Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RVC2512FT200K is permissible with parts meeting the following criteria:

• Resistance value: 200 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2512 (6432 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 3521200KFT meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is an increased power rating (2W versus 1W), which represents an upgrade capability rather than a limitation. This upgrade allows the substitute to handle higher power dissipation while maintaining all other electrical characteristics and physical dimensions within acceptable tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RVC2512FT200K and 3521200KFT maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The 3521200KFT includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The substitute part's 2W power rating exceeds the original 1W specification, enabling operation in higher power dissipation scenarios without thermal stress. Dimensional compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters, with length and height specifications within acceptable manufacturing tolerances for the 2512 package format. Selection between these parts should be based on application power requirements and any specific automotive qualification mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3521200KFT substitute for the RVC2512FT200K in all applications?

A: The 3521200KFT is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RVC2512FT200K. The increased 2W power rating of the substitute part does not create incompatibility; it extends the operational envelope. Applications designed for 1W operation will function correctly with the 2W substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the 3521200KFT?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard indicating the part has undergone rigorous testing for automotive applications. This certification is relevant only if your application requires automotive-grade components. For non-automotive applications, this certification provides no functional impact.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 2512 (6432 Metric) package with identical height specifications of 0.026" (0.65mm). Length dimensions differ slightly (0.250" versus 0.248"), representing a 0.002" variation within standard manufacturing tolerances for this package class. This difference does not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same temperature performance?

A: Both parts share identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), ensuring equivalent thermal performance across the specified operating envelope.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The RVC2512FT200K has 972 units in stock. The 3521200KFT has 60,489 units in stock, providing significantly greater availability for procurement planning.
