Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0402J470CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value must be 47 Ohms
• Power rating must be 0.03W (1/32W) or higher
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 125°C
• Temperature coefficient must be ±250ppm/°C or better

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package format must be 01005 (0402 Metric)
• Physical dimensions must match: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Height seated maximum must not exceed 0.006" (0.15mm)
• Composition must be thick film

Compliance Parameters (Required):

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) required
• REACH Unaffected status required

Tolerance Consideration: The RC0402J470CS specifies ±5% tolerance. Substitute parts with tighter tolerance specifications (such as ±1%) are acceptable as they represent improved performance within the same application context, provided all other parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0402J470CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

The RC0402J470CS is the primary component specification. It is in active production status with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring standard ±5% tolerance thick film resistors in the 01005 package format.

CRCW010047R0FREL (Vishay Dale)

The CRCW010047R0FREL is a direct substitute for the RC0402J470CS. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering improved tolerance specification at ±1%. Both components are in active production status with identical ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. The CRCW010047R0FREL is suitable for applications where tighter tolerance performance is beneficial or where Vishay Dale supply chain availability is preferred.

Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99, making them suitable for equivalent component selection in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW010047R0FREL replace RC0402J470CS in my circuit?

A: Yes. The CRCW010047R0FREL is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC0402J470CS. Both components have identical resistance values (47 Ohms), power ratings (0.03W), package dimensions (01005), and operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). The CRCW010047R0FREL features a tighter tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%), which represents improved performance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the tolerance difference between ±5% and ±1%?

A: Tolerance specifies the maximum deviation of the actual resistance value from the nominal 47 Ohm specification. The RC0402J470CS allows deviation up to ±5% (44.65 to 49.35 Ohms), while the CRCW010047R0FREL allows deviation up to ±1% (46.53 to 47.47 Ohms). Applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy benefit from the ±1% specification. Both tolerances are acceptable for standard circuit applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the RC0402J470CS and CRCW010047R0FREL are packaged in the 01005 (0402 Metric) format with identical dimensions of 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm) and maximum seated height of 0.006" (0.15mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts designed for the 01005 package.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC0402J470CS and CRCW010047R0FREL are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030. They meet identical regulatory and environmental compliance standards.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts specify a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C. This parameter indicates how much the resistance value changes with temperature variations. A ±250ppm/°C specification means the resistance can change by up to 0.025% per degree Celsius. Both parts maintain this specification across the full operating range of -55°C to 125°C, ensuring consistent performance in temperature-variable environments.

Q: Can I use these parts in high-frequency applications?

A: The provided specifications do not include frequency response or high-frequency performance data. Component selection for high-frequency applications requires additional technical parameters not included in this reference. Consult manufacturer datasheets for frequency-dependent characteristics.

Q: What packaging format is used for these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, which is standard for automated PCB assembly processes. The 01005 package format is one of the smallest standard chip resistor sizes, suitable for high-density circuit board designs.
