CRCW1206200RFKEA

CRCW1206200RFKEA is a thick‑film chip resistor (CRCW series) in an 1206 footprint. The 1206 denotes the package size; the “200” usually encodes the resistance (often 20 Ω in the common 3‑digit code). The “F” suffix typically indicates tolerance (commonly ±1%). The remaining “KEA” is a factory/lot code used to encode temperature coefficient, termination finish, or other manufacturing details, and varies by supplier.
Typical features (for 1206 thick‑film resistors):
- Power rating around 0.25 W
- RoHS compliant and suitable for surface‑mount assembly
- Specified tolerance and temperature behavior per the supplier’s data
Because suffix meanings can differ by manufacturer, the exact electrical specs (power rating, voltage rating, TCR, end‑finish) must be confirmed from the specific datasheet or distributor listing for CRCW1206200RFKEA.

Any 1206 SMD 200 Ω resistor with the same tolerance/power/tempco is equivalent. Common cross‑reference series/vendors:
- Vishay CRCW1206 (same family)
- Yageo RC1206FR‑07
- KOA Speer RK73/RE1206
- Stackpole RMCF1206
- Bourns CR1206
- Panasonic / Susumu 1206 resistor series
When substituting, match resistance (200 Ω), tolerance (±1% if “F”), power rating and temperature coefficient.

CRCW1206200RFKEA is a Vishay CRCW current-sense thick-film chip resistor in 1206 size. Key features:
- Very low resistance for current sensing (typical around 0.200 Ω)
- 1206 footprint, suitable for high-volume SMD assemblies
- Power rating ~0.25 W (at 70°C ambient)
- Low inductance, non-inductive construction
- Tight-ish tolerance (typical around ±5%)
- Low to moderate temperature coefficient (low TC, stable with temp)
- Wide operating temp range (-55°C to +125°C)
- RoHS compliant and lead-free
- Reflow-solderable; packaged in tape-and-reel for automated assembly
Note: exact values (tolerance, TC, and packaging options) can vary by specific lot/variant within the CRCW1206200RFKEA family.

- Pin count: 2 (two end terminations, SMD chip resistor).
- Function: Fixed surface-mount resistor, 1206 package, 200 Ω (CRCW1206200R…), typically ±1% tolerance (F), ~0.25 W power rating (thick‑film SMD resistor).

- Manufacturer: Vishay Intertechnology (Vishay).
- Company type: Global manufacturer of electronic components (passive components like chip resistors, capacitors, inductors, and semiconductors), publicly traded.

CRCW1206200RFKEA is a 1206-size thick‑film power resistor (high current). It is used where a fixed resistance must handle substantial power and/or serve as a current sense/shunt.
Common application areas:
- Power supplies and DC‑DC converters
- Motor drivers and industrial controller circuits
- Automotive electronics
- LED drivers
- Telecom and networking equipment
- Load/dummy load and bleeder resistors
- Current-sense/shunt resistor implementations
- Snubber/load management networks

It's an SMD chip resistor in a 1206 package (imperial 0.12" × 0.06"; metric 3.2 mm × 1.6 mm).
