MCR03EZPFX3602 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCR03EZPFX3602 is a 36 kOhms ±1% 0.1W thick film chip resistor in 0603 (1608 Metric) package manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor. This component is rated for automotive applications under AEC-Q200 standard with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, necessitating identification of equivalent alternatives that maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for seamless circuit board integration.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (36 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 AEC-Q200 certification. All substitute parts listed meet these criteria without exception. Dimensional variations within the 0603 package specification (length 0.061–0.063", width 0.031–0.033", height 0.020–0.022") are acceptable per industry standards and do not affect circuit functionality or PCB layout compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For direct replacement in automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification, select from the following active parts: CRCW060336K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF3602V (Panasonic Electronic Components), RMCF0603FG36K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), or RMCF0603FT36K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc). All four parts maintain full compliance with automotive standards and RoHS3 requirements. RMCF0603FT36K0 offers the highest inventory availability at 445,439 pieces. ERJ-3EKF3602V provides substantial stock at 104,120 pieces with active product status.

For applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not mandatory, CR0603-FX-3602ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-0736KL (YAGEO) are functionally equivalent alternatives with active status and adequate inventory levels. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR03EZPFX3602 be replaced with any of the listed substitute parts? A: Yes. All listed parts share identical electrical specifications (36 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C) and operate within the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions remain within 0603 package tolerances. Direct substitution is valid for circuit functionality.

Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes? A: Direct substitutes (CRCW060336K0FKEA, ERJ-3EKF3602V, RMCF0603FG36K0, RMCF0603FT36K0) maintain AEC-Q200 automotive certification identical to the original part. Similar substitutes (AC0603FR-0736KL, AF0603FR-0736KL, CR0603-FX-3602ELF, RC0603FR-0736KL) meet all electrical and mechanical requirements but may lack automotive certification or have different feature sets (moisture resistance, anti-sulfur coating).

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitutes? A: Packaging format varies: CRCW060336K0FKEA, ERJ-3EKF3602V, RMCF0603FG36K0, RMCF0603FT36K0, AC0603FR-0736KL, AF0603FR-0736KL, and CR0603-FX-3602ELF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). RC0603FR-0736KL is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel. All are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability? A: RMCF0603FT36K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) provides the highest inventory at 445,439 pieces with active product status and full AEC-Q200 compliance.

Q: Do dimensional variations affect PCB layout? A: No. All parts conform to 0603 (1608 Metric) package specifications. Dimensional variations (length 0.061–0.063", width 0.031–0.033", height 0.020–0.022") fall within standard tolerances and do not require PCB redesign.
