Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BC' against official datasheets to confirm flame retardant and safety coating specifications. Ensure the 68.1k ohm value and 1% tolerance match design requirements. Confirm RoHS3 compliance status for regulatory adherence. Check manufacturer documentation for any recent packaging or global part number changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high reliability and safety certifications are required in axial resistor form factors. The metal film technology offers better stability than carbon film alternatives. Consider the 0.5W power rating for circuit load calculations. Verify that the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient meets the thermal stability requirements of the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the RNF series of general-purpose and precision metal film resistors from Stackpole Electronics. The series is characterized by its axial leaded configuration and robust construction. The RNF12FBC68K1 specifically integrates safety features like flame retardant coatings, distinguishing it from standard variants within the broader resistor portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include other axial metal film resistors with matching 68.1k ohm resistance, 1% tolerance, and 0.5W power rating. Ensure replacement parts also meet the same temperature coefficient and safety coating requirements if flame retardancy is critical.
