Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MCR03EZPFX16R2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance

Substitute parts are categorized as follows:

Direct Automotive Equivalents (AEC-Q200 rated): CRCW060316R2FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF16R2V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0603FT16R2 (Stackpole Electronics Inc). These parts meet all electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status.

Similar Equivalent (Non-automotive rated): RC0603FR-0716R2L (YAGEO) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries moisture-resistant features instead of automotive AEC-Q200 certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification, select from CRCW060316R2FKEA, ERJ-3EKF16R2V, or RMCF0603FT16R2. All three maintain active product status with full inventory availability and meet the complete electrical and mechanical specification set of the discontinued MCR03EZPFX16R2.

CRCW060316R2FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers the highest inventory level at 29,501 pieces and is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging options.

ERJ-3EKF16R2V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides 82,758 pieces in inventory with Tape & Reel packaging.

RMCF0603FT16R2 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) supplies 8,843 pieces in Tape & Reel packaging.

For non-automotive applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not required, RC0603FR-0716R2L (YAGEO) is a valid alternative with 76,646 pieces available. This part meets all electrical and mechanical parameters with moisture-resistant features and ROHS3 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603FR-0716R2L be used in automotive applications? A: RC0603FR-0716R2L is not AEC-Q200 rated. For automotive applications, use CRCW060316R2FKEA, ERJ-3EKF16R2V, or RMCF0603FT16R2.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with MCR03EZPFX16R2? A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with 2 terminations, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility on PCB layouts designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the physical dimensions of substitute parts? A: Dimensional variations are minimal. CRCW060316R2FKEA and RMCF0603FT16R2 measure 0.061" L x 0.031" W and 0.061" L x 0.031" W respectively, while MCR03EZPFX16R2, ERJ-3EKF16R2V, and RC0603FR-0716R2L measure 0.063" L x 0.031" W. Height-seated maximum values range from 0.020" to 0.022". These variations fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS3 compliance? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability? A: ERJ-3EKF16R2V (Panasonic) provides the highest inventory at 82,758 pieces.
