Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW02018K06FKED from Vishay Dale is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RC0603F8061CS. Both components satisfy identical specifications for resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and compliance certifications.

Selection Criteria Based on Provided Data:

1. Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

2. Electrical Performance: Identical resistance (8.06 kOhms ±1%) and power rating (0.05W) ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.

3. Mechanical Compatibility: Matching 0201 package dimensions and termination configuration enable direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

4. Environmental Advantages: The Vishay part offers a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -55°C to 125°C), providing performance margin in temperature-sensitive applications.

5. Product Status: Both components are classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02018K06FKED replace RC0603F8061CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Identical resistance values, tolerances, power ratings, and 0201 package dimensions enable direct substitution without circuit modification or PCB redesign.

Q: Are there differences in temperature performance between these parts?

A: The Vishay CRCW02018K06FKED operates to 155°C compared to the Samsung RC0603F8061CS at 125°C. The Vishay part also features a lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C). These differences provide performance margin but do not prevent substitution in applications operating within the overlapping -55°C to 125°C range.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC0603F8061CS and CRCW02018K06FKED are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture resistance) ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the 0201 package designation?

A: The 0201 (0603 Metric) package is the physical form factor. Both parts share identical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and height (0.010" / 0.26mm), ensuring compatibility with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: Are there any composition or material differences?

A: Both parts are thick film chip resistors with identical composition. The Samsung RC0603F8061CS includes moisture resistant features; the Vishay CRCW02018K06FKED achieves equivalent environmental protection through MSL 1 classification.

Q: What packaging format is used for both parts?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated PCB assembly operations.
