RVC0805FT243K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RVC0805FT243K is a 243 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. This component is currently active in production with 842 pieces in stock. The part is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and operates across -55°C to 155°C temperature range.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when design requirements mandate specific certifications such as automotive qualification, or when supply chain optimization requires sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RVC0805FT243K is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (243 kOhms), 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).

Two substitute parts meet these criteria:

RMCF0805FT243K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) — Upgrade substitute with identical electrical specifications and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Differs only in series designation and includes automotive-grade certification.

MCR10ERTF2433 (Rohm Semiconductor) — Direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Product status is discontinued at DiGi Electronics; however, inventory remains available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RMCF0805FT243K is the preferred upgrade substitute for applications requiring automotive-grade components. This part maintains all electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RVC0805FT243K while adding AEC-Q200 qualification. Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and remain in active production status with substantial inventory availability (51,498 pieces).

MCR10ERTF2433 provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence as a secondary option. This Rohm Semiconductor part carries identical specifications but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Selection of this part should be limited to applications where existing inventory is available and long-term supply is not a requirement.

For new designs or applications without automotive requirements, the RVC0805FT243K remains the primary choice due to active production status and adequate stock levels. For automotive applications or designs requiring AEC-Q200 certification, RMCF0805FT243K is the direct upgrade path.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0805FT243K be used as a direct replacement for RVC0805FT243K?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (243 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical dimensions (0805 package, 2.00mm x 1.25mm). The RMCF series adds automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Maximum seated height differs by 0.002" (0.05mm), which is negligible for standard PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between RVC0805FT243K and MCR10ERTF2433?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is manufacturer (Stackpole vs. Rohm) and product status (Active vs. Discontinued at DiGi Electronics). MCR10ERTF2433 is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging, while RVC0805FT243K is supplied in Tape & Reel.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RVC0805FT243K, RMCF0805FT243K, and MCR10ERTF2433 are all ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status and MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Which part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: RMCF0805FT243K is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. RVC0805FT243K and MCR10ERTF2433 do not carry automotive qualification.

Q: Is the 0.002" height difference between parts significant?

A: The seated height variation (0.024" for RVC0805FT243K vs. 0.026" for RMCF0805FT243K and MCR10ERTF2433) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect interchangeability for typical applications.
