RMCF2010FT215R Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RMCF2010FT215R is a 215 Ohms ±1% 0.75W chip resistor in 2010 (5025 Metric) package manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. This thick film resistor is designed for automotive applications and meets AEC-Q200 qualification standards. The part is currently in active production status with 2500 units available in inventory.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary manufacturer experiences supply constraints, when design requirements mandate multiple qualified sources, or when inventory availability necessitates alternative sourcing from qualified manufacturers offering identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCF2010FT215R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 215 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.75W
• Package designation: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria without exception. Substitution is valid across manufacturers when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW2010215RFKEF (Vishay Dale) is the primary substitute for RMCF2010FT215R. Both parts are in active production status with full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Electrical and mechanical parameters are identical across all specifications. This part is suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications.

ERJ-12SF2150U (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and carries AEC-Q200 qualification with ROHS3 compliance. However, this part is designated "Not For New Designs" by the manufacturer. Use of this part is limited to legacy system support, field replacements, or applications where existing inventory must be maintained. For new design implementations, CRCW2010215RFKEF is the preferred alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010215RFKEF be used as a direct replacement for RMCF2010FT215R in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in resistance (215 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.75W), package (2010), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Direct substitution is valid without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the active and "Not For New Designs" status?

A: RMCF2010FT215R and CRCW2010215RFKEF are in active production and approved for new design implementations. ERJ-12SF2150U is designated "Not For New Designs," meaning the manufacturer no longer recommends this part for new applications. This part may be used for field replacements or legacy system maintenance only.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. RMCF2010FT215R, CRCW2010215RFKEF, and ERJ-12SF2150U are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) with 0.028" (0.70mm) maximum seated height. PCB footprints and assembly processes are identical.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new automotive designs?

A: CRCW2010215RFKEF (Vishay Dale) is the recommended substitute for new designs. It maintains active production status, full AEC-Q200 qualification, and identical electrical specifications to the primary part.
