Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCF2010FT604R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 604 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 compliance: AEC-Q200
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

The CRCW2010604RFKEF from Vishay Dale meets all these electrical and mechanical specifications, making it a direct functional equivalent. The primary difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) and manufacturer series designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RMCF2010FT604R and CRCW2010604RFKEF are active production components with identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Packaging availability: RMCF2010FT604R is supplied in Cut Tape format; CRCW2010604RFKEF is supplied in Tape & Reel format
• Supply chain requirements: CRCW2010604RFKEF has higher inventory availability (11,150 pieces versus 830 pieces)
• Manufacturing process compatibility: Both parts are suitable for automated assembly processes appropriate to their respective packaging formats
• Compliance requirements: Both parts satisfy AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010604RFKEF be used as a direct replacement for RMCF2010FT604R in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are AEC-Q200 qualified with identical electrical specifications (604 Ohms ±1%, 0.75W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and mechanical dimensions (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm). The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies individual components on tape segments suitable for manual handling or small-volume assembly. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous reels optimized for high-speed automated pick-and-place equipment. Both formats contain identical components.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts carry identical certifications: AEC-Q200 automotive rating, ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in PCB designs?

A: Yes. The 2010 (5025 Metric) package footprint is identical for both parts. PCB layouts designed for either part will accommodate the other without modification.

Q: What factors should determine which substitute part to select?

A: Selection should be based on packaging format requirements (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel), inventory availability, and manufacturing process capabilities. Electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.
