RC0603J561CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0603J561CS is a 560 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 full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging with 776 pieces currently in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when applications require alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or when design specifications permit tolerance or performance upgrades within the same electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603J561CS are classified into two categories based on electrical parameter compatibility:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain the same resistance value (560 Ohms) and package (0201), but feature improved tolerance specifications (±1% versus ±5%). These parts are direct functional upgrades suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy while maintaining identical mechanical and thermal characteristics.

Similar Substitutes match the original part's resistance, tolerance, and power rating but may differ in manufacturer, temperature coefficient, or operating temperature range. These parts are functionally equivalent for applications where the original specifications are not critical constraints.

The primary substitution criteria are:

• Resistance value: 560 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package type: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W minimum (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• RoHS3 compliance (mandatory for regulated applications)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603F561CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) is the primary upgrade substitute. It maintains identical mechanical and thermal specifications while providing ±1% tolerance versus the original ±5%. Both parts are Active status with equivalent RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. This substitution is appropriate for applications requiring improved resistance accuracy without design modification.

CRCW0201560RFKED (Vishay Dale) is an alternative upgrade substitute offering ±1% tolerance with an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and superior temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C). This part is suitable for high-temperature applications or designs requiring enhanced thermal stability. Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance are confirmed.

MCR006YRTJ561 (Rohm Semiconductor) is a functionally equivalent substitute matching the original ±5% tolerance and thermal specifications. However, this part is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting long-term availability. Selection of this part is not recommended for new designs or applications requiring sustained supply.

For new designs and applications prioritizing component availability, RC0603F561CS or CRCW0201560RFKED are preferred selections. For existing designs currently using RC0603J561CS, either upgrade substitute provides direct compatibility with potential performance improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603F561CS replace RC0603J561CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. RC0603F561CS is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute with identical package dimensions (0201), power rating (0.05W), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The ±1% tolerance of RC0603F561CS is tighter than the original ±5%, making it suitable for all applications currently using RC0603J561CS without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the upgrade substitutes?

A: RC0603F561CS and CRCW0201560RFKED both provide ±1% tolerance. CRCW0201560RFKED offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and lower temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). Selection depends on application temperature requirements and thermal stability needs.

Q: Why is MCR006YRTJ561 listed as a similar substitute if it is discontinued?

A: MCR006YRTJ561 is documented as a functionally equivalent part with matching electrical specifications (560 Ohms, ±5%, 0.05W). However, its Discontinued status at DiGi Electronics indicates limited future availability. This part is included for reference in legacy system documentation but is not recommended for new procurement.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC0603F561CS, CRCW0201560RFKED, and MCR006YRTJ561 are all ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, matching the original RC0603J561CS compliance profile.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: RC0603F561CS and CRCW0201560RFKED are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with RC0603J561CS. Both maintain the 0201 package footprint and 0.05W power rating. Design validation should confirm that improved tolerance specifications do not introduce unintended circuit behavior in applications where the original ±5% tolerance was intentionally specified.
