Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (698 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must match exactly.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use 0603 (1608 Metric) package with equivalent footprint dimensions and termination count (2 terminations).

Environmental & Compliance Requirements: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating must be maintained. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is required for applications demanding automotive-grade reliability.

Composition: Thick film construction is maintained across all substitutes to ensure consistent electrical behavior and thermal characteristics.

The following parts meet all substitution criteria and are grouped by manufacturer:

• Panasonic Electronic Components: ERJ-3EKF6983V (ERJ-3EK series alternative)
• Vishay Dale: CRCW0603698KFKEA (CRCW series)
• YAGEO: RC0603FR-07698KL (RC_L series)
• Stackpole Electronics Inc: RMCF0603FT698K (RMCF series)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the ERJ-S03F6983V. Selection should be based on application requirements and supply chain considerations.

For Automotive Applications: ERJ-3EKF6983V, CRCW0603698KFKEA, and RMCF0603FT698K are qualified to AEC-Q200 standard and are suitable for automotive-grade designs requiring automotive qualification.

For General Industrial Applications: RC0603FR-07698KL from YAGEO provides equivalent electrical performance with moisture-resistant thick film construction and ROHS3 compliance, though it does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Product Status: All substitute parts are active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance: All alternatives maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, supporting environmental and manufacturing process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-3EKF6983V be used as a direct replacement for ERJ-S03F6983V?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Panasonic, share identical electrical specifications (698 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W), operate across -55°C to 155°C, and carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The primary difference is the series designation (ERJ-3EK versus ERJ-S03). Physical dimensions and footprint are equivalent for 0603 package applications.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW0603698KFKEA and RC0603FR-07698KL?

A: Both parts meet electrical specifications and package requirements. CRCW0603698KFKEA (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC0603FR-07698KL (YAGEO) features moisture-resistant construction but does not carry automotive qualification. Selection depends on whether automotive-grade certification is required for the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: ERJ-3EKF6983V, CRCW0603698KFKEA, and RMCF0603FT698K carry AEC-Q200 qualification and are suitable for automotive applications. RC0603FR-07698KL does not carry automotive qualification and should be evaluated for non-automotive or general industrial use only.

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

A: All parts use 0603 (1608 Metric) package with compatible footprints. Minor dimensional variations exist: ERJ-S03F6983V, RC0603FR-07698KL, and RMCF0603FT698K measure 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm); CRCW0603698KFKEA measures 0.061" L × 0.033" W (1.55mm × 0.85mm). These variations remain within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints during manufacturing and assembly.
