Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by three critical parameters: resistance value (9.76 kOhms), package type (0402/1005 Metric), and power rating (0.063W/1/16W). All identified substitutes maintain these core specifications. Secondary parameters that differentiate substitutes include tolerance (±1%, ±0.1%, ±0.5%), temperature coefficient (±10ppm/°C to ±50ppm/°C), and special features (Anti-Sulfur, Automotive AEC-Q200 certification). Tolerance tightening from ±1% to ±0.1% represents an upgrade path. Temperature coefficient improvements and automotive certifications indicate enhanced performance grades suitable for demanding applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols. The RG1005P-9761-B-T5 from Susumu is the only substitute carrying AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it the appropriate selection for automotive or high-reliability applications. For applications requiring tighter tolerance control, CPF0402B9K76E1 and RN73C1E9K76BTDF both offer ±0.1% tolerance with improved temperature coefficients (±25ppm/°C and ±10ppm/°C respectively). The YAGEO RT series (RT0402DRD079K76L and RT0402DRE079K76L) provide cost-effective alternatives with ±0.5% tolerance, suitable for general-purpose applications where tolerance relaxation is acceptable. All parts share identical package dimensions, operating temperature range, and power rating, confirming direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability within their respective tolerance and feature specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCS04020C9761FE000 be directly replaced with any of these substitutes? A: Direct replacement is possible only when tolerance and feature requirements are met. The MCS04020C9761FE000 specifies ±1% tolerance. Substitutes with ±0.1% or ±0.5% tolerance are electrically compatible but represent different performance grades. Verify circuit tolerance requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO RT0402DRD079K76L and RT0402DRE079K76L? A: Both parts are identical except for temperature coefficient. RT0402DRD079K76L has ±25ppm/°C while RT0402DRE079K76L has ±50ppm/°C. The RT0402DRE079K76L matches the original MCS04020C9761FE000 temperature coefficient specification.

Q: Which substitute is suitable for automotive applications? A: The RG1005P-9761-B-T5 from Susumi is the only substitute carrying AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is required for automotive-grade reliability and environmental stress screening compliance.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same package? A: Yes. All substitutes use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W / 1.00mm x 0.50mm), confirming PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What does tolerance ±0.1% mean compared to ±1%? A: Tolerance defines the acceptable resistance deviation from the nominal 9.76 kOhms value. ±1% allows ±97.6 Ohms deviation; ±0.1% allows ±9.76 Ohms deviation. Tighter tolerance (±0.1%) is required for precision analog circuits, measurement equipment, and high-accuracy applications.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same moisture sensitivity rating? A: Yes. All parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or reflow soldering processes.
