MCS04020C1580FE000 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MCS04020C1580FE000 is a 158 Ohm ±1% thin film chip resistor in 0402 (1005 Metric) package rated at 0.063W (1/16W) with anti-sulfur coating. Manufactured by Vishay Beyschlag/Draloric/BC Components, this component is Active status and widely used in precision analog circuits, signal conditioning, and measurement applications where stable resistance values are required.

Substitute parts become necessary when the original part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements allow for improved electrical characteristics such as tighter tolerance or lower temperature coefficient specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the MCS04020C1580FE000 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

• Resistance Value: Must be 158 Ohms
• Package Type: Must be 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Power Rating: Must be 0.063W (1/16W) minimum
• Composition: Must be Thin Film
• Operating Temperature Range: Must cover -55°C to 155°C
• Termination Count: Must be 2
• RoHS Compliance: Must be ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: Must be 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Tolerance and temperature coefficient may vary within acceptable ranges for equivalent substitution, as these represent performance enhancements rather than functional limitations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, meeting regulatory and environmental requirements equivalent to the original MCS04020C1580FE000.

CPF0402B158RE1 (TE Connectivity) offers improved tolerance (±0.1%) and reduced temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C) in Cut Tape packaging. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher precision than the original specification.

RN73C1E158RBTDF (TE Connectivity) provides the tightest temperature coefficient specification (±10ppm/°C) among all alternatives, with ±0.1% tolerance. Tape & Reel packaging matches the original format. REACH status is Vendor Undefined.

RT0402BRD07158RL (YAGEO) delivers ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient in Tape & Reel packaging with confirmed REACH Unaffected status. This part offers the highest inventory availability among substitutes.

All substitute parts feature reduced seated height (0.014" vs. 0.015"), which may provide marginal benefits in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CPF0402B158RE1 be used as a direct replacement for MCS04020C1580FE000?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (158 Ohms), package (0402), power rating (0.063W), composition (thin film), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications. The substitute offers superior tolerance (±0.1% vs. ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs. ±50ppm/°C). Packaging differs (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which affects procurement and assembly handling.

Q: What is the significance of temperature coefficient differences?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates resistance value drift across the operating temperature range. The original part (±50ppm/°C) exhibits greater variation than substitutes (±10-25ppm/°C). In precision measurement or analog signal conditioning circuits, lower temperature coefficient reduces calibration drift and improves long-term stability.

Q: Does the 0.001" height difference between parts affect PCB assembly?

A: The seated height difference (0.015" original vs. 0.014" substitutes) is negligible for standard reflow soldering processes. This minor variation does not impact component placement, solder joint formation, or thermal management in typical 0402 applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: RN73C1E158RBTDF and RT0402BRD07158RL are supplied in Tape & Reel format, matching the original packaging. CPF0402B158RE1 is supplied in Cut Tape format, requiring different handling and feeder compatibility during automated assembly.

Q: What is the REACH compliance status for all parts?

A: MCS04020C1580FE000, CPF0402B158RE1, and RT0402BRD07158RL are REACH Unaffected. RN73C1E158RBTDF shows Vendor Undefined status, requiring verification with the supplier for applications subject to REACH regulations.
