Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F5621CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 5.62 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Composition: Thick Film

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package format: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.010" (0.26mm) or less (equal or lower acceptable)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent (required)
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -55°C ~ 125°C minimum

The CRCW02015K62FKED manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (RC0603F5621CS - Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Active product status with established supply chain
• RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Suitable for standard industrial applications within -55°C to 125°C range
• Current inventory: 812 pieces

Substitute Selection (CRCW02015K62FKED - Vishay Dale):

• Active product status with extended availability
• RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating
• Superior temperature coefficient performance (±100ppm/°C vs ±250ppm/°C)
• Extended operating temperature range to +155°C provides margin for high-temperature applications
• Significantly higher inventory availability: 37,360 pieces
• Direct pin-for-pin and footprint compatibility

Both components satisfy identical mechanical, electrical, and regulatory requirements for standard PCB assembly processes. Selection between them depends on supply availability, inventory requirements, and application temperature margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02015K62FKED replace RC0603F5621CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (5.62 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package format (0201), physical dimensions, and regulatory compliance. No design modifications are required. The Vishay component offers improved temperature coefficient stability and extended operating range.

Q: Are the physical footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both components use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). PCB layouts and assembly fixtures require no modification.

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

A: The RC0603F5621CS has a temperature coefficient of ±250ppm/°C, while the CRCW02015K62FKED has ±100ppm/°C. The Vishay component exhibits superior resistance stability across temperature variations, beneficial for precision analog circuits and temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F5621CS and CRCW02015K62FKED are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, suitable for standard reflow soldering and storage conditions without special handling.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: RC0603F5621CS operates from -55°C to 125°C. CRCW02015K62FKED extends to -55°C to 155°C. For applications requiring operation above 125°C, the Vishay component provides additional thermal margin.
