Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F114CS is determined by strict adherence to the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 110 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 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 (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity (different suppliers acceptable)
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape acceptable)
• Enhanced features (Automotive AEC-Q200, Anti-Sulfur) permitted as upgrades
• Product status (Active or Discontinued at DiGi Electronics both acceptable for substitution)
• Inventory availability (no impact on substitution eligibility)

All substitute parts listed below satisfy these mandatory matching criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC1608F114CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Standard Applications):

The CR0603-FX-1103ELF (Bourns Inc.), RC0603FR-07110KL (YAGEO), and RC1608F114CS maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. These parts are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original Samsung Electro-Mechanics component is unavailable. All three are Active product status with established supply availability.

Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Reliability):

The KTR03EZPF1103 (Rohm Semiconductor), AC0603FR-07110KL (YAGEO), CRCW0603110KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF1103V (Panasonic), ERJ-S03F1103V (Panasonic), and RMCF0603FT110K (Stackpole Electronics) incorporate Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and extended qualification testing. The ERJ-S03F1103V additionally includes anti-sulfur properties for enhanced environmental resistance.

Discontinued Parts (Limited Availability):

The MCR03ERTF1103 (Rohm Semiconductor) and CRCW0603110KFKEB (Vishay Dale) are discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remain electrically and mechanically compatible. These parts may be sourced through alternative distribution channels where inventory exists.

Selection Criteria:

• For standard consumer and industrial applications: CR0603-FX-1103ELF, RC0603FR-07110KL
• For automotive applications: AC0603FR-07110KL, CRCW0603110KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF1103V, RMCF0603FT110K
• For harsh environmental conditions: ERJ-S03F1103V (anti-sulfur feature)
• For high-voltage applications: KTR03EZPF1103

All listed substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), and identical thermal and electrical performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the RC1608F114CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (110 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-qualified versions?

A: Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts (KTR03EZPF1103, AC0603FR-07110KL, CRCW0603110KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF1103V, ERJ-S03F1103V, RMCF0603FT110K) undergo extended qualification testing for reliability in automotive environments. Standard versions (CR0603-FX-1103ELF, RC0603FR-07110KL) are suitable for consumer and industrial applications. Automotive versions are acceptable substitutes for standard applications but offer enhanced reliability margins.

Q: Does the ERJ-S03F1103V anti-sulfur feature provide additional benefits?

A: The ERJ-S03F1103V includes anti-sulfur properties that provide enhanced resistance to sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. This feature is beneficial in applications exposed to industrial atmospheres or high-humidity environments with sulfur compounds. For standard applications, this feature is not required but does not negatively impact performance.

Q: Are discontinued parts suitable for new designs?

A: The MCR03ERTF1103 and CRCW0603110KFKEB are discontinued at DiGi Electronics but remain electrically and mechanically compatible. These parts may be sourced through alternative distributors where inventory exists. For new designs requiring long-term supply assurance, Active status parts (CR0603-FX-1103ELF, RC0603FR-07110KL, KTR03EZPF1103, AC0603FR-07110KL, CRCW0603110KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF1103V, ERJ-S03F1103V, RMCF0603FT110K) are recommended.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format except MCR03ERTF1103, which is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes. Cut Tape format is suitable for manual assembly or small-quantity applications.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q: What is MSL Level 1 (Unlimited)?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures and can be stored under standard warehouse conditions indefinitely.
