Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F2264CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.26 MOhms
• 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 to 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance status
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Direct Equivalent: RC0603FR-072M26L (YAGEO) — Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with moisture-resistant thick film composition.

Similar Equivalent with Enhanced Specification: CRCW06032M26FKEA (Vishay Dale) — Meets all mandatory parameters with additional automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerance (length 1.55mm vs. 1.60mm, width 0.85mm vs. 0.80mm, height 0.50mm vs. 0.55mm) do not affect functional substitution in standard PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0603FR-072M26L (YAGEO) is the direct functional equivalent for general-purpose applications. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package dimensions with moisture-resistant thick film construction. Selection is appropriate for standard industrial and consumer applications where Samsung Electro-Mechanics sourcing is unavailable.

CRCW06032M26FKEA (Vishay Dale) is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. The AEC-Q200 qualification provides enhanced quality assurance for automotive and mission-critical environments. Minor dimensional variations (maximum 0.05mm differences in length and width, 0.05mm in height) are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not require layout modifications for 0603 footprints. This part is appropriate when enhanced reliability certification is a design requirement.

All three parts maintain Active product status, full RoHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring long-term availability and environmental regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603FR-072M26L replace RC1608F2264CS in existing designs?
