Engineering Selection Recommendations
For applications requiring the MCR03EZPFX6980, the following selection criteria apply:
Active Production Status: CRCW0603698RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF6980V (Panasonic), RMCF0603FT698R (Stackpole), CR0603-FX-6980ELF (Bourns), RC0603FR-07698RL (YAGEO), and RC1608F6980CS (Samsung) are all currently active products with established supply chains and inventory availability.
Automotive Applications: For designs requiring AEC-Q200 certification, CRCW0603698RFKEA, ERJ-3EKF6980V, and RMCF0603FT698R maintain automotive-grade specifications equivalent to the original MCR03EZPFX6980.
General Industrial Applications: CR0603-FX-6980ELF, RC0603FR-07698RL, and RC1608F6980CS provide moisture-resistant thick film construction suitable for non-automotive applications with equivalent electrical performance.
Rohm Semiconductor Continuity: MCR03ERTF6980 maintains the same manufacturer lineage as the discontinued MCR03EZPFX6980, though product status is also discontinued.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute any of these parts for the MCR03EZPFX6980?
A: Yes. All listed parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 698 Ohms ±1%, 0.1W power rating, 0603 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Selection depends on application requirements and supply availability.
Q: What is the difference between automotive AEC-Q200 and moisture-resistant variants?
A: Automotive AEC-Q200 parts (Vishay, Panasonic, Stackpole) meet automotive reliability standards. Moisture-resistant variants (Bourns, YAGEO, Samsung) emphasize environmental protection. Both meet the same electrical specifications and are electrically interchangeable.
Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitutes?
A: All parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package. Minor variations exist in seated height (0.020" to 0.022") and length/width tolerances (1.55mm to 1.60mm L, 0.80mm to 0.85mm W), but these fall within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.
Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?
A: RC0603FR-07698RL (YAGEO) has 718,036 pieces in stock, followed by ERJ-3EKF6980V (Panasonic) with 121,828 pieces.
Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?
A: Yes. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), matching the original MCR03EZPFX6980 specifications.
