Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC0603J622CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.2 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric)
• Power rating: 0.05W (1/20W)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm)
• Composition: Thick Film

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: Substitutes with ±1% tolerance are acceptable as they represent improved precision relative to the ±5% specification
• Temperature coefficient: Substitutes with ±100ppm/°C or ±250ppm/°C are acceptable within the operating temperature range
• Operating temperature range: Substitutes with extended upper temperature limits (155°C vs. 125°C) are acceptable

Substitute parts are classified as follows:

Upgrade Substitute: CRCW02016K20FKED (Vishay Dale) provides improved tolerance specification (±1% vs. ±5%) while maintaining all other critical parameters.

Similar Substitute: MCR006YRTF6201 (Rohm Semiconductor) matches tolerance and electrical specifications but carries a discontinued product status at the supplier level.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603J622CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) - Primary Selection

The RC0603J622CS remains the primary component choice. It is actively manufactured and stocked with 651 units available. The part carries RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status. The ±5% tolerance is suitable for general-purpose applications where precision requirements do not demand tighter specifications.

CRCW02016K20FKED (Vishay Dale) - Upgrade Substitute

The CRCW02016K20FKED is qualified as an upgrade substitute for applications requiring improved tolerance performance. This part provides ±1% tolerance specification, reducing resistive value drift compared to the primary part. The extended operating temperature range to 155°C and improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C vs. ±250ppm/°C) support applications with stricter thermal stability requirements. High inventory availability (18,033 units) supports supply chain continuity. RoHS and MSL compliance data are not provided in the available specifications.

MCR006YRTF6201 (Rohm Semiconductor) - Similar Substitute

The MCR006YRTF6201 matches the electrical specifications of the primary part with ±1% tolerance and identical operating temperature range. However, this part carries a discontinued product status at the supplier level, limiting its suitability for new designs or long-term production commitments. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are confirmed. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance or short-term component replacement where supply continuity is not a design constraint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW02016K20FKED be used as a direct replacement for RC0603J622CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (6.2 kOhms), package type (0201), power rating (0.05W), and physical dimensions. The CRCW02016K20FKED provides improved tolerance (±1% vs. ±5%), making it suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the RC0603J622CS is specified.

Q: What is the difference between the ±5% and ±1% tolerance specifications?

A: Tolerance defines the allowable deviation from the nominal resistance value. The RC0603J622CS with ±5% tolerance allows resistance values between 5.89 kOhms and 6.51 kOhms. The CRCW02016K20FKED with ±1% tolerance restricts values to between 6.138 kOhms and 6.262 kOhms. Applications requiring tighter resistive accuracy benefit from the ±1% specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts conform to the 0201 (0603 Metric) package standard with dimensions of 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Why is MCR006YRTF6201 marked as discontinued?

A: The MCR006YRTF6201 is discontinued at the DiGi Electronics supplier level. This status indicates that the part is no longer actively stocked or supported for new orders through this distribution channel. Discontinued status does not reflect the manufacturing status but rather supplier availability.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient specification?

A: Temperature coefficient (ppm/°C) measures how much the resistance value changes with temperature. The CRCW02016K20FKED with ±100ppm/°C exhibits lower temperature-induced drift compared to the RC0603J622CS and MCR006YRTF6201 at ±250ppm/°C. Applications operating across wide temperature ranges benefit from lower temperature coefficients.

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

A: The CRCW02016K20FKED supports operation to 155°C, while the RC0603J622CS and MCR006YRTF6201 are rated to 125°C. For applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C, the CRCW02016K20FKED is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does MSL 1 rating indicate?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake requirements. Components with MSL 1 rating do not require special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying logistics and inventory management.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: The RC0603J622CS and MCR006YRTF6201 are confirmed RoHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the CRCW02016K20FKED is not specified in the available data. Verification with the manufacturer is recommended for applications with explicit RoHS compliance requirements.
