Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCF2010FT261R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 261 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

CRCW2010261RFKEF (Vishay Dale) is the primary substitute option. This part maintains active production status and carries full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with ROHS3 compliance. Inventory availability is 12,826 units.

ERJ-12SF2610U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is a secondary substitute option. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. However, the product status is listed as "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in mature phase production. Inventory availability is 10,869 units. Selection of this part should be limited to legacy design support or applications where existing qualification documentation references this manufacturer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010261RFKEF replace RMCF2010FT261R in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical specifications (261 Ohms ±1%, 0.75W), physical dimensions (2010 package), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the Stackpole and Vishay Dale versions?

A: There are no differences in electrical or mechanical parameters. Both parts are thick film resistors with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating range. The difference is manufacturer and part numbering scheme only.

Q: Is ERJ-12SF2610U suitable for new designs?

A: The ERJ-12SF2610U carries a "Not For New Designs" status. This designation indicates the part is in mature production phase. For new designs, CRCW2010261RFKEF or RMCF2010FT261R are preferred selections.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable on the PCB?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical package dimensions (2010 / 5025 Metric), footprint requirements, and termination configuration (2 terminations). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet automotive standards?

A: Yes. All listed parts carry AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance. Moisture sensitivity level is MSL 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance?

A: All parts share ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across -55°C to 155°C. This ensures consistent resistance stability across the full automotive temperature range.
