Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RNF12FTC13K0 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Resistance value: 13 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.5W / 1/2W (exact match required)
• Composition: Metal Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±50ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Package type: Axial (exact match required)
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)

The CMF5513K000FHEB from Vishay Dale meets all mandatory electrical specifications and regulatory requirements, qualifying it as a direct substitute. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, composition, and temperature coefficient characteristics. Axial package compatibility is maintained across both components.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RNF12FTC13K0 and CMF5513K000FHEB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The CMF5513K000FHEB provides an extended operating temperature range to 175°C compared to the RNF12FTC13K0's 155°C maximum, offering additional thermal margin in applications approaching upper temperature limits. The CMF5513K000FHEB includes moisture-resistant construction as an additional feature. Both components are active products with established supply availability. Selection between these parts should be based on packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and specific application thermal operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CMF5513K000FHEB replace the RNF12FTC13K0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both resistors share identical electrical specifications: 13 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.5W power rating, metal film composition, and ±50ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Axial package compatibility is maintained. The CMF5513K000FHEB provides extended temperature range capability to 175°C.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The RNF12FTC13K0 measures 0.108" diameter × 0.344" length (2.75mm × 8.75mm). The CMF5513K000FHEB measures 0.090" diameter × 0.240" length (2.29mm × 6.10mm). Both are axial package format. Physical size differences must be evaluated for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are there packaging format differences?

A: Yes. The RNF12FTC13K0 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The CMF5513K000FHEB is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and order quantity.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the RNF12FTC13K0 and CMF5513K000FHEB are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The RNF12FTC13K0 operates from -55°C to 155°C. The CMF5513K000FHEB operates from -55°C to 175°C. The extended upper temperature limit of the CMF5513K000FHEB provides additional thermal headroom for high-temperature applications.
