Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the CRCW0805536KFKEAC are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (536 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) must be identical across all substitutes.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), composition (Thick Film), number of terminations (2), and physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm) must match exactly.

Compliance Parameters: All substitutes must maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status to ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The substitute parts identified below meet all these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW0805536KFKEAC (Vishay Dale): Primary choice for standard applications. Active product status ensures long-term availability. ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating suitable for all storage and handling conditions.

MCR10ERTF5363 (Rohm Semiconductor): Electrically and mechanically equivalent substitute. Note that this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, which may impact future procurement. Suitable for applications where existing inventory or alternative distribution channels are available.

RMCF0805FT536K (Stackpole Electronics): Qualified substitute with active product status and highest inventory availability (10,301 pieces). Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Marginal height difference (0.026" vs 0.024") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard 0805 footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR10ERTF5363 be used as a direct replacement for CRCW0805536KFKEAC?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (536 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical package (0805 / 2012 Metric). The 0.002" (0.05mm) height difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between RMCF0805FT536K and the main part?

A: RMCF0805FT536K is electrically and mechanically identical to CRCW0805536KFKEAC. The primary distinction is AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the Stackpole part, which provides additional reliability assurance for automotive and mission-critical applications. Height difference (0.026" vs 0.024") does not impact compatibility.

Q: Why is MCR10ERTF5363 marked as discontinued?

A: Discontinuation status at DiGi Electronics indicates this part is no longer actively stocked through that distributor. However, the part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and may be available through alternative distribution channels or existing inventory.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three parts (CRCW0805536KFKEAC, MCR10ERTF5363, and RMCF0805FT536K) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes. All three parts are mechanically compatible with standard 0805 footprints and electrically interchangeable. No design modifications are required for substitution.
