Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC1005F360CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute candidates must satisfy the following core criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 36 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Number of Terminations: 2

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: 0.063W (1/16W) is the baseline; 0.1W (1/10W) represents a higher power capability and is acceptable as a direct substitute
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) formats are interchangeable for component selection purposes
• Features: Moisture Resistant and/or Automotive AEC-Q200 certifications are additional qualifications that do not disqualify substitution

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the RC1005F360CS electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

For Standard Applications (Non-Automotive): CR0402-FX-36R0GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0402FR-0736RL (YAGEO) provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC1005F360CS with moisture resistant construction. Both maintain identical power rating, tolerance, and temperature specifications.

For Automotive Applications: ERJ-2RKF36R0X (Panasonic), AC0402FR-0736RL (YAGEO), CRCW040236R0FKED (Vishay Dale), and RMCF0402FT36R0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) carry Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The ERJ-2RKF36R0X offers higher power capability at 0.1W while maintaining all other electrical parameters. AC0402FR-0736RL combines automotive qualification with moisture resistant features.

For Supply Chain Continuity: All substitute parts are in active production with substantial inventory availability. Selection based on supplier relationship, lead time, or cost considerations does not compromise electrical or mechanical performance within the specified parameter ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-2RKF36R0X (0.1W rating) be used in place of RC1005F360CS (0.063W rating)?

A: Yes. The ERJ-2RKF36R0X has a higher power rating (0.1W vs. 0.063W), which represents increased thermal capability. In applications designed for 0.063W dissipation, the higher-rated component operates within safe margins and is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Both packaging formats contain identical components. Tape & Reel (TR) is supplied on continuous tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) is supplied in shorter tape segments. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements, not component performance.

Q: Are Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represents additional testing and quality assurance beyond standard requirements. These parts meet or exceed all electrical and mechanical specifications for non-automotive use and are fully compatible substitutes.

Q: Does moisture resistant construction affect electrical performance?

A: No. Moisture resistant thick film construction provides enhanced environmental protection without altering resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, or other electrical parameters. All moisture resistant variants maintain ±1% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed within a single assembly?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (36 Ohms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical package requirements (0402 form factor, 2 terminations). Mixed sourcing does not compromise circuit performance or reliability.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for component handling?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All identified substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture sensitivity concerns during procurement, storage, and assembly.
