Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (16.2 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package type (0603), composition (thick film), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C).

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Substitutes maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence with AEC-Q200 automotive certification or equivalent thick film construction. These include MCR03ERTF1622 (Rohm Semiconductor), CRCW060316K2FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF1622V (Panasonic), RMCF0603FG16K2 (Stackpole), and RMCF0603FT16K2 (Stackpole).

Similar Substitutes meet all core electrical parameters and package requirements but differ in secondary features such as moisture resistance designation. These include CR0603-FX-1622ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-0716K2L (YAGEO).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, select from active-status parts with explicit AEC-Q200 certification: CRCW060316K2FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF1622V (Panasonic), RMCF0603FG16K2 (Stackpole), or RMCF0603FT16K2 (Stackpole). These parts maintain full compliance with automotive qualification standards.

For non-automotive applications or where AEC-Q200 is not required, CR0603-FX-1622ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-0716K2L (YAGEO) are active alternatives with equivalent electrical performance. YAGEO RC0603FR-0716K2L offers the highest inventory availability (443,365 units).

MCR03ERTF1622 (Rohm Semiconductor) is a direct electrical equivalent but is also discontinued. Prioritize active-status substitutes for new designs and ongoing production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR03EZPFX1622 be replaced with any of the listed substitutes?

A: Yes, all listed parts are electrically equivalent with identical resistance (16.2 kΩ), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package (0603), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions vary slightly within acceptable tolerances for 0603 package specifications.

Q: Which substitute is best for automotive applications?

A: CRCW060316K2FKEA, ERJ-3EKF1622V, RMCF0603FG16K2, and RMCF0603FT16K2 all carry AEC-Q200 certification and are currently in active production status, making them suitable for automotive designs.

Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes (MCR03ERTF1622, CRCW060316K2FKEA, ERJ-3EKF1622V, RMCF0603FG16K2, RMCF0603FT16K2) maintain full specification equivalence including AEC-Q200 certification where applicable. Similar substitutes (CR0603-FX-1622ELF, RC0603FR-0716K2L) meet all core electrical parameters but lack explicit AEC-Q200 designation.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between substitutes?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 0603 package standard. MCR03EZPFX1622, MCR03ERTF1622, CR0603-FX-1622ELF, and RC0603FR-0716K2L measure 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm). CRCW060316K2FKEA, RMCF0603FG16K2, and RMCF0603FT16K2 measure 0.061" L × 0.031" W (1.55mm × 0.80mm). All height specifications are 0.022" (0.55mm) maximum, except CRCW060316K2FKEA at 0.020" (0.50mm).

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for all parts?

A: All listed parts have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
