Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MCR03EZPFX8871 are classified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.87 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Direct Equivalents (Automotive AEC-Q200 rated): CRCW06038K87FKEA, ERJ-3EKF8871V, RMCF0603FT8K87

Similar Equivalents (Moisture Resistant, non-automotive rated): CR0603-FX-8871ELF, RC0603FR-078K87L

All listed substitutes maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility with the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification, select from the direct equivalents: CRCW06038K87FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF8871V (Panasonic), or RMCF0603FT8K87 (Stackpole Electronics). All three maintain full compliance with automotive standards and are currently in active production with substantial inventory availability.

For non-automotive applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not required, CR0603-FX-8871ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-078K87L (YAGEO) provide functionally equivalent performance with moisture-resistant construction. RC0603FR-078K87L offers the highest inventory availability at 316,495 pieces.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and long-term storage without moisture sensitivity concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use CR0603-FX-8871ELF or RC0603FR-078K87L as direct replacements for MCR03EZPFX8871 in automotive applications?

A: CR0603-FX-8871ELF and RC0603FR-078K87L are electrically and mechanically equivalent but lack AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Use these only in non-automotive circuits. For automotive applications, select CRCW06038K87FKEA, ERJ-3EKF8871V, or RMCF0603FT8K87.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical termination count (2 terminals) and compatible physical dimensions. Dimensional variations (length 1.55mm to 1.60mm, height 0.50mm to 0.55mm) fall within standard PCB design tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and similar equivalents?

A: Direct equivalents (CRCW06038K87FKEA, ERJ-3EKF8871V, RMCF0603FT8K87) carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification matching the original part. Similar equivalents (CR0603-FX-8871ELF, RC0603FR-078K87L) provide identical electrical and mechanical specifications but feature moisture-resistant construction without automotive qualification.

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

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient with -55°C to 155°C operating range, ensuring equivalent thermal performance across the full operating envelope.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC0603FR-078K87L (YAGEO) provides the highest stock level at 316,495 pieces. For automotive-rated alternatives, RMCF0603FT8K87 (Stackpole) offers 47,176 pieces in inventory.
