Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 23.2 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 to 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in height (seated maximum) and dimensional tolerances remain within acceptable limits for 1206 package specifications and do not affect circuit performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs, prioritize parts with Active product status: RMCF1206FT23K2, CR1206-FX-2322ELF, CRCW120623K2FKEA, KTR18EZPF2322, and RC1206FR-0723K2L. These parts maintain full manufacturer support and are recommended for long-term production use.

ERJ-8ENF2322V carries a "Not For New Designs" status and should be used only in legacy design maintenance or when existing inventory must be consumed. This part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent but is not recommended for new circuit implementations.

RMCF1206FT23K2 (Stackpole) offers the highest inventory availability at 4,160 units and maintains identical specifications to the primary part RMCF1206FG23K2, making it the preferred direct substitute within the same manufacturer series.

CRCW120623K2FKEA (Vishay Dale) and CRCW120623K2FKEAHP variants provide automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with 26,170 units in stock, supporting high-volume production requirements.

RC1206FR-0723K2L (YAGEO) is designated as manufacturer-recommended and carries 7,888 units in inventory, providing a reliable alternative with moisture-resistant composition.

All listed substitutes comply with ROHS3 and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF1206FG23K2 be directly replaced with RMCF1206FT23K2?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and share identical electrical specifications (23.2 kΩ ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). Both are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The parts are mechanically compatible in 1206 package footprints.

Q: What is the difference between automotive-qualified and moisture-resistant variants?

A: Automotive-qualified parts (RMCF1206FG23K2, RMCF1206FT23K2, CRCW120623K2FKEA, ERJ-8ENF2322V, KTR18EZPF2322) meet AEC-Q200 standards for automotive applications. Moisture-resistant variants (CR1206-FX-2322ELF, RC1206FR-0723K2L) emphasize environmental protection without automotive certification. Both types meet identical electrical and thermal specifications and are interchangeable in non-automotive applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2322V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) has discontinued active development and support for this product line. While the part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent, it should not be selected for new circuit designs. Use only when maintaining legacy designs or consuming existing inventory.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W / 3.20mm x 1.60mm). Seated height variations (0.024" to 0.030" maximum) remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly or component placement.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: CRCW120623K2FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides the highest stock level at 26,170 units, followed by CR1206-FX-2322ELF (Bourns) at 24,538 units. Both support immediate fulfillment for high-volume production requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: Parts with AEC-Q200 qualification (RMCF1206FG23K2, RMCF1206FT23K2, CRCW120623K2FKEA, ERJ-8ENF2322V, KTR18EZPF2322) are qualified for automotive use. Moisture-resistant variants without AEC-Q200 designation (CR1206-FX-2322ELF, RC1206FR-0723K2L) are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications but lack automotive qualification.
