Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RMCP2010FT18R2 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical resistance value: 18.2 Ohms
• Matching tolerance specification: ±1%
• Equal power rating: 1W
• Same package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Identical physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm)
• Matching temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Equivalent operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Identical composition: Thick Film
• Equivalent compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The CRCW201018R2FKEFHP from Vishay Dale meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct electrical and mechanical substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RMCP2010FT18R2 and CRCW201018R2FKEFHP are active production parts with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on:

• Inventory availability: CRCW201018R2FKEFHP has 1200 pieces in stock versus 688 pieces for RMCP2010FT18R2
• Manufacturer preference: Stackpole Electronics Inc versus Vishay Dale
• Supply chain considerations: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected
• Additional features: CRCW201018R2FKEFHP includes pulse withstanding capability, which is not specified for the RMCP2010FT18R2

Both parts satisfy AEC-Q200 automotive qualification requirements and are suitable for applications requiring -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range.
