Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F5364CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (5.36 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.1W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) establish thermal performance boundaries.

Mechanical Parameters: Package designation (0603 / 1608 Metric) and number of terminations (2) ensure physical and electrical compatibility with PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm environmental and moisture handling compatibility.

The CRCW06035M36FKEA manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters while adding automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW06035M36FKEA is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RC1608F5364CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW06035M36FKEA replace the RC1608F5364CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5.36 MOhms ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C), mechanical package (0603 / 1608 Metric), and compliance ratings (RoHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on the CRCW06035M36FKEA?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard that establishes reliability and quality requirements for passive components. This certification indicates the component has undergone additional testing and validation. It does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Both components use the 0603 (1608 Metric) package. The RC1608F5364CS has dimensions of 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). The CRCW06035M36FKEA has dimensions of 0.061" L x 0.033" W (1.55mm x 0.85mm) with maximum seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm). These minor dimensional variations are within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Do both components have the same moisture handling requirements?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling practices apply to both components.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both components are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both carry ECCN classification EAR99 and HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.
