RC0603J563CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC0603J563CS is a 56 kOhms ±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 648 pieces currently in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental operating parameters align within acceptable tolerances for the application. Substitution becomes necessary due to inventory availability, manufacturing discontinuation, or design optimization requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603J563CS are classified into two categories based on electrical parameter alignment:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain the 56 kOhms resistance value and 0.05W power rating while improving tolerance specification from ±5% to ±1%. These parts are electrically superior and mechanically compatible:

• RC0603F563CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics, ±1% tolerance)
• CRCW020156K0FKED (Vishay Dale, ±1% tolerance)

Similar Substitutes maintain identical electrical specifications (56 kOhms ±5%, 0.05W) and mechanical dimensions but differ in manufacturer and product status:

• MCR006YRTJ563 (Rohm Semiconductor, ±5% tolerance, Discontinued at DiGi Electronics)

All substitute parts share the following critical parameters with the main part:

• Resistance value: 56 kOhms
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Package: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Composition: Thick Film
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C minimum

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603F563CS is the preferred upgrade substitute. It maintains Active product status with identical mechanical compatibility and environmental specifications as the main part. The tolerance improvement from ±5% to ±1% provides enhanced circuit accuracy without design modification. Both Samsung Electro-Mechanics parts share identical temperature coefficient (±250 ppm/°C) and operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Cut Tape packaging requires different handling procedures than Tape & Reel.

CRCW020156K0FKED (Vishay Dale CRCW series) is an alternative upgrade substitute with superior temperature coefficient (±100 ppm/°C versus ±250 ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range to 155°C. This part maintains Active status and Tape & Reel packaging compatibility. The improved thermal stability and wider temperature range support applications with elevated ambient conditions.

MCR006YRTJ563 (Rohm Semiconductor MCR series) maintains electrical equivalence with ±5% tolerance matching the main part. However, this part is classified as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting long-term supply availability. Selection of this substitute is appropriate only when existing inventory must be consumed or when tolerance upgrade is not required.

All substitute parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements, ensuring regulatory and moisture handling compatibility with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603F563CS replace RC0603J563CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. RC0603F563CS is mechanically and electrically compatible. The ±1% tolerance is superior to the ±5% specification of RC0603J563CS. Both parts share identical package dimensions (0201/0603 Metric), power rating (0.05W), temperature coefficient (±250 ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The primary difference is packaging format: RC0603F563CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) while RC0603J563CS is Tape & Reel (TR).

Q: What is the difference between CRCW020156K0FKED and RC0603F563CS?

A: Both parts provide ±1% tolerance and 56 kOhms resistance in 0201 package. CRCW020156K0FKED offers superior temperature coefficient (±100 ppm/°C versus ±250 ppm/°C) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C versus -55°C ~ 125°C). CRCW020156K0FKED is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Selection depends on thermal performance requirements and temperature environment.

Q: Is MCR006YRTJ563 suitable for new designs?

A: MCR006YRTJ563 is classified as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While electrically equivalent to RC0603J563CS with matching ±5% tolerance and -55°C ~ 125°C operating range, long-term supply cannot be assured. This part is appropriate only for legacy design support or inventory consumption. New designs should specify RC0603J563CS, RC0603F563CS, or CRCW020156K0FKED.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. RC0603J563CS, RC0603F563CS, CRCW020156K0FKED, and MCR006YRTJ563 are all ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to substitution?

A: RC0603J563CS and CRCW020156K0FKED are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RC0603F563CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT). MCR006YRTJ563 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® format. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes, while Cut Tape requires manual handling or specialized equipment. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly procedures before substitution.

Q: Can tolerance be downgraded from ±1% to ±5%?

A: Tolerance downgrade from ±1% to ±5% is not recommended for direct substitution. While RC0603F563CS and CRCW020156K0FKED (±1%) can replace RC0603J563CS (±5%), the reverse substitution reduces circuit accuracy. If tolerance relaxation is required, design review must confirm that ±5% specification meets circuit performance requirements.
