MCR03EZPFX8872 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCR03EZPFX8872 is an 88.7 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 operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCR03EZPFX8872 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Resistance value: 88.7 kOhms
Tolerance: ±1%
Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
Composition: Thick Film
Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are categorized into two groups:

Direct Substitutes maintain full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and identical electrical specifications. These parts are functionally interchangeable without design modification.

Similar Substitutes maintain all electrical and mechanical parameters but feature alternative qualification or feature sets (moisture resistant instead of automotive rated). These parts are electrically equivalent but may require application review for automotive use cases.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Automotive AEC-Q200 Applications:

Select from active status direct substitutes: CRCW060388K7FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF8872V (Panasonic), or RMCF0603FT88K7 (Stackpole Electronics). All three maintain full AEC-Q200 compliance and are currently in active production status. CRCW060388K7FKEA and ERJ-3EKF8872V offer the highest inventory availability.

For Non-Automotive Applications:

CR0603-FX-8872ELF (Bourns) and RC0603FR-0788K7L (YAGEO) are electrically equivalent alternatives. These parts are rated for moisture resistance rather than automotive qualification and are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

Inventory Considerations:

RC0603FR-0788K7L (YAGEO) provides the largest available inventory at 271,628 pieces. ERJ-3EKF8872V (Panasonic) offers 182,117 pieces. RMCF0603FT88K7 (Stackpole) provides 106,301 pieces. CRCW060388K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) has 22,006 pieces available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use CR0603-FX-8872ELF or RC0603FR-0788K7L as direct replacements for MCR03EZPFX8872 in automotive applications?

A: No. CR0603-FX-8872ELF and RC0603FR-0788K7L are not AEC-Q200 rated. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use CRCW060388K7FKEA, ERJ-3EKF8872V, or RMCF0603FT88K7.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions. Dimensional variations in seated height (0.020" to 0.022") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

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

A: Direct substitutes (CRCW060388K7FKEA, ERJ-3EKF8872V, RMCF0603FT88K7) maintain AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Similar substitutes (CR0603-FX-8872ELF, RC0603FR-0788K7L) are electrically equivalent but feature moisture resistance ratings instead of automotive qualification.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original MCR03EZPFX8872 specifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: CRCW060388K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-3EKF8872V (Panasonic) are both in active production status. ERJ-3EKF8872V currently has the highest inventory level at 182,117 pieces.
