Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (267 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603 / 1608 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are grouped by substitution type: Direct substitutes share identical specifications and packaging; Upgrade substitutes offer enhanced features such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification; Similar substitutes provide functional equivalence with minor dimensional variations or alternative packaging formats.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Functionally Equivalent)

CR0603-FX-2673ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-07267KL (YAGEO) are direct substitutes with identical electrical specifications, package format, and moisture-resistant thick film construction. Both maintain Active product status and RoHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original RC1608F2673CS is specified.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives

AC0603FR-07267KL (YAGEO), CRCW0603267KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF2673V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0603FT267K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) incorporate AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to the base electrical specifications. These parts are functionally equivalent to the main part and suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards while maintaining identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications.

Discontinued Part Consideration

MCR03ERTF2673 (Rohm Semiconductor) is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part should not be selected for new designs or long-term supply requirements due to discontinued status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC0603FR-07267KL for RC1608F2673CS in my circuit?

A: Yes. RC0603FR-07267KL is a direct substitute with identical resistance (267 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and regulatory compliance (RoHS3). Both parts are Active status and suitable for direct replacement.

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

A: The automotive-qualified substitutes (AC0603FR-07267KL, CRCW0603267KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF2673V, RMCF0603FT267K) include AEC-Q200 certification in addition to the base specifications. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical. The AEC-Q200 qualification indicates compliance with automotive reliability standards and is required only for automotive applications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts maintain the 0603 (1608 Metric) package format. Minor dimensional variations exist within tolerance: most parts measure 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm), while CRCW0603267KFKEA measures 0.061" L x 0.033" W (1.55mm x 0.85mm) and RMCF0603FT267K measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm). Height-seated maximum ranges from 0.020" to 0.022" (0.50mm to 0.55mm). These variations are within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Should I use MCR03ERTF2673 as a substitute?

A: MCR03ERTF2673 is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new designs or applications requiring long-term supply assurance, select from Active status alternatives such as CR0603-FX-2673ELF, RC0603FR-07267KL, or automotive-qualified options.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: Most substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. MCR03ERTF2673 is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Verify packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, matching the regulatory compliance of the main part RC1608F2673CS.
