Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603F473CS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria are:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 47 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)
• REACH status (Unaffected)

The CRCW020147K0FKED from Vishay Dale meets all primary electrical specifications and compliance requirements. Variations in temperature coefficient and maximum operating temperature do not disqualify substitution when the application operating range remains within the substitute part's specified limits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0603F473CS and CRCW020147K0FKED are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

RC0603F473CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) is suitable for applications where the operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is sufficient and where the temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C meets circuit accuracy requirements.

CRCW020147K0FKED (Vishay Dale) is suitable for applications requiring extended operating temperature range up to 155°C and where the lower temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C provides improved temperature stability. This part is available in higher inventory quantities.

Both parts are identical in physical dimensions, electrical ratings, and compliance certifications. Selection should be based on thermal performance requirements, supply chain availability, and lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW020147K0FKED be used as a direct replacement for RC0603F473CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (47 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package (0201), and physical dimensions. Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The substitute part has a lower temperature coefficient and extended operating temperature range, making it compatible for applications within the original part's specified temperature limits.

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

A: The RC0603F473CS has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the CRCW020147K0FKED has ±100ppm/°C. The lower coefficient of the Vishay part provides better resistance stability across temperature variations. For applications with tight tolerance requirements across temperature ranges, the Vishay part offers superior performance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). They are fully compatible for PCB layout and assembly processes.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The RC0603F473CS operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the CRCW020147K0FKED operates from -55°C to 155°C. If your application operates within -55°C to 125°C, both parts are suitable. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, only the Vishay part is rated.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RC0603F473CS and CRCW020147K0FKED are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RC0603F473CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The CRCW020147K0FKED is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, with Tape & Reel (TR) also available. Verify packaging format requirements with your procurement specifications.
