Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC0603F472CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 4.7 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Composition: Thick Film

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Package / Case: 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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part CRCW02014K70FKED meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in temperature coefficient and maximum operating temperature do not disqualify substitution when the primary part is unavailable, provided the application requirements fall within the substitute's operating range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW02014K70FKED from Vishay Dale is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RC0603F472CS. Both components are Active product status and ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. The substitute part demonstrates superior performance characteristics in temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and extended maximum operating temperature (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C), making it suitable for applications with more stringent thermal stability requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Availability and Lead Time: CRCW02014K70FKED inventory (78,259 pcs) significantly exceeds RC0603F472CS inventory (789 pcs).
2. Packaging Format: RC0603F472CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR); CRCW02014K70FKED is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.
3. Application Temperature Range: If the application operates within -55°C ~ 125°C, both parts are suitable. If extended temperature operation to 155°C is required, CRCW02014K70FKED is the appropriate choice.
4. Compliance Requirements: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH Unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02014K70FKED replace RC0603F472CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (4.7 kOhms ±1%, 0.05W), composition (thick film), and mechanical dimensions (0201 package, 0.024" L x 0.012" W). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these two parts?

A: RC0603F472CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while CRCW02014K70FKED is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both are standard surface mount packaging options. Selection depends on your assembly equipment and production volume requirements.

Q: Are there differences in temperature performance?

A: Yes. CRCW02014K70FKED has a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and extended maximum operating temperature (155°C versus 125°C). For applications requiring high-temperature stability, CRCW02014K70FKED is the superior choice.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F472CS and CRCW02014K70FKED are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: Both components have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling procedures apply.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-volume production?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process accommodates the packaging format supplied. Verify that your pick-and-place equipment and tape specifications are compatible with the selected packaging option (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®).
