Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for RC0603F561CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 560 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical Dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Temperature Coefficient: RC0603F561CS operates at ±250ppm/°C; substitute CRCW0201560RFKED operates at ±100ppm/°C (lower coefficient acceptable)
• Operating Temperature Range: RC0603F561CS operates -55°C ~ 125°C; substitute CRCW0201560RFKED operates -55°C ~ 155°C (extended upper limit acceptable)
• Packaging Format: Cut Tape (CT) vs. Tape & Reel (TR) (format variation acceptable based on procurement requirements)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (both parts meet requirement)
• REACH Unaffected (both parts meet requirement)
• MSL 1 / Unlimited (both parts meet requirement)

The CRCW0201560RFKED manufactured by Vishay Dale qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment with acceptable environmental performance enhancements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603F561CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

Selection criteria: Primary choice when Samsung supply chain is established, Cut Tape packaging is required for automated assembly processes, or when the ±250ppm/°C temperature coefficient specification is explicitly required by circuit design. Product status is Active with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Current inventory: 2,572 pieces.

CRCW0201560RFKED (Vishay Dale)

Selection criteria: Suitable substitute when Vishay Dale supply chain is preferred, Tape & Reel packaging accommodates production requirements, or when the extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) provide performance advantages. Product status is Active with full RoHS3 and REACH compliance. Current inventory: 10,114 pieces.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance requirements. Selection between these parts is determined by procurement availability, packaging format requirements, and supply chain logistics rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0201560RFKED replace RC0603F561CS in existing designs without circuit modification?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in resistance value (560 Ohms ±1%), power rating (0.05W), package dimensions (0201 / 0603 Metric), and composition (thick film). The CRCW0201560RFKED offers enhanced specifications with lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs. ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C vs. -55°C ~ 125°C), making it functionally compatible without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components in individual strips cut to specified lengths, suitable for manual assembly or small-batch production. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous reels, optimized for high-volume automated assembly processes. Both packaging formats contain identical components; selection depends on production methodology and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F561CS and CRCW0201560RFKED are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity, meaning the component requires no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. Both parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: CRCW0201560RFKED supports extended operating temperature to 155°C compared to RC0603F561CS at 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, CRCW0201560RFKED is the appropriate selection. For applications within -55°C ~ 125°C range, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of temperature coefficient difference (±250ppm/°C vs. ±100ppm/°C)?

A: Temperature coefficient defines resistance value drift across the operating temperature range. CRCW0201560RFKED exhibits lower drift (±100ppm/°C), providing superior resistance stability across temperature variations. For precision analog circuits sensitive to resistance tolerance, CRCW0201560RFKED offers performance advantage. For general-purpose digital and switching applications, both coefficients are acceptable.
