RC1005F1690CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC1005F1690CS is a 169 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 0402 (1005 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated at 0.063W (1/16W) power dissipation with moisture resistant construction and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative manufacturers or enhanced specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1005F1690CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: resistance value (169 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), package format (0402 / 1005 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99). Parts are grouped into three categories based on their relationship to the main part:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications and packaging. These parts are interchangeable without design modification.

Upgrade Parts exceed the minimum power rating specification while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts provide enhanced thermal performance and are suitable for applications requiring additional power dissipation margin.

Similar Parts meet all core electrical specifications and package requirements but include additional certifications or features (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) that do not conflict with the original design intent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection: CR0402-FX-1690GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0402FR-07169RL (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC1005F1690CS. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, package format, and compliance status. Selection between these options is based on procurement availability and supply chain considerations.

Upgrade Selection: ERJ-2RKF1690X (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides enhanced power rating at 0.1W (1/10W) compared to the 0.063W specification of the main part. This upgrade is suitable for applications where additional thermal margin is required. The part includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which does not conflict with non-automotive applications. This part is appropriate when design requirements permit higher power dissipation capability.

Automotive-Qualified Selection: AC0402FR-07169RL (YAGEO) and RMCF0402FT169R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) both include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification while maintaining the original 0.063W power rating and moisture resistant construction. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability without exceeding the original power specification. AC0402FR-07169RL additionally specifies moisture resistant features matching the original part.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0402-FX-1690GLF be used as a direct replacement for RC1005F1690CS?

A: Yes. CR0402-FX-1690GLF is a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (169 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.063W), package format (0402), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and compliance certifications. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between RC0402FR-07169RL and RC1005F1690CS?

A: RC0402FR-07169RL is manufactured by YAGEO and is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the Samsung RC1005F1690CS. Both parts are rated at 169 Ohms ±1%, 0.063W, 0402 package, with moisture resistant thick film construction. The primary difference is manufacturer and packaging format (RC0402FR-07169RL is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format versus Tape & Reel for the main part).

Q: When should ERJ-2RKF1690X be selected instead of the main part?

A: ERJ-2RKF1690X should be selected when the application requires higher power dissipation capability. This part is rated at 0.1W (1/10W) compared to 0.063W for the RC1005F1690CS. All other electrical parameters remain identical. The inclusion of Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are AC0402FR-07169RL and RMCF0402FT169R suitable for automotive applications?

A: Both parts include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, indicating qualification for automotive-grade reliability standards. These parts are suitable for automotive applications. They also function in non-automotive applications where automotive-grade components are acceptable.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating across all parts?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake requirements. All listed parts, including the main part and substitutes, do not require special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management and assembly processes.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes, all listed parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the 0402 package format. PCB footprints designed for 0402 (1005 Metric) accommodate all substitute parts without modification. Solder reflow profiles and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory compliance of the main part. ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8533.21.0030) are consistent across all parts.
