• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Packaging Variations Allowed:

• Tape & Reel (TR)
• Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel®

Certification Enhancements Allowed:

• Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification (when specified for application requirements)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and dimensional compatibility. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 0603 package specification are acceptable manufacturing tolerances and do not affect substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Identical Specifications, No Certifications):

CR0603-FX-2671ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-072K67L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC1608F2671CS. Both maintain identical electrical parameters, temperature characteristics, and moisture resistance properties. CR0603-FX-2671ELF is available in Tape & Reel packaging with 32,318 pieces in stock. RC0603FR-072K67L is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format with significantly higher inventory (319,604 pieces), making it suitable for high-volume applications.

Upgrade Options (Enhanced Certifications):

AC0603FR-072K67L (YAGEO), CRCW06032K67FKEA (Vishay Dale), CRCW06032K67FKTA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2671V (Panasonic), and RMCF0603FT2K67 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) all include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification in addition to standard specifications. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and qualification. Selection among these options depends on packaging format preference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and inventory availability.

Discontinued Part:

MCR03ERTF2671 (Rohm Semiconductor) is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While 745 pieces remain in stock, this part should not be selected for new designs or long-term production requirements.

Packaging Considerations:

• Tape & Reel (TR) format is standard for automated assembly lines and high-volume production
• Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format is suitable for lower-volume applications and manual assembly
• All parts maintain identical 0603 (1608 Metric) footprint compatibility

Compliance Status:

All active substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original RC1608F2671CS specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC1608F2671CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical resistance value (2.67 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package (0603), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). PCB footprint and electrical performance remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and upgrade options?

A: Direct substitutes (CR0603-FX-2671ELF, RC0603FR-072K67L) provide identical specifications without additional certifications. Upgrade options (AC0603FR-072K67L, CRCW06032K67FKEA, CRCW06032K67FKTA, ERJ-3EKF2671V, RMCF0603FT2K67) include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which is required for automotive applications but not necessary for general industrial use.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly process compatibility. Electrical specifications and performance are identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Why is MCR03ERTF2671 listed as discontinued?

A: MCR03ERTF2671 is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating that the manufacturer or primary distributor no longer actively supports this part. While limited inventory (745 pieces) remains available, this part should not be selected for new designs or applications requiring long-term component availability.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: RC0603FR-072K67L (YAGEO) has the highest inventory with 319,604 pieces in stock, making it the optimal choice for high-volume production requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All active substitute parts listed maintain ROHS3 compliance, ensuring regulatory compatibility with the original RC1608F2671CS and compliance with current environmental regulations.

Q: Can I use an AEC-Q200 certified part in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification represents an enhanced qualification standard that exceeds standard industrial requirements. Parts with AEC-Q200 certification can be used in any application where standard industrial-grade components are acceptable, providing additional reliability margin.

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

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. This is the least restrictive moisture sensitivity classification and simplifies inventory management and logistics.
