RC0603J823CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC0603J823CS is an 82 kOhms ±5% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 0201 (0603 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The component is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit tolerance upgrades, manufacturer changes, or when primary inventory becomes unavailable while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for RC0603J823CS are classified into two categories based on allowed parameter variations:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain identical resistance value and package while improving tolerance specification from ±5% to ±1%. These parts are direct functional upgrades suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance accuracy. Upgrade substitutes include RC0603F823CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) and CRCW020182K0FKED (Vishay Dale).

Similar Substitutes maintain all core electrical parameters (82 kOhms, ±5% tolerance, 0.05W power rating, 0201 package) but originate from different manufacturers or have different product status. MCR006YRTJ823 (Rohm Semiconductor) is classified as similar; this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remains functionally equivalent for applications where tolerance and power specifications are non-negotiable.

Substitution eligibility is determined by:

• Identical resistance value (82 kOhms)
• Equal or tighter tolerance (±5% or better)
• Equal or greater power rating (0.05W minimum)
• Identical package format (0201 / 0603 Metric)
• Identical composition (Thick Film)
• Compatible operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C minimum)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603F823CS is the primary upgrade substitute. It is manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics (same OEM as the main part), maintains active product status, and improves tolerance to ±1% while preserving all other electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced accuracy without design modification.

CRCW020182K0FKED is an alternative upgrade substitute from Vishay Dale. It offers ±1% tolerance with an extended operating temperature range to 155°C and improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C). This part is appropriate for applications operating at elevated temperatures or requiring superior temperature stability. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed.

MCR006YRTJ823 maintains identical electrical specifications to the main part (82 kOhms, ±5%, 0.05W) but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. This part is suitable only for applications where existing inventory is available and tolerance/temperature specifications cannot be upgraded. Use is not recommended for new designs due to discontinued status.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming environmental and regulatory compatibility with the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603F823CS replace RC0603J823CS in all applications?

A: RC0603F823CS is a direct substitute with improved tolerance (±1% versus ±5%). It is physically and electrically compatible, maintaining identical package, power rating, and operating temperature range. The tighter tolerance represents an upgrade suitable for all applications where the original part functions.

Q: What is the difference between upgrade and similar substitutes?

A: Upgrade substitutes improve one or more electrical parameters (typically tolerance or temperature coefficient) while maintaining all other specifications. Similar substitutes maintain identical core parameters but may originate from different manufacturers or have different product status. Both categories are functionally compatible within their specified parameters.

Q: Is CRCW020182K0FKED suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: CRCW020182K0FKED operates to 155°C, extending 30°C beyond the RC0603J823CS specification of 125°C. It is suitable for applications requiring operation at elevated temperatures. The improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) also provides superior stability across the operating range.

Q: Why is MCR006YRTJ823 listed if it is discontinued?

A: MCR006YRTJ823 is documented as a historical equivalent for reference purposes. It maintains identical specifications to the main part and may be available from existing inventory. New designs should not specify this part due to discontinued status; RC0603F823CS or CRCW020182K0FKED are recommended alternatives.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging options?

A: RC0603J823CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RC0603F823CS is available in Cut Tape (CT). CRCW020182K0FKED is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all listed parts?

A: All parts (RC0603J823CS, RC0603F823CS, CRCW020182K0FKED, and MCR006YRTJ823) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity) rating. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts.
