CRCW0402180RFKED

CRCW0402180RFKED is a Vishay CRCW fixed thick‑film chip resistor in a 0402 (1.0 × 0.5 mm) package. The 0402 size indicates the miniature resistor footprint; the “180” in the code denotes a nominal resistance of 18 Ω (3‑digit code: 18 × 10^0). The suffix “FKED” encodes tolerance, temperature coefficient, finish, and Pb‑free status (typical tolerance around ±1% is often indicated by the F). It is a standard, fixed resistor rated about 1/16 W (≈62.5 mW) with a typical operating range roughly −55°C to +125°C.
Applications include general circuit resistance, pull‑ups/pull‑downs, current‑limiting, and decoupling in compact PCBs.
For exact specifications (tolerance, temperature coefficient, power rating, lead finish), consult the official CRCW0402 18 Ω FKED datasheet on Vishay’s website by searching the full part number.

CRCW0402180RFKED is a Vishay 0402 (1005 metric) 180 Ω chip resistor. Equivalent parts are any 0402 180 Ω chip resistors with the same tolerance/power/TCR from other makers, e.g. Yageo (RC0402FR‑07180RL), Stackpole (RMCF0402F‑180), KOA Speer 0402 180 Ω series, Murata 0402 180 Ω chip resistors or Susumu 0402 180 Ω parts. Ensure matching tolerance (±1% if applicable), power rating and TCR when substituting.
