Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The RMCF1206FT1M80 qualifies as a direct substitute for the RVC1206FT1M80 based on the following matching parameters:

• Identical resistance value: 1.8 MOhms
• Identical tolerance: ±1%
• Identical power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Identical package designation: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Identical composition: Thick Film
• Identical temperature coefficient: ±200ppm/°C
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Identical RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The RMCF series differs from the RVC series through the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards. Physical dimensions show minor variations within acceptable tolerances for the 1206 package class.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RVC1206FT1M80 and RMCF1206FT1M80 meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications for resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating conditions. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements:

The RVC1206FT1M80 is appropriate for general commercial applications where automotive qualification is not required. The RMCF1206FT1M80 is the specified choice for automotive applications or designs requiring AEC-Q200 compliance. The RMCF variant offers significantly higher inventory availability (13100 pieces versus 1073 pieces), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume production.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF1206FT1M80 be used as a direct replacement for RVC1206FT1M80 in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The RMCF1206FT1M80 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RVC1206FT1M80. The AEC-Q200 qualification of the RMCF series represents an additional certification that does not restrict its use in commercial applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor variations exist within the 1206 package class. RVC1206FT1M80 dimensions are 0.122" L x 0.061" W (3.10mm x 1.55mm) with 0.026" maximum seated height. RMCF1206FT1M80 dimensions are 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.028" maximum seated height. These variations fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the RMCF series?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The RMCF1206FT1M80 meets this standard, making it suitable for automotive applications. Non-automotive applications do not require this qualification.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RVC1206FT1M80 and RMCF1206FT1M80 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For automotive applications, specify RMCF1206FT1M80. For commercial applications without automotive requirements, either part is acceptable. The RMCF variant offers higher inventory availability, which may support supply chain continuity.
