Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 23.2 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical & Package Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance status
• REACH status alignment
• Automotive AEC-Q200 certification (where applicable for similar parts)

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical criteria. Packaging format variations (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and are noted for procurement purposes only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Non-Automotive):

CR0603-FX-2322ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-0723K2L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to RC1608F2322CS. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, RoHS3 compliance, and moisture-resistant thick film construction. These parts are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications where automotive qualification is not required.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives:

AC0603FR-0723K2L (YAGEO), CRCW060323K2FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2322V (Panasonic Electronic Components), RMCF0603FG23K2 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), and RMCF0603FT23K2 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part and are suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability standards. All automotive-qualified alternatives maintain RoHS3 compliance except CRCW060323K2FKTA.

Compliance Consideration:

CRCW060323K2FKTA (Vishay Dale) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. This part is functionally equivalent but should be selected only when RoHS exemptions apply or when legacy design requirements mandate this specific part number.

Packaging Format Selection:

Tape & Reel packaging (TR) is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel formats are suitable for lower-volume applications or manual assembly processes. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC1608F2322CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (23.2 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical requirements (0603 package, thick film composition, 2 terminations). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible. Verify compliance requirements for your application (RoHS, automotive AEC-Q200) before final selection.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and automotive-qualified substitutes?

A: The main part RC1608F2322CS is a standard industrial-grade resistor with moisture-resistant construction. Automotive-qualified substitutes (AC0603FR-0723K2L, CRCW060323K2FKEA, ERJ-3EKF2322V, RMCF0603FG23K2, RMCF0603FT23K2) carry AEC-Q200 certification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and qualification for automotive applications. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects procurement and assembly logistics only. Tape & Reel (TR) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel formats are suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly. All formats deliver electrically and mechanically identical components.

Q: Why is CRCW060323K2FKTA listed if it is RoHS non-compliant?

A: CRCW060323K2FKTA is included as a historical or legacy alternative for applications where RoHS exemptions apply or where specific design documentation mandates this part number. For new designs, select RoHS3-compliant alternatives.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: RMCF0603FT23K2 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) has the highest inventory at 419,394 pieces. RC0603FR-0723K2L (YAGEO) has 167,692 pieces. Both are suitable for high-volume procurement.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are rated for the identical operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake-out requirements. The component can be stored indefinitely without special humidity control or pre-reflow baking procedures.
