Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCR03EZPFX2003 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (200 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package type (0603), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format variations (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) do not affect functional equivalence but may impact procurement and assembly workflows.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, CRCW0603200KFKEA (Vishay Dale, active status) and RMCF0603FT200K (Stackpole Electronics Inc, active status) are direct functional equivalents with full automotive certification. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications and operating parameters to the MCR03EZPFX2003.

CR0603-FX-2003ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-07200KL (YAGEO) provide electrical equivalence with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature characteristics. These parts are rated for moisture resistance but do not carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Selection between these alternatives depends on whether automotive qualification is a mandatory requirement for the application.

CRCW0603200KFKEB (Vishay Dale) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs or ongoing procurement despite meeting all electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0603-FX-2003ELF or RC0603FR-07200KL be used in place of MCR03EZPFX2003 in automotive applications?

A: These parts are electrically equivalent but lack AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Use only if automotive qualification is not a design requirement. Verify application specifications before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Both formats contain identical components. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel is suitable for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly. Tape & Reel is optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly. Functional performance is identical.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes meet ROHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original part specifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: RMCF0603FT200K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) shows the highest inventory level at 545,966 pieces. CRCW0603200KFKEA (Vishay Dale) provides 977,700 pieces with active product status and Cut Tape packaging option.

Q: Can physical dimensions vary between substitutes?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 0603 package specification. All parts meet the 0603 (1608 Metric) standard. Verify PCB footprint compatibility if space constraints are critical.
