Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RVC0805FT200R is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (200 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalents: Parts that match all core electrical and mechanical specifications without additional features. These are interchangeable in standard applications.

Upgrade Variants: Parts that meet all core specifications while adding enhanced features such as moisture resistance or automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). These provide additional performance margins or compliance for specialized applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Standard Applications: CRCW0805200RFKEAC and CRCW0805200RFKEBC (Vishay Dale) are direct equivalents with full active production status and identical electrical specifications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general-purpose circuit applications.

For Moisture-Critical Environments: CR0805-FX-2000ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides moisture-resistant construction while maintaining all core electrical parameters. This variant is recommended for applications exposed to high humidity or condensation conditions.

For Automotive Applications: CRCW0805200RFKEB (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Note that this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics; alternative automotive-qualified sources should be evaluated if automotive compliance is required.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 classification, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original RVC0805FT200R.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805200RFKEAC replace RVC0805FT200R directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (200 Ω, ±1%, 0.125W), package type (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay Dale variants CRCW0805200RFKEAC and CRCW0805200RFKEBC? A: Both are direct equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix difference (AC vs. BC) indicates different manufacturing or packaging batches. Both are suitable for interchangeable use.

Q: When should CR0805-FX-2000ELF be selected over standard equivalents? A: CR0805-FX-2000ELF includes moisture-resistant construction. Select this variant for applications in high-humidity environments, sealed enclosures with condensation risk, or designs requiring enhanced environmental protection beyond standard thick film resistors.

Q: Is CRCW0805200RFKEB still available? A: CRCW0805200RFKEB is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. If automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is required, alternative automotive-qualified 200 Ω 0805 resistors from active production lines should be sourced.

Q: Do all substitute parts fit the same PCB footprint? A: Yes. All listed parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.079" L × 0.049" W, 2.00mm × 1.25mm) and are footprint-compatible. Height variations (0.024" standard vs. 0.020" for AEC-Q200) are within typical PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the RVC0805FT200R.
