Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F474CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (470 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must match exactly.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0603/1608 Metric), physical dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W / 1.60mm x 0.80mm), and height (0.022" / 0.55mm maximum) must be compatible with PCB layout and assembly equipment.

Environmental & Compliance Parameters: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS3 compliance status determine suitability for specific applications and regulatory requirements.

Substitute parts are categorized as Direct, Upgrade, or Similar based on feature alignment with the main part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Functionally Equivalent):

CR0603-FX-4703ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-07470KL (YAGEO) are direct substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and moisture-resistant construction. CR0603-FX-4703ELF offers higher inventory availability (48,646 pcs). RC0603FR-07470KL is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging, providing alternative supply chain options.

CRG0603F470K (TE Connectivity Passive Product) is a direct electrical equivalent without moisture-resistant features. This part is suitable for applications where moisture resistance is not a design requirement.

Upgrade Substitutes (Enhanced Specifications):

KTR03EZPF4703 (Rohm Semiconductor) provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and high-voltage capability while maintaining all base electrical parameters. This part is appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring enhanced qualification standards.

Similar Substitutes (Application-Specific):

AC0603FR-07470KL (YAGEO), CRCW0603470KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF4703V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0603FT470K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) all feature automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. These parts are suitable for automotive circuit applications and environments requiring enhanced reliability testing.

CRCW0603470KFKTA (Vishay Dale) carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation. This part is not suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR0603-FX-4703ELF replace RC1608F474CS directly in production?

A: Yes. CR0603-FX-4703ELF matches all critical electrical parameters (470 kΩ ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C), mechanical dimensions (0603 package), and compliance status (ROHS3). Both components feature moisture-resistant thick film construction and identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between Direct and Similar substitute categories?

A: Direct substitutes (CR0603-FX-4703ELF, CRG0603F470K, RC0603FR-07470KL) match the base RC1608F474CS specification exactly. Similar substitutes (AC0603FR-07470KL, CRCW0603470KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF4703V, RMCF0603FT470K) include additional features such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Similar parts are functionally compatible but include enhanced specifications suitable for specific application requirements.

Q: Is KTR03EZPF4703 suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. KTR03EZPF4703 meets all electrical and mechanical requirements of RC1608F474CS and exceeds them with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and high-voltage capability. Enhanced specifications do not restrict use in standard industrial or consumer applications. This part is backward-compatible with RC1608F474CS requirements.

Q: Why is CRCW0603470KFKTA listed if it is RoHS non-compliant?

A: CRCW0603470KFKTA is included for reference in applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated. However, for new designs or applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, CRCW0603470KFKEA (ROHS3 compliant variant) or other ROHS3-compliant alternatives must be selected.

Q: What packaging options are available for 470 kΩ ±1% 0603 resistors?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is available from Samsung Electro-Mechanics (RC1608F474CS), Bourns Inc. (CR0603-FX-4703ELF), TE Connectivity (CRG0603F470K), Rohm Semiconductor (KTR03EZPF4703), Panasonic (ERJ-3EKF4703V), and Stackpole Electronics (RMCF0603FT470K). Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging is available from YAGEO (RC0603FR-07470KL, AC0603FR-07470KL) and Vishay Dale (CRCW0603470KFKEA). Packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are all listed substitutes available in equivalent inventory quantities?

A: No. Inventory availability varies significantly. RMCF0603FT470K (Stackpole Electronics) has the highest inventory at 1,047,745 pcs. CR0603-FX-4703ELF (Bourns) has 48,646 pcs. RC1608F474CS (Samsung) has 720 pcs. Inventory levels should be verified with suppliers for production planning and lead-time requirements.

Q: Can moisture-resistant and non-moisture-resistant variants be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Substitution between moisture-resistant (RC1608F474CS, CR0603-FX-4703ELF, RC0603FR-07470KL, AC0603FR-07470KL) and standard variants (CRG0603F470K) depends on application environmental requirements. If moisture resistance is specified in the design, all components must maintain this feature. If not specified, standard variants are functionally compatible.
