Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F563CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 56 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.010" (0.26mm)
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Operating temperature range may extend beyond the base specification
• Temperature coefficient may differ within industry-standard ranges for thick film resistors
• Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility
• Supplier inventory levels do not affect substitution validity

The CRCW020156K0FKED from Vishay Dale meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603F563CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

Select this part when:

• Original design specification requires Samsung Electro-Mechanics RC series components
• Cut Tape (CT) packaging format is required for assembly processes
• Current inventory availability (9114 pieces) meets procurement timelines
• Moisture resistant thick film composition is specified in design documentation
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C is sufficient for application requirements

CRCW020156K0FKED (Vishay Dale)

Select this part when:

• Supply chain diversification is required
• Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format is compatible with automated assembly equipment
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) provides design margin for high-temperature applications
• Tighter temperature coefficient specification (±100 ppm/°C vs. ±250 ppm/°C) improves frequency stability or precision circuit performance
• Higher inventory availability (45937 pieces) supports larger production volumes
• Vishay Dale component qualification is established in design or procurement standards

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW020156K0FKED be used as a direct replacement for RC0603F563CS in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (56 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package dimensions (0201 / 0603 Metric), and physical footprint (0.024" L x 0.012" W, 0.010" max height). No PCB layout modifications are required. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), which does not affect board-level compatibility.

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

A: Temperature coefficient defines resistance value drift across the operating temperature range. The Vishay Dale CRCW020156K0FKED exhibits tighter temperature stability (±100 ppm/°C) compared to the Samsung RC0603F563CS (±250 ppm/°C). For precision analog circuits, timing networks, or applications with wide temperature swings, the lower temperature coefficient of the Vishay part provides improved performance stability. For general-purpose digital or non-critical analog applications, both specifications are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity or reliability differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. Both are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Failure rate data is not provided for either component in the specification set.

Q: What packaging format should I specify for high-volume production?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, as supplied with the CRCW020156K0FKED, is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly processes and reduces component handling labor. Cut Tape (CT) packaging, as supplied with the RC0603F563CS, is suitable for manual assembly, prototyping, or lower-volume production runs. Packaging format selection depends on manufacturing process capability, not electrical performance.

Q: Can I mix RC0603F563CS and CRCW020156K0FKED components in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent for the specified 56 kOhms ±1% 0.05W 0201 application. Mixed sourcing is permissible from a design and assembly perspective. However, procurement and inventory management practices should document the substitution to maintain traceability and support future maintenance or rework operations.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for each part?

A: RC0603F563CS operates from -55°C to 125°C. CRCW020156K0FKED operates from -55°C to 155°C. If your application requires sustained operation above 125°C, the Vishay Dale part provides extended temperature capability. For applications within the -55°C to 125°C range, both parts are equivalent.
