RC0603J360CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0603J360CS is a 36 Ohm ±5% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.05W (1/20W) in a 0201 (0603 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status with 944 pieces currently in stock. The part is designed for applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary manufacturer part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits equivalent component selection based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603J360CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 36 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±5%
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• 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

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

The substitute part MCR006YRTJ360 manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. Composition type (thick film) and environmental specifications align with the primary part requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: RC0603J360CS

• Product Status: Active
• Availability: 944 pieces in stock
• Recommended for new designs and applications requiring active manufacturer support

Substitute Part: MCR006YRTJ360

• Product Status: Discontinued at DiGi Electronics
• Availability: 10,366 pieces in stock
• Suitable for applications where existing inventory is available and supply chain flexibility is acceptable
• All electrical, mechanical, and compliance specifications are equivalent to the primary part
• RoHS3 and REACH compliance maintained

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain requirements, inventory availability, and lead time considerations. Both parts satisfy identical functional and environmental specifications for 36 Ohm ±5% 0.05W thick film resistor applications in 0201 package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MCR006YRTJ360 be used as a direct replacement for RC0603J360CS?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (36 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.05W), package dimensions (0201/0603 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: RC0603J360CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. MCR006YRTJ360 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Both formats contain the same component in identical 0201 package configuration.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical environmental ratings including MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: Why is MCR006YRTJ360 marked as discontinued?

A: The part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics as a distributor. Rohm Semiconductor may continue manufacturing. Verify current availability through alternative distribution channels if this part is required.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching: resistance value (36 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.05W), package type (0201), physical dimensions (0.024" x 0.012"), temperature coefficient (±250ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: Can these parts be used in high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts meet RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements. Verify specific reliability requirements (failure rate, qualification standards) with your application specifications and manufacturer datasheets.
