Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCF0201FT5M60 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: resistance value (5.6 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package format (0201), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3). The substitute part RC0201FR-075M6L from YAGEO meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and composition. The operating temperature range of the substitute extends to -55°C to 125°C, which encompasses the primary operating window while the main part extends to 155°C maximum. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0201FR-075M6L from YAGEO qualifies as a direct equivalent substitute for the RMCF0201FT5M60. Both components maintain active production status and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The electrical specifications are identical across all critical parameters including resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and temperature coefficient. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical package dimensions and footprint. The substitute part includes moisture-resistant features and maintains the same MSL 1 rating. The operating temperature range difference (125°C maximum versus 155°C maximum) is not a limiting factor for standard industrial and commercial applications operating within the -55°C to 125°C window. Both components are suitable for direct PCB assembly substitution without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0201FR-075M6L replace RMCF0201FT5M60 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (5.6 MOhms ±1%, 0.05W), composition (thick film), and package format (0201). Mechanical dimensions are equivalent, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference? A: The RMCF0201FT5M60 operates to 155°C maximum while the RC0201FR-075M6L operates to 125°C maximum. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, the Stackpole part is required. For standard applications within -55°C to 125°C, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the RMCF0201FT5M60 and RC0201FR-075M6L carry ROHS3 compliance certification and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating mean? A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. Both parts carry this rating.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical? A: The length and width dimensions are identical (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm). The seated height of the substitute is 0.010" (0.26mm) compared to 0.011" (0.28mm) for the main part, which remains within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between standard thick film and moisture-resistant thick film? A: The RC0201FR-075M6L includes moisture-resistant features in its thick film composition. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and MSL 1 rating, making them functionally equivalent for standard applications.
