Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RMEF0805FT23K7 are identified based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitution criteria are strictly limited to the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 23.7 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 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 level: 1 (Unlimited)

Parts meeting all these electrical and mechanical specifications are classified as parametric equivalents. The primary difference between the main part and substitute parts is the packaging format (Bulk versus Tape & Reel).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RMEF0805FT23K7 and RMCF0805FT23K7 are active, production-grade components manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and automotive qualification requirements. The RMEF0805FT23K7 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the RMCF0805FT23K7 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Selection between these parts depends on assembly process requirements and packaging compatibility with automated pick-and-place equipment. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The choice between bulk and tape & reel packaging does not affect electrical performance or reliability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0805FT23K7 be used as a direct replacement for RMEF0805FT23K7?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The RMCF0805FT23K7 differs only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Bulk). Direct substitution is valid from an electrical and functional standpoint.

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

A: Bulk packaging supplies loose components, suitable for manual assembly or small-scale operations. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape, designed for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The electrical and mechanical properties of the resistor are identical in both formats.

Q: Are both parts automotive-qualified?

A: Yes. Both RMEF0805FT23K7 and RMCF0805FT23K7 are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and are suitable for automotive applications requiring this certification.

Q: Do these parts have identical temperature performance?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. Temperature performance is identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and 100% lead-free, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for these parts?

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

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

A: Yes, provided the assembly process is compatible with the packaging format. Bulk packaging requires manual placement, while Tape & Reel packaging is designed for automated assembly. Once soldered to the PCB, both parts perform identically.
