Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1005F6042CS is determined by the following critical parameters: resistance value (60.4 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package format (0402 / 1005 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All substitute parts must match these core electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Substitute parts are categorized into three groups:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical specifications including power rating (0.063W / 1/16W), moisture resistance properties, and standard packaging formats. These parts are interchangeable without circuit modification.

Upgrade Options provide enhanced power ratings (0.1W / 1/10W) while maintaining all other electrical parameters. These parts support higher power dissipation in the same package footprint and are suitable for applications requiring additional thermal margin.

Similar Parts with Enhanced Features include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and moisture-resistant construction. These parts meet or exceed the baseline specifications and are suitable for automotive and harsh environment applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection

CR0402-FX-6042GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC1005F6042CS. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, package format, and power rating. RC0402FR-0760K4L includes moisture-resistant construction matching the original part. Both manufacturers maintain active production status and ROHS3 compliance.

Upgrade Option

ERJ-2RKF6042X (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides a higher power rating of 0.1W (1/10W) while maintaining all other electrical parameters. This part includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance within the same package footprint.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives

AC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO), CRCW040260K4FKED (Vishay Dale), and RMCF0402FT60K4 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are qualified to Automotive AEC-Q200 standards with ROHS3 compliance. AC0402FR-0760K4L additionally includes moisture-resistant construction. These parts are suitable for automotive and mission-critical applications.

Non-Compliant Part

CRCW040260K4FKTD (Vishay Dale) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. This part is not suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards.

Resistance Value Discrepancy

CR0402-FX-60R4GLF (Bourns Inc.) specifies 60.4 Ohms rather than 60.4 kOhms. This part is not functionally equivalent and is not suitable as a substitute for the RC1005F6042CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0402-FX-6042GLF be used as a direct replacement for RC1005F6042CS?

A: Yes. CR0402-FX-6042GLF matches all critical electrical parameters: 60.4 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.063W power rating, 0402 package format, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel for both), making this a direct functional equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between RC0402FR-0760K4L and the original RC1005F6042CS?

A: RC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO) is electrically and mechanically identical to RC1005F6042CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics). Both specify 60.4 kOhms, ±1% tolerance, 0.063W power rating, moisture-resistant thick film construction, and identical operating parameters. The primary difference is packaging format: RC0402FR-0760K4L is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format, while RC1005F6042CS is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: When should ERJ-2RKF6042X be selected instead of the original part?

A: ERJ-2RKF6042X should be selected when applications require higher power dissipation capability. This part provides 0.1W (1/10W) power rating compared to the original 0.063W (1/16W) rating, while maintaining identical resistance, tolerance, and package format. The higher power rating provides additional thermal margin in power-sensitive circuits. This part includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Q: Is CR0402-FX-60R4GLF a suitable substitute?

A: No. CR0402-FX-60R4GLF specifies 60.4 Ohms resistance, not 60.4 kOhms. This represents a 1000-fold difference in resistance value and is not functionally equivalent to RC1005F6042CS. This part is not suitable as a substitute.

Q: Which substitute parts are suitable for automotive applications?

A: AC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO), CRCW040260K4FKED (Vishay Dale), ERJ-2RKF6042X (Panasonic), and RMCF0402FT60K4 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) all include Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. AC0402FR-0760K4L additionally includes moisture-resistant construction. All four parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for automotive and mission-critical applications.

Q: What is the significance of moisture-resistant construction?

A: Moisture-resistant thick film construction provides enhanced reliability in humid environments and applications subject to moisture exposure. RC1005F6042CS and RC0402FR-0760K4L both include this feature. AC0402FR-0760K4L also includes moisture-resistant construction. Parts without this specification (CR0402-FX-6042GLF, Bourns) are suitable for standard operating environments but may not be optimal for high-humidity or sealed enclosure applications.

Q: Can CRCW040260K4FKTD be used in new designs?

A: CRCW040260K4FKTD is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. This part is not suitable for new designs requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental standards. CRCW040260K4FKED (the Cut Tape variant) is ROHS3 compliant and is the appropriate alternative from Vishay Dale.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same package format?

A: No. RC1005F6042CS and most substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel format. RC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO) and CRCW040260K4FKED (Vishay Dale) are supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. All parts use identical 0402 (1005 Metric) package dimensions and are mechanically compatible. Packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: CR0402-FX-6042GLF (Bourns) has 66,871 pieces in stock. RC0402FR-0760K4L (YAGEO) has 260,133 pieces in stock. ERJ-2RKF6042X (Panasonic) has 257,091 pieces in stock.
