Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RNF12FAC6R80 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.8 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The RNMF12FAC6R80 meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. This part is from the RNMF (Mini) series and differs only in physical dimensions and packaging format, which do not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RNF12FAC6R80 and RNMF12FAC6R80 are Active status components from Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on packaging and physical form factor requirements:

• RNF12FAC6R80: Standard size axial resistor, suitable for applications with standard PCB layout spacing and manual assembly processes.
• RNMF12FAC6R80: Compact mini-size axial resistor, suitable for space-constrained applications and automated assembly with Cut Tape packaging.

Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH compliance status. The electrical performance, reliability, and operating characteristics are equivalent across all specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RNMF12FAC6R80 replace RNF12FAC6R80 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RNMF12FAC6R80 is electrically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating range. The primary difference is physical size: the RNMF series is more compact (0.093" Dia x 0.250" L versus 0.108" Dia x 0.344" L). PCB layout and mechanical clearance must accommodate the smaller dimensions.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected with identical regulatory status.

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

A: Tape & Box (TB) packaging includes a reel with protective box, typically used for bulk orders and manual assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging provides individual tape segments, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly and smaller order quantities.

Q: Do these resistors have identical temperature performance?

A: Yes. Both parts have ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across -55°C to 155°C, ensuring equivalent thermal stability and performance across the full operating range.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-precision circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain ±1% tolerance and metal film composition, providing equivalent precision for circuit applications requiring tight tolerance resistive elements.
