MCR03EZPFX3653 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCR03EZPFX3653 is a 365 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, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives from active manufacturers to maintain supply chain continuity for applications requiring this specific resistance value and performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (365 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. The CRCW0603365KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF3653V, and RMCF0603FT365K are direct equivalents with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification matching the original part's ratings. The RC0603FR-07365KL is classified as a similar part, offering equivalent electrical performance with moisture-resistant thick film composition but without explicit AEC-Q200 automotive certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, the CRCW0603365KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF3653V (Panasonic), and RMCF0603FT365K (Stackpole) are direct functional equivalents with active product status and full automotive certification. These three parts maintain identical electrical specifications and environmental ratings as the original MCR03EZPFX3653.

The RC0603FR-07365KL (YAGEO) provides electrical equivalence with moisture-resistant thick film construction and active availability. This part is suitable for applications where automotive AEC-Q200 certification is not a mandatory requirement but moisture resistance and standard thick film performance are acceptable.

Selection should prioritize parts with active product status to ensure long-term supply chain availability. All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), supporting compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW0603365KFKEA replace the MCR03EZPFX3653 in automotive applications? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (365 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W), package type (0603), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C to 155°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The CRCW0603365KFKEA is an active product from Vishay Dale.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and similar parts in this list? A: Direct equivalents (CRCW0603365KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF3653V, RMCF0603FT365K) carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification matching the original part. The RC0603FR-07365KL is classified as similar because it offers equivalent electrical performance with moisture-resistant composition but lacks explicit AEC-Q200 rating.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these substitutes? A: Minor variations exist within tolerance. The MCR03EZPFX3653 and ERJ-3EKF3653V measure 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm). The CRCW0603365KFKEA and RMCF0603FT365K measure 0.061" L × 0.031" W (1.55mm × 0.80mm). The RC0603FR-07365KL measures 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm). All variants fit standard 0603 PCB footprints.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability? A: The ERJ-3EKF3653V (Panasonic) has 55,776 pieces in stock, followed by RC0603FR-07365KL (YAGEO) with 54,175 pieces. Both exceed availability of the CRCW0603365KFKEA (18,464 pieces) and RMCF0603FT365K (19,722 pieces).

Q: Is the RC0603FR-07365KL suitable for non-automotive applications? A: Yes. The RC0603FR-07365KL meets all electrical and environmental specifications for general industrial and consumer applications. Its moisture-resistant thick film composition and unlimited MSL rating support standard manufacturing processes.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance? A: Yes. All identified substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard lead-free PCB assembly and storage requirements.
