Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0603F6041CS and CRCW02016K04FKED are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected certification. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 6.04 kOhms ±1% 0.05W thick film chip resistor applications in 0201 package format.

The CRCW02016K04FKED demonstrates superior temperature coefficient performance (±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. Both components maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions.

Component selection between these equivalents is determined by application-specific temperature performance requirements and supplier availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02016K04FKED directly replace RC0603F6041CS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (6.04 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), composition (Thick Film), and package dimensions (0201 / 0603 Metric). Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C for CRCW02016K04FKED versus ±250ppm/°C for RC0603F6041CS) and maximum operating temperature (155°C versus 125°C). Both differences favor the Vishay Dale component in temperature-critical applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F6041CS and CRCW02016K04FKED are RoHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity mean?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture-related handling restrictions. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard warehouse conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are there any package or footprint compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both components use identical 0201 (0603 Metric) package specifications with matching physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height (0.010" / 0.26mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The CRCW02016K04FKED is suitable for applications requiring operation up to 155°C, compared to the RC0603F6041CS maximum of 125°C. Temperature coefficient performance also favors the Vishay Dale component (±100ppm/°C).
