RMCF0201FT768K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RMCF0201FT768K is a 768 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc, rated at 0.05W (1/20W) in a 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount package. This component is actively produced and widely used in compact electronic assemblies where space constraints and precision resistance values are critical. Substitute parts become necessary due to supply chain availability, lead time requirements, or specific application compatibility needs while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RMCF0201FT768K are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 768 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts meet all these criteria and are manufactured by recognized component suppliers with active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RMCF0201FT768K, ERJ-1GNF7683C, and RC0201FR-07768KL—are actively manufactured and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply chain availability and lead time requirements
• Inventory levels at component distributors
• PCB assembly process compatibility with seated height variations (0.28mm vs 0.010")
• Application operating temperature requirements (note the RMCF0201FT768K supports -55°C ~ 155°C, while Panasonic and YAGEO variants support -55°C ~ 125°C)

The YAGEO RC0201FR-07768KL includes moisture-resistant thick film composition as an additional feature. All parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameter tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-1GNF7683C or RC0201FR-07768KL be used as direct replacements for RMCF0201FT768K?

A: Yes, both parts meet the core electrical specifications (768 kOhms ±1%, 0.05W, ±200ppm/°C) and package requirements (0201). However, verify that your application's maximum operating temperature does not exceed 125°C, as the Panasonic and YAGEO parts are rated to 125°C versus the Stackpole part's 155°C maximum.

Q: Are there any physical compatibility concerns?

A: The seated height differs slightly: RMCF0201FT768K is 0.011" (0.28mm) maximum, while ERJ-1GNF7683C and RC0201FR-07768KL are 0.010" (0.26mm) maximum. This 0.001" difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes but should be confirmed if tight vertical clearance constraints exist.

Q: What is the significance of the moisture-resistant feature on the YAGEO part?

A: The RC0201FR-07768KL includes moisture-resistant thick film composition. This provides enhanced reliability in high-humidity environments or applications with extended storage periods before assembly. The RMCF0201FT768K and ERJ-1GNF7683C do not specify this feature but maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: Are all parts suitable for automated PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging and are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment. Verify tape specifications with your assembly partner if transitioning between suppliers.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain strategy and application requirements. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, the RMCF0201FT768K is the only option. For standard applications, all three parts are equivalent and selection should be based on availability, cost, and lead time.
