical dimensions are compatible with a maximum seated height of 0.010" versus 0.011" for the original part.

Q: What is the temperature limitation for ERJ-1GNF1960C and RC0201FR-07196RL? A: Both parts operate to a maximum of 125°C, compared to 155°C for the RMCF0201FT196R and CRCW0201196RFNED. Selection depends on application temperature requirements. For circuits operating above 125°C, use RMCF0201FT196R or CRCW0201196RFNED.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging formats? A: The RMCF0201FT196R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Substitute parts are available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Both formats are compatible for PCB assembly; packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Does RC0201FR-07196RL offer any additional features? A: RC0201FR-07196RL incorporates moisture-resistant thick film construction, providing enhanced protection in high-humidity environments. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent to other substitutes.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part and all substitutes, carry ROHS3 compliance certification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
