Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1005F6980CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 698 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0402 (1005 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Secondary Considerations:

• Power rating may be equal or higher (upgrade acceptable)
• Additional certifications (AEC-Q200) do not disqualify substitution
• Manufacturer variation is acceptable provided all primary criteria are met

All identified substitute parts meet or exceed these criteria and are classified as Active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Specifications):

CR0402-FX-6980GLF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0402FR-07698RL (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC1005F6980CS. Both maintain identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Both are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. Selection between these and the main part is based on supply availability and procurement preference.

Moisture-Resistant Equivalent:

RC0402FR-07698RL (YAGEO) explicitly includes moisture-resistant construction matching the RC1005F6980CS feature set. This part is recommended when moisture resistance is a design requirement.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives:

ERJ-2RKF6980X (Panasonic), AC0402FR-07698RL (YAGEO), CRCW0402698RFKED (Vishay Dale), and RMCF0402FT698R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. ERJ-2RKF6980X provides upgraded power rating (0.1W vs. 0.063W), suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal margin. AC0402FR-07698RL combines automotive qualification with moisture-resistant features. CRCW0402698RFKED and RMCF0402FT698R provide automotive qualification at equivalent power rating.

All substitute parts are Active product status, ROHS3 compliant, and operate within the specified temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-2RKF6980X be used as a direct replacement for RC1005F6980CS?

A: ERJ-2RKF6980X is functionally compatible as a substitute. It maintains identical resistance (698 Ω), tolerance (±1%), package (0402), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The primary difference is elevated power rating (0.1W vs. 0.063W), which represents an upgrade and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original 0.063W specification.

Q: What is the difference between CR0402-FX-6980GLF and RC0402FR-07698RL?

A: Both parts are direct equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. CR0402-FX-6980GLF is manufactured by Bourns Inc., while RC0402FR-07698RL is manufactured by YAGEO. RC0402FR-07698RL explicitly includes moisture-resistant construction. Selection depends on supply chain availability and whether moisture resistance is required for the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The main part RC1005F6980CS does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Substitute parts ERJ-2RKF6980X, AC0402FR-07698RL, CRCW0402698RFKED, and RMCF0402FT698R are AEC-Q200 qualified and suitable for automotive applications. CR0402-FX-6980GLF and RC0402FR-07698RL do not carry automotive qualification but are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

Q: Does package size differ among substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0402 (1005 Metric) package format with identical dimensions (0.039" L x 0.020" W / 1.00mm x 0.50mm). Height specifications are equivalent across all parts (0.015" to 0.016" seated maximum), ensuring PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. All listed parts maintain MSL 1 classification, ensuring consistent handling and storage procedures across substitutions.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: All substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (698 Ω ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. Substitution within a single design is permissible provided the application does not require specific manufacturer traceability or automotive qualification beyond the main part specification.
