MCR03EZPFX2153 Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The MCR03EZPFX2153 is a 215 kOhms ±1% 0.1W chip resistor in 0603 (1608 Metric) package manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. This automotive-grade thick film resistor meets AEC-Q200 qualification standards and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:
- Resistance value: 215 kOhms
- Tolerance: ±1%
- Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
- Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
- Composition: Thick Film
- Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
- Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
- RoHS3 compliance
Parts are grouped into two categories:
Direct Substitutes meet all electrical and mechanical parameters with automotive AEC-Q200 certification or equivalent industrial-grade specifications. These include MCR03ERTF2153 (Rohm Semiconductor), CRCW0603215KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2153V (Panasonic), and RMCF0603FT215K (Stackpole Electronics).
Similar Substitutes meet all core electrical and mechanical parameters but feature alternative material properties (moisture-resistant composition) without explicit AEC-Q200 automotive certification. These include CR0603-FX-2153ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-07215KL (YAGEO).

Engineering Selection Recommendations
For applications requiring automotive AEC-Q200 compliance, select from active-status parts: CRCW0603215KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2153V (Panasonic), or RMCF0603FT215K (Stackpole Electronics). All three are currently in production with substantial inventory availability.
For non-automotive applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not required, CR0603-FX-2153ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-07215KL (YAGEO) provide equivalent electrical performance with moisture-resistant thick film composition and active product status.
All substitute parts maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range as the original MCR03EZPFX2153. All are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can MCR03ERTF2153 directly replace MCR03EZPFX2153?
A: MCR03ERTF2153 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters (215 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W, 0603 package, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). However, MCR03ERTF2153 does not carry explicit AEC-Q200 automotive certification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use CRCW0603215KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF2153V, or RMCF0603FT215K instead.
Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes?
A: Direct substitutes (MCR03ERTF2153, CRCW0603215KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF2153V, RMCF0603FT215K) meet all core electrical specifications. Similar substitutes (CR0603-FX-2153ELF, RC0603FR-07215KL) additionally feature moisture-resistant composition but lack explicit AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Both categories are electrically and mechanically compatible.
Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging formats?
A: Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® formats. Verify packaging availability with your supplier before procurement. All parts use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions.
Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?
A: ERJ-3EKF2153V (Panasonic) has the highest reported inventory at 464,367 pieces. CRCW0603215KFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 42,929 pieces, and RMCF0603FT215K (Stackpole) has 38,131 pieces available.
Q: Can I use CR0603-FX-2153ELF or RC0603FR-07215KL in automotive applications?
A: These parts meet all electrical and mechanical specifications but lack AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Use only in non-automotive applications or where automotive qualification is not a design requirement. For automotive designs, select from AEC-Q200 certified alternatives.
