RVC1206FT150K Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RVC1206FT150K is a 150 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. This component is currently active in production with 965 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification, high voltage operation, or current sensing capability, and to maintain design continuity across multiple sourcing options.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following core electrical and mechanical parameters: resistance value (150 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package type (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All listed substitute parts meet these baseline criteria.

Substitute parts are grouped into three categories based on additional features and product status:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and standard thick film construction without specialized features.

Upgrade Substitutes provide enhanced capabilities including automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, high voltage operation, or current sensing functionality while maintaining core electrical parameters.

Discontinued Substitutes are functionally equivalent but no longer actively produced at the distributor level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RVC1206FT150K with CRCW1206150KFKEAC in my design?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (150 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between RVC1206FT150K and RMCF1206FG150K?

A: RMCF1206FG150K includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring component certification. Electrical specifications are identical. Physical dimensions differ slightly (RMCF: 3.20mm x 1.60mm vs RVC: 3.10mm x 1.55mm).

Q: Why would I choose CRM1206-FX-1503ELF over the standard RVC1206FT150K?

A: CRM1206-FX-1503ELF provides 0.5W power rating compared to 0.25W in the RVC1206FT150K, and includes current sensing capability. Select this part if your application requires higher power dissipation or current monitoring functionality.

Q: Is RCV1206150KFKEA compatible with standard 1206 footprints?

A: Yes. RCV1206150KFKEA uses the standard 1206 (3216 Metric) package and is footprint-compatible. Physical dimensions are 3.20mm x 1.60mm with 0.60mm maximum seated height, which fits standard 1206 land patterns.

Q: Can I use MCR18ERTF1503 as a long-term replacement?

A: MCR18ERTF1503 is functionally equivalent but discontinued at the distributor level. While existing inventory may be available, this part is not recommended for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance. Use CRCW1206150KFKEAC or RMCF1206FG150K for sustained production.

Q: What does ROHS3 Compliant mean for these parts?

A: ROHS3 Compliant indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements, restricting lead and other hazardous materials. All listed substitute parts carry this certification.
