Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Match: Resistance value (36 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.05W), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C) must be identical
• Package Compatibility: 0201 (0603 metric) package with matching footprint dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Composition: Thick film construction required
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating mandatory
• Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) where specified

All four substitute parts meet these criteria and are direct functional equivalents suitable for circuit board replacement without design modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent (Same Manufacturer): RC0201JR-0736RL from YAGEO offers the highest inventory availability (10,789 units) and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C, which is suitable for most commercial and industrial applications. This part lacks AEC-Q200 automotive qualification but is functionally equivalent for non-automotive circuits.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives: RMCF0201JG36R0 and RMCF0201JT36R0 from Stackpole Electronics both carry AEC-Q200 qualification matching the original AC0201JR-0736RL specification. Both support the full -55°C ~ 155°C operating range and are available in high quantities (15,497 and 10,629 units respectively). These are direct substitutes for automotive-grade applications.

Cross-Manufacturer Option: ERJ-1GNJ360C from Panasonic provides an alternative source with 7,693 units in stock. Operating temperature is limited to -55°C ~ 125°C and lacks AEC-Q200 rating, making it suitable for general-purpose applications where automotive qualification is not required.

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and RoHS3 compliance, ensuring direct board-level compatibility without circuit redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0201JR-0736RL replace AC0201JR-0736RL in automotive applications? A: RC0201JR-0736RL is electrically and mechanically compatible but lacks AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For automotive circuits requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use RMCF0201JG36R0 or RMCF0201JT36R0 instead.

Q: What is the difference between RMCF0201JG36R0 and RMCF0201JT36R0? A: Both parts are from Stackpole's RMCF series with identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and AEC-Q200 qualification. The difference lies in internal construction or manufacturing process (indicated by the "G" vs "T" designation), but both are functionally equivalent for circuit applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for high-temperature applications above 125°C? A: No. RC0201JR-0736RL and ERJ-1GNJ360C are rated to -55°C ~ 125°C maximum. For applications requiring operation up to 155°C, use AC0201JR-0736RL, RMCF0201JG36R0, or RMCF0201JT36R0.

Q: Do all parts have the same physical dimensions? A: Yes. All parts use the 0201 package (0603 metric) with dimensions 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm). Maximum seated height varies slightly: AC0201JR-0736RL and ERJ-1GNJ360C are 0.010" (0.26mm), while Stackpole parts are 0.011" (0.28mm). This variation is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability? A: RMCF0201JG36R0 from Stackpole has the highest stock level at 15,497 units, followed by RC0201JR-0736RL at 10,789 units.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
