RC0402J561CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0402J561CS is a 560 Ohm ±5% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 01005 (0402 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.03W (1/32W) power dissipation and is designed for moisture-resistant applications across industrial and consumer electronics. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical package dimensions, and environmental operating parameters. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or inventory limitations while maintaining identical functional performance in the target application.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0402J561CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 560 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±5% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.03W minimum (1/32W)
• Composition: Thick Film

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package format: 01005 (0402 Metric) only
• Physical dimensions: 0.016" L x 0.008" W (0.40mm x 0.20mm)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Height seated maximum: 0.006" (0.15mm)

Environmental & Compliance Equivalence:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C minimum
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 or better
• RoHS3 compliance required
• REACH unaffected status

The ERJ-XGNJ561Y from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ERJ-XGNJ561Y qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC0402J561CS based on complete parameter alignment across electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Both components maintain Active product status and satisfy all regulatory requirements including RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation.

The Panasonic ERJ-XGNJ561Y exhibits a superior temperature coefficient specification (±200ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C), which provides enhanced stability across the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This characteristic represents an engineering advantage in precision applications requiring tighter tolerance maintenance over temperature variations.

Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes. The identical 01005 (0402 Metric) package dimensions and termination configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without design modification.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and cost considerations, as functional performance and reliability characteristics are equivalent for the specified application parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERJ-XGNJ561Y be used as a direct replacement for RC0402J561CS without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package dimensions (0.016" L x 0.008" W), height specifications (0.006" maximum seated height), and two-termination configuration. PCB footprints are directly compatible without modification.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference between these parts?

A: The RC0402J561CS specifies ±250ppm/°C while the ERJ-XGNJ561Y specifies ±200ppm/°C. The Panasonic part exhibits lower temperature-induced resistance drift, resulting in more stable performance across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. For applications requiring high precision over temperature extremes, the ERJ-XGNJ561Y provides superior stability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for moisture-sensitive applications?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level rating, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. Storage and assembly processes do not require special moisture control measures.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC0402J561CS and ERJ-XGNJ561Y are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations for electronics manufacturing.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated surface mount assembly operations. Reel specifications and tape pitch are consistent with industry standard 01005 package handling equipment.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in production runs?

A: Yes. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent, allowing both parts to be used interchangeably within the same production batch or assembly process without functional impact or performance degradation.
