Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MCR03EZPFX2802 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (28 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package type (0603), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and automotive qualification (AEC-Q200). All identified substitutes meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitutes are grouped into two categories: Direct Manufacturer equivalents (identical specifications and active product status) and Similar alternatives (meeting all core parameters with active availability).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring strict automotive compliance, select from the AEC-Q200 qualified direct equivalents: CRCW060328K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2802V (Panasonic Electronic Components), or RMCF0603FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc). All three are in active production with high inventory availability and Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly.

For non-automotive or less stringent applications, AC0603FR-0728KL, CR0603-FX-2802ELF, and RC0603FR-0728KL provide equivalent electrical performance with active product status. RC1608F2802CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics is available in Cut Tape packaging for lower-volume requirements.

All substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use any of these substitutes directly in place of the MCR03EZPFX2802?

A: All listed substitutes share identical electrical specifications (28 kOhms, ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and the same 0603 package footprint. Direct PCB substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible. For automotive applications, prioritize AEC-Q200 qualified parts.

Q: What is the difference between Direct Manufacturer equivalents and Similar alternatives?

A: Direct Manufacturer equivalents (CRCW060328K0FKEA, ERJ-3EKF2802V, RMCF0603FT28K0, AC0603FR-0728KL) meet all specifications including AEC-Q200 automotive rating. Similar alternatives (CR0603-FX-2802ELF, RC0603FR-0728KL, RC1608F2802CS) meet all core electrical and mechanical parameters but lack AEC-Q200 certification.

Q: Does packaging type affect substitution?

A: All substitutes except RC1608F2802CS are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for automated assembly. RC1608F2802CS is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging, suitable for manual or lower-volume pick-and-place operations. Footprint and electrical performance remain identical.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between substitutes?

A: Dimensional variations are minimal. The MCR03EZPFX2802 and most substitutes measure 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm) with 0.022" (0.55mm) maximum seated height. CRCW060328K0FKEA and RMCF0603FT28K0 have slightly smaller length dimensions (0.061" / 1.55mm) but remain within 0603 package tolerance and are footprint-compatible.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: CRCW060328K0FKEA (14,425 pcs), ERJ-3EKF2802V (192,430 pcs), RMCF0603FT28K0 (82,869 pcs), AC0603FR-0728KL (25,954 pcs), CR0603-FX-2802ELF (14,262 pcs), RC0603FR-0728KL (158,564 pcs), and RC1608F2802CS (1,090 pcs) are all in stock as new original components.
