RC1608F2262CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC1608F2262CS is a 22.6 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 0603 (1608 Metric) package format. This surface mount device is rated for 0.1W (1/10W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The component is classified as Active product status and carries RoHS3 compliance with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F2262CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Resistance value: 22.6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Substitute parts are further categorized by packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) and optional automotive certification (AEC-Q200). These secondary characteristics do not affect functional interchangeability but may influence procurement and application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are functionally equivalent to the RC1608F2262CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Selection among equivalent parts is determined by application-specific requirements and supply chain factors:

CRCW060322K6FKEA (Vishay Dale): Functionally equivalent with additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. Appropriate for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

ERJ-3EKF2262V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Functionally equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Suitable for automotive applications and high-reliability industrial designs.

RMCF0603FT22K6 (Stackpole Electronics Inc.): Functionally equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Appropriate for automotive and industrial applications requiring automotive-grade specifications.

All parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and environmental conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR0603-FX-2262ELF replace the RC1608F2262CS in any application?

A: Yes. The CR0603-FX-2262ELF meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the RC1608F2262CS. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package format, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), which does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the difference between the RC1608F2262CS and the AEC-Q200 qualified alternatives?

A: The RC1608F2262CS does not carry automotive AEC-Q200 certification. The CRCW060322K6FKEA, ERJ-3EKF2262V, and RMCF0603FT22K6 all include AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. For non-automotive applications, this certification is not required. For automotive designs, AEC-Q200 qualified parts are recommended.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 0603 package specification. The RC1608F2262CS and ERJ-3EKF2262V measure 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm). The CRCW060322K6FKEA measures 0.061" L x 0.033" W (1.55mm x 0.85mm). The RMCF0603FT22K6 measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm). These variations remain within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The RC1608F2262CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format (CR0603-FX-2262ELF, ERJ-3EKF2262V, RMCF0603FT22K6) or combined Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® format (CRCW060322K6FKEA). Packaging format selection depends on assembly volume and procurement requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, identical to the RC1608F2262CS. This rating indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions and compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.

Q: Which substitute part offers the highest inventory availability?

A: The ERJ-3EKF2262V (Panasonic Electronic Components) maintains the highest inventory level at 139,042 pieces. The CRCW060322K6FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides 25,265 pieces, and the RMCF0603FT22K6 (Stackpole Electronics Inc.) provides 86,843 pieces. The CR0603-FX-2262ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides 24,969 pieces.
