Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603F682CS are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The primary substitution criteria are:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Temperature coefficient (within thick film specifications)
• Operating temperature range (minimum -55°C, maximum ≥125°C)
• Packaging format (Cut Tape, Tape & Reel, or Digi-Reel acceptable)

Substitute parts meeting all mandatory parameters are classified as direct equivalents regardless of minor variations in temperature coefficient or maximum operating temperature, provided the operating range encompasses the RC0603F682CS specification of -55°C to 125°C.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW02016K80FKED (Vishay Dale) - Direct Equivalent

The CRCW02016K80FKED is a direct functional equivalent to the RC0603F682CS. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and MSL classification. The CRCW02016K80FKED exhibits a superior temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C compared to the RC0603F682CS at ±250ppm/°C, and supports an extended operating temperature range to 155°C. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited MSL ratings. The CRCW02016K80FKED is available in Tape & Reel packaging with 27,223 units in inventory, providing higher stock availability than the main part.

MCR006YRTF6801 (Rohm Semiconductor) - Functional Equivalent with Availability Limitation

The MCR006YRTF6801 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the RC0603F682CS, including identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and temperature coefficient. Both components operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and maintain ROHS3 compliance with unlimited MSL ratings. However, the MCR006YRTF6801 is classified as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability. This part is suitable for applications where existing inventory is available (5,239 units in stock) but should not be selected for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02016K80FKED replace RC0603F682CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The CRCW02016K80FKED meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical specifications of the RC0603F682CS. Both components are 6.8 kOhms ±1% thick film resistors in 0201 packages with identical physical dimensions and MSL ratings. The CRCW02016K80FKED's superior temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs. ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating range (-55°C to 155°C vs. -55°C to 125°C) provide equivalent or enhanced performance across all standard operating conditions.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) are different supply formats for the same component. Cut Tape provides individual strips of components, while Tape & Reel supplies components on continuous reels for automated assembly equipment. The electrical and mechanical specifications of the component remain identical regardless of packaging format. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume needs.

Q: Why is MCR006YRTF6801 marked as discontinued?

A: The MCR006YRTF6801 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating that this distributor no longer actively stocks or supports this part number. Discontinuation status reflects supply chain decisions by individual distributors and does not necessarily indicate the part is unavailable from all sources. For new designs, the CRCW02016K80FKED is recommended due to active product status and higher inventory availability.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RC0603F682CS, CRCW02016K80FKED, and MCR006YRTF6801 are all ROHS3 compliant and carry unlimited MSL ratings (MSL 1), making them suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance and moisture resistance.

Q: What determines if a part is a valid substitute?

A: Valid substitutes for the RC0603F682CS must match all mandatory parameters: 6.8 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.05W power rating, 0201 package, thick film composition, 2 terminations, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Temperature coefficient and maximum operating temperature may vary within thick film specifications, provided the operating range encompasses -55°C to 125°C.
