Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW020156R0FKED is a direct substitute for the RC0603F560CS based on complete alignment of electrical and mechanical specifications. Both components are Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification, ensuring regulatory compliance in current manufacturing environments.

The Vishay Dale CRCW020156R0FKED demonstrates superior performance characteristics in temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C), providing enhanced stability in temperature-sensitive applications while maintaining full backward compatibility.

Selection between these components should be based on packaging format availability: the RC0603F560CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the CRCW020156R0FKED is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are suitable for automated assembly processes with appropriate handling equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW020156R0FKED replace the RC0603F560CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CRCW020156R0FKED meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 56 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.05W power rating, 0201 package dimensions, and identical termination configuration. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated.

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

A: The RC0603F560CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the CRCW020156R0FKED is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Cut Tape is suitable for manual or small-scale assembly, while Tape & Reel is optimized for high-volume automated pick-and-place operations.

Q: Are there differences in temperature performance between these resistors?

A: The CRCW020156R0FKED operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) compared to the RC0603F560CS (-55°C ~ 125°C). Additionally, the CRCW020156R0FKED has a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) versus the RC0603F560CS (±250ppm/°C), resulting in improved stability across temperature variations.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC0603F560CS and CRCW020156R0FKED are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as Active product status, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures. Both the RC0603F560CS and CRCW020156R0FKED carry this rating, simplifying inventory management and logistics.

Q: Can these 0201 package resistors be hand-soldered?

A: The 0201 (0603 Metric) package is extremely small (0.024" L x 0.012" W) and is designed for automated surface mount assembly. Hand soldering is not recommended due to component size and thermal management requirements.
