Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603F2741CS are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.74 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Composition: Thick Film

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.010" (0.26mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Operating temperature range compatibility

The CRCW02012K74FKED from Vishay Dale meets all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. Substitution is valid where these parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0603F2741CS and CRCW02012K74FKED are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

RC0603F2741CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Primary choice where Samsung component qualification is required
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C
• Operating range: -55°C to 125°C
• Current inventory: 872 Pcs

CRCW02012K74FKED (Vishay Dale):

• Alternative where extended temperature performance is beneficial
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (superior stability)
• Operating range: -55°C to 155°C (extended upper limit)
• Current inventory: 4568 Pcs

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications (2.74 kOhms ±1%, 0.05W), mechanical dimensions (0201 package), and compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1). The Vishay Dale substitute offers improved temperature coefficient performance and extended operating temperature range, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal stability or operation above 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02012K74FKED directly replace RC0603F2741CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (2.74 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package type (0201), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is valid for standard circuit applications.

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

A: The RC0603F2741CS has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the CRCW02012K74FKED has ±100ppm/°C. The Vishay Dale part exhibits superior temperature stability. This difference is relevant only in precision analog circuits where temperature-induced resistance drift must be minimized.

Q: Are there operating temperature range limitations when substituting?

A: The RC0603F2741CS operates from -55°C to 125°C. The CRCW02012K74FKED operates from -55°C to 155°C. If the application requires operation above 125°C, only the Vishay Dale substitute is suitable. For applications within -55°C to 125°C, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Do both parts use the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the RC0603F2741CS and CRCW02012K74FKED are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). No PCB layout or assembly process modifications are required.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for both parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Standard storage conditions are acceptable for both components.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RC0603F2741CS and CRCW02012K74FKED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
