RC0603F150CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0603F150CS is a 15 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.05W (1/20W) in a 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status with 927 pieces currently in stock. The part is designed for applications requiring precision resistive elements with moisture resistance and stable performance across industrial temperature ranges. Substitute parts are necessary when primary inventory becomes unavailable or when supply chain optimization requires alternative qualified sources meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F150CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm (exact match required)
• Maximum seated height: 0.010" (0.26mm) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)
• REACH Unaffected status (required)

The MCR006YRTF15R0 manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor meets all specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements and qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC0603F150CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The MCR006YRTF15R0 from Rohm Semiconductor is a qualified direct substitute for the RC0603F150CS. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications (15 Ohms ±1%, 0.05W power rating, ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 125°C operating range) and mechanical requirements (0201 package, 0.60mm x 0.30mm dimensions). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status.

The primary distinction is product status: RC0603F150CS maintains Active status with 927 units in stock, while MCR006YRTF15R0 is Discontinued at DiGi Electronics with 8667 units available. Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, lead time considerations, and inventory management objectives. Both components are electrically and mechanically interchangeable without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR006YRTF15R0 be used as a direct replacement for RC0603F150CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The MCR006YRTF15R0 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RC0603F150CS. Both components feature identical resistance (15 Ohms ±1%), power rating (0.05W), temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and 0201 package dimensions (0.60mm x 0.30mm). No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RC0603F150CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the MCR006YRTF15R0 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. Both packaging formats are standard for 0201 surface mount components and are compatible with automated assembly equipment. Packaging selection depends on production volume and handling requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F150CS and MCR006YRTF15R0 are ROHS3 Compliant, carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), and maintain REACH Unaffected status. Both components are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.

Q: What is the significance of the ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: The ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient defines the maximum resistance change per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range. This specification ensures predictable resistive behavior in applications operating between -55°C and 125°C. Both substitute parts maintain this identical specification.

Q: Why is the MCR006YRTF15R0 listed as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics?

A: Product discontinuation at a specific distributor does not indicate component obsolescence. The MCR006YRTF15R0 remains available through alternative distribution channels with 8667 units in stock. Discontinuation status reflects distributor inventory decisions rather than manufacturer support or component availability.
