Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCF1206FT232K is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 232 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Physical dimensions (length, width, height) may vary within acceptable tolerances for 1206 package specifications. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is present on the main part and two substitute parts; one substitute part does not carry this certification but maintains all other electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status)

CRCW1206232KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07232KL (YAGEO) are the preferred substitutes. Both parts are in active production status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. CRCW1206232KFKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification matching the original part. RC1206FR-07232KL is designated as manufacturer-recommended and features moisture-resistant construction with 57198 units in stock, providing superior supply availability.

Secondary Substitutes (Limited Availability)

ERJ-8ENF2323V (Panasonic) carries AEC-Q200 certification and meets all electrical parameters but is marked "Not For New Designs," indicating end-of-life status. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance or existing design continuity where supply exists (34632 units available).

MCR18ERTF2323 (Rohm Semiconductor) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and lacks AEC-Q200 certification. This part does not meet automotive qualification requirements and is not recommended for new applications or designs requiring automotive-grade components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RMCF1206FT232K with any of these parts in automotive applications?

A: CRCW1206232KFKEA and ERJ-8ENF2323V both carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification and are suitable for automotive applications. RC1206FR-07232KL is not explicitly rated AEC-Q200 but meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. MCR18ERTF2323 lacks automotive certification and is not suitable for automotive designs.

Q: What is the difference between the physical dimensions of these parts?

A: All parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. Minor variations exist in seated height: RMCF1206FT232K and ERJ-8ENF2323V measure 0.028" (0.70mm), CRCW1206232KFKEA measures 0.024" (0.60mm), MCR18ERTF2323 measures 0.026" (0.65mm), and RC1206FR-07232KL measures 0.026" (0.65mm). These variations are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all five parts listed are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Q: Which substitute has the best supply availability?

A: RC1206FR-07232KL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory at 57198 units, followed by ERJ-8ENF2323V (Panasonic) at 34632 units and CRCW1206232KFKEA (Vishay Dale) at 22394 units.

Q: Can I use MCR18ERTF2323 as a substitute?

A: MCR18ERTF2323 meets all electrical and mechanical parameters but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and lacks AEC-Q200 automotive certification. It is not recommended for new designs or applications requiring automotive-grade components.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: RMCF1206FT232K, CRCW1206232KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2323V, and RC1206FR-07232KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. MCR18ERTF2323 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.
