Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCR03EZPFX2613 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: 261 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match required)
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required for environmental standards)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required for storage and handling)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is present in direct manufacturer substitutes (CRCW0603261KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF2613V, RMCF0603FT261K) and absent in similar alternatives (CR0603-FX-2613ELF, RC0603FR-07261KL, RC1608F2613CS), which feature moisture-resistant thick film composition instead.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Automotive AEC-Q200 Certified):

CRCW0603261KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2613V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0603FT261K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are direct functional equivalents with active product status and automotive AEC-Q200 certification matching the original MCR03EZPFX2613 specification. These parts are recommended for applications requiring maintained automotive-grade reliability standards.

Alternative Substitutes (Moisture Resistant, Non-Automotive):

CR0603-FX-2613ELF (Bourns Inc.), RC0603FR-07261KL (YAGEO), and RC1608F2613CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) meet all electrical and mechanical parameters with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts feature moisture-resistant thick film composition instead of automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Selection of these alternatives is appropriate for applications where automotive qualification is not a design requirement.

All substitute parts maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and moisture sensitivity level specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a moisture-resistant thick film resistor in place of an automotive AEC-Q200 resistor?

A: Substitution depends on application requirements. If automotive AEC-Q200 certification is specified in your design, use CRCW0603261KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF2613V, or RMCF0603FT261K. If automotive qualification is not required, moisture-resistant alternatives (CR0603-FX-2613ELF, RC0603FR-07261KL, RC1608F2613CS) are electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package dimensions?

A: All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package. Physical dimensions vary slightly within manufacturing tolerances: length ranges from 0.061" to 0.063" (1.55mm to 1.60mm), width from 0.031" to 0.033" (0.80mm to 0.85mm), and height from 0.020" to 0.022" (0.50mm to 0.55mm). These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for 0603 components.

Q: What is the difference between automotive AEC-Q200 and moisture-resistant thick film specifications?

A: Automotive AEC-Q200 certification indicates compliance with automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. Moisture-resistant thick film composition provides enhanced protection against humidity and environmental exposure. The MCR03EZPFX2613 carries AEC-Q200 certification; direct substitutes maintain this certification, while alternative substitutes do not.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All substitute parts and the original MCR03EZPFX2613 specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across the identical -55°C to 155°C temperature range.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling, making it suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts and the original MCR03EZPFX2613 are ROHS3 compliant, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions.
