Engineering Selection Recommendations

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, select from the following active parts:

  • CRCW060316K5FKEA (Vishay Dale) - Active status, AEC-Q200 rated, highest inventory availability (32,778 pcs)
  • ERJ-3EKF1652V (Panasonic Electronic Components) - Active status, AEC-Q200 rated, highest inventory availability (71,618 pcs)
  • RMCF0603FT16K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) - Active status, AEC-Q200 rated, high inventory availability (48,832 pcs)

For non-automotive applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not required, moisture-resistant alternatives are available:

  • CR0603-FX-1652ELF (Bourns Inc.) - Active status, moisture resistant, high inventory (54,034 pcs)
  • RC0603FR-0716K5L (YAGEO) - Active status, moisture resistant, highest inventory availability (79,803 pcs)

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package dimensions, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR03ERTF1652 be used as a direct replacement for MCR03EZPFX1652?

A: MCR03ERTF1652 shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the original part. However, MCR03ERTF1652 does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification, while MCR03EZPFX1652 does. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use CRCW060316K5FKEA, ERJ-3EKF1652V, or RMCF0603FT16K5 instead.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package. Minor dimensional variations exist: CRCW060316K5FKEA measures 0.061" L x 0.033" W (1.55mm x 0.85mm) with 0.020" max height, while other parts measure 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with 0.022" max height. These variations remain within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

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

A: Direct substitutes (MCR03ERTF1652, CRCW060316K5FKEA, ERJ-3EKF1652V, RMCF0603FT16K5) maintain all electrical and mechanical specifications. Similar substitutes (CR0603-FX-1652ELF, RC0603FR-0716K5L) provide equivalent electrical performance but feature moisture-resistant construction instead of automotive AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: RC0603FR-0716K5L (YAGEO) has the highest inventory at 79,803 pcs. For AEC-Q200 rated parts, ERJ-3EKF1652V (Panasonic) offers the highest availability at 71,618 pcs.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the original MCR03EZPFX1652 specifications.
