CRCW08053K48FKTC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The CRCW08053K48FKTC is a 3.48 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by Vishay Dale. This component is rated for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 standard with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently active in production. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, when alternative compliance certifications are required, or when different packaging formats better suit manufacturing processes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the CRCW08053K48FKTC is determined by the following parameters: resistance value (3.48 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805 2012 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and RoHS compliance status are secondary considerations that do not affect electrical interchangeability. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is present on the main part and most substitutes but is not a mandatory requirement for substitution in non-automotive applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive certification, select from CRCW08053K48FKTC, CRCW08053K48FKEA, ERJ-6ENF3481V, RMCF0805FG3K48, or RMCF0805FT3K48. The CRCW08053K48FKEA offers the same Vishay Dale manufacturing lineage as the primary part with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. For non-automotive applications where AEC-Q200 is not required, CRCW08053K48FKEAC, CR0805-FX-3481ELF, and MCR10ERTF3481 are electrically equivalent alternatives. MCR10ERTF3481 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should be considered only when existing inventory is available. For Tape & Reel packaging preference, CRCW08053K48FKEA, CRCW08053K48FKEAC, ERJ-6ENF3481V, RMCF0805FT3K48, and CR0805-FX-3481ELF are suitable. For Cut Tape packaging, RMCF0805FG3K48 and MCR10ERTF3481 are available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08053K48FKEA be used as a direct replacement for CRCW08053K48FKTC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (3.48 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and 0805 package format. The primary difference is ROHS3 compliance status on CRCW08053K48FKEA. Both maintain AEC-Q200 automotive certification and Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape packaging provides components on cut segments of carrier tape, typically for lower-volume applications or manual assembly. Electrical performance is identical; selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: No. The primary part CRCW08053K48FKTC is RoHS non-compliant. CRCW08053K48FKEA, ERJ-6ENF3481V, RMCF0805FG3K48, RMCF0805FT3K48, and MCR10ERTF3481 are ROHS3 compliant. CRCW08053K48FKEAC and CR0805-FX-3481ELF are ROHS3 compliant but lack AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Which substitute parts maintain AEC-Q200 automotive certification?

A: CRCW08053K48FKEA, ERJ-6ENF3481V, RMCF0805FG3K48, and RMCF0805FT3K48 all carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification. CRCW08053K48FKEAC, CR0805-FX-3481ELF, and MCR10ERTF3481 do not include this certification.

Q: Is MCR10ERTF3481 still available for new designs?

A: MCR10ERTF3481 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While 838 pieces remain in current inventory, this part should not be selected for new designs. Use RMCF0805FT3K48 or RMCF0805FG3K48 from Stackpole Electronics as active alternatives.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: All parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079" / 2.00mm) and width (0.049" / 1.25mm). Maximum seated heights vary slightly: CRCW08053K48FKTC and CRCW08053K48FKEA are 0.020" (0.50mm), CRCW08053K48FKEAC and CR0805-FX-3481ELF are 0.024" (0.60mm), ERJ-6ENF3481V is 0.028" (0.70mm), and RMCF variants and MCR10ERTF3481 are 0.026" (0.65mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances.
