Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for MCS04020C9311FE000 are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 9.31 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.063W (1/16W)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: Can be equal to or tighter than ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: Can be equal to or lower than ±50ppm/°C
• Physical dimensions: Height variation within manufacturer specifications

Three substitute parts meet these criteria with improvements in tolerance and temperature stability characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0402BRD079K31L replace MCS04020C9311FE000 directly? A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value, package type, power rating, and operating temperature range. RT0402BRD079K31L provides superior tolerance (±0.1% vs ±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct upgrade.

Q: What is the difference between CPF0402B9K31E1 and RT0402BRD079K31L? A: Both parts have identical electrical specifications: 9.31 kOhms ±0.1% tolerance, ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and 0402 package. The primary difference is manufacturer (TE Connectivity vs YAGEO) and inventory availability.

Q: Is RT0402DRE079K31L compatible with the original design? A: Yes. RT0402DRE079K31L maintains the same tolerance class (±0.5% vs ±1%) and temperature coefficient (±50ppm/°C) as MCS04020C9311FE000, with identical package and power rating. It is a direct substitute.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level? A: Yes. All substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, identical to the original MCS04020C9311FE000.

Q: Are there any height differences between these parts? A: Maximum seated heights vary slightly: MCS04020C9311FE000 at 0.015" (0.37mm), while substitute parts are 0.014" (0.35mm). Both are within 0402 package specifications and compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best tolerance performance? A: Both CPF0402B9K31E1 and RT0402BRD079K31L offer ±0.1% tolerance, representing a 10-fold improvement over the original ±1% specification.
