Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603J474CS are classified based on strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 470 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C ~ 125°C (equal or extended range acceptable)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

Substitution Categories:

Upgrade Substitute: CRCW0201470KFKED (Vishay Dale) — Enhanced tolerance specification (±1% vs. ±5%) with improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs. ±250ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). All core electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible.

Similar Substitute: MCR006YRTJ474 (Rohm Semiconductor) — Identical electrical specifications (470 kOhms ±5%, 0.05W) and mechanical package. Product status is Discontinued at DiGi Electronics; however, 4910 pieces remain in inventory. Suitable for direct replacement in applications where tolerance and temperature coefficient specifications match the original design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): MCR006YRTJ474 (Rohm Semiconductor) provides functional equivalence with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. Despite discontinued status at DiGi Electronics, substantial inventory (4910 pieces) is available. This part is suitable for applications where the original design specifications must be maintained without modification.

For Enhanced Performance: CRCW0201470KFKED (Vishay Dale) is selected when improved tolerance (±1% vs. ±5%) and lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs. ±250ppm/°C) are required. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) provides additional thermal margin. This upgrade maintains full compatibility with the 0201 package and all compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity requirements. REACH status is unaffected for all listed parts. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8533.21.0030) remain consistent across all substitutes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0201470KFKED replace RC0603J474CS in any application? A: CRCW0201470KFKED is compatible with RC0603J474CS in all applications where the design tolerates improved tolerance (±1%) and lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). The identical 0201 package and power rating ensure mechanical and thermal compatibility. Applications requiring the original ±5% tolerance specification must verify that tighter tolerance does not introduce unintended circuit behavior.

Q: What is the difference between "Upgrade" and "Similar" substitute classifications? A: "Upgrade" substitutes (CRCW0201470KFKED) provide enhanced electrical specifications while maintaining core parameter compatibility. "Similar" substitutes (MCR006YRTJ474) match the original part specifications exactly. Selection depends on whether improved performance characteristics are beneficial or unnecessary for the application.

Q: Is MCR006YRTJ474 still available despite discontinued status? A: MCR006YRTJ474 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but 4910 pieces remain in current inventory. Availability through alternative distributors should be verified for production quantities. This part is suitable for immediate use from existing stock.

Q: Do all substitute parts use the same 0201 package? A: Yes. RC0603J474CS, CRCW0201470KFKED, and MCR006YRTJ474 all use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W / 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height (0.010" / 0.26mm). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences between the main part and substitutes? A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited), REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 with HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. No compliance or certification differences exist.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part? A: RC0603J474CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). CRCW0201470KFKED is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). MCR006YRTJ474 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel®. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.
