Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F474CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 470 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (substitute tolerance must not exceed this specification)
• Power rating: 0.05W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (physical compatibility required)
• Composition: Thick Film (maintains electrical characteristics)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: Substitute range may extend beyond the main part specification
• Temperature coefficient: Substitute value may be lower (more stable) than the main part
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all mandatory parameters align

The CRCW0201470KFKED from Vishay Dale qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and composition. The substitute exhibits superior temperature stability (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and extended upper operating temperature limit (155°C versus 125°C), representing equivalent or enhanced performance characteristics.
