Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC1005F164CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 160 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on power rating:

• Direct Equivalents (1/16W, 0.063W): CR0402-FX-1603GLF, RC0402FR-07160KL, AC0402FR-07160KL, CRCW0402160KFKED, RMCF0402FT160K
• Upgrade Option (1/10W, 0.1W): ERJ-2RKF1603X (higher power rating, maintains all other parameters)

Direct Equivalent: CRG0402F160K (1/16W rating, identical electrical specifications)

All substitute parts maintain identical resistance, tolerance, package dimensions, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Differences exist only in manufacturer, packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), and optional automotive qualification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications): CR0402-FX-1603GLF, CRG0402F160K, RC0402FR-07160KL, AC0402FR-07160KL, CRCW0402160KFKED, and RMCF0402FT160K are electrically and mechanically equivalent to RC1005F164CS. Selection among these options is determined by:

• Packaging format availability (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel)
• Inventory levels and lead times
• Supplier preference and cost structure
• Moisture-resistant feature requirement (RC1005F164CS and RC0402FR-07160KL include moisture resistance; AC0402FR-07160KL includes both moisture resistance and AEC-Q200)

For Enhanced Reliability (Automotive Applications): AC0402FR-07160KL (YAGEO), CRCW0402160KFKED (Vishay Dale), and RMCF0402FT160K (Stackpole Electronics) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification while maintaining 1/16W power rating and ±1% tolerance. These are suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications.

For Increased Power Margin: ERJ-2RKF1603X (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides 1/10W (0.1W) power rating versus the standard 1/16W (0.063W), offering 58% additional power dissipation capacity. This component includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and maintains all other electrical parameters. Selection of this upgrade is appropriate when thermal margin or power dissipation requirements exceed the standard 1/16W specification.

Compliance Status: All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and REACH Unaffected status, matching the RC1005F164CS compliance profile.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0402-FX-1603GLF replace RC1005F164CS in all applications? A: CR0402-FX-1603GLF is electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (160 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (1/16W), package (0402), and temperature specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape). Substitution is valid for all applications where the original part is specified, provided assembly equipment accommodates the packaging format.

Q: What is the difference between the 1/16W and 1/10W power ratings? A: The RC1005F164CS and most direct equivalents are rated at 0.063W (1/16W). The ERJ-2RKF1603X is rated at 0.1W (1/10W), providing 58% higher power dissipation capacity. Selection of the higher-rated component is appropriate when circuit analysis indicates power dissipation approaching or exceeding 0.063W, or when additional thermal margin is required for reliability.

Q: Are AEC-Q200 qualified parts (AC0402FR-07160KL, CRCW0402160KFKED, RMCF0402FT160K) required for non-automotive applications? A: AEC-Q200 qualification is not required for non-automotive applications. However, these parts maintain identical electrical specifications and can be used as direct replacements. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and is recommended for automotive, industrial, and high-reliability applications.

Q: Does moisture resistance affect substitution compatibility? A: Moisture resistance is a feature, not a substitution criterion. RC1005F164CS and RC0402FR-07160KL include moisture-resistant construction. AC0402FR-07160KL also includes moisture resistance with AEC-Q200 qualification. Parts without explicit moisture-resistant designation (CR0402-FX-1603GLF, CRG0402F160K, CRCW0402160KFKED, RMCF0402FT160K) are electrically equivalent and suitable for standard applications. Selection based on moisture resistance depends on application environment requirements, not substitution compatibility.

Q: Can I use Tape & Reel packaged parts in place of Cut Tape packaged parts? A: Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging formats contain identical components but differ in delivery format. Assembly equipment compatibility determines substitution feasibility. Equipment designed for Tape & Reel format cannot process Cut Tape, and vice versa. Verify assembly equipment specifications before substituting based on packaging format.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating? A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions (23°C, 50% relative humidity) without requiring baking before soldering. All listed parts maintain this rating, ensuring no additional moisture management procedures are required during assembly.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. RC1005F164CS and all listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.
