CRCW0201604KFNED Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CRCW0201604KFNED is a 604 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Vishay Dale in 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package class and performance envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The primary distinction is operating temperature range: the CRCW0201604KFNED supports -55°C to 155°C, while both ERJ-1GNF6043C and RC0201FR-07604KL are rated to -55°C to 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, the Vishay Dale CRCW0201604KFNED is the appropriate selection. For applications within the -55°C to 125°C envelope, all three parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The RC0201FR-07604KL includes moisture resistant composition as an additional feature. Part selection should be based on specific application temperature requirements and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-1GNF6043C or RC0201FR-07604KL be used as direct replacements for CRCW0201604KFNED?

A: Both parts are direct substitutes for applications operating within -55°C to 125°C. The CRCW0201604KFNED extends to 155°C and must be used for higher temperature applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the significance of the moisture resistant feature in RC0201FR-07604KL?

A: The moisture resistant composition in RC0201FR-07604KL provides enhanced performance in high-humidity environments. However, all three parts carry MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for standard handling and storage.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between the three parts?

A: No. All three parts specify identical resistance (604 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), and temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C).
