RC1608F5760CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC1608F5760CS is a 576 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 0603 (1608 Metric) package format with 0.1W power rating. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, suitable for general industrial and consumer applications requiring standard tolerance resistive elements.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design flexibility permits selection from multiple qualified sources meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F5760CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 576 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +155°C (exact match required)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Substitution Categories:

Direct Substitutes maintain all parameters identically to the main part with standard industrial-grade specifications and moisture-resistant construction.

Upgrade Substitutes provide identical electrical and mechanical specifications but may have discontinued status at specific distributors while remaining available through alternative channels.

Similar Substitutes meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters but include additional automotive-grade certifications (AEC-Q200) beyond the base specification, providing enhanced qualification for automotive applications without compromising standard industrial use.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Preferred for Standard Applications):

CR0603-FX-5760ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-07576RL (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents with identical electrical specifications, moisture-resistant construction, and Active product status. Both are available in Tape & Reel packaging and maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection between these options is based on supply availability and procurement lead times.

Upgrade Substitute (Limited Availability):

MCR03ERTF5760 (Rohm Semiconductor) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries Discontinued status at DiGi Electronics. This part remains available through alternative distribution channels and is suitable for applications where existing inventory or alternative sourcing is established. Note that this part does not include moisture-resistant features, requiring verification of application requirements.

Similar Substitutes (Automotive-Grade Applications):

AC0603FR-07576RL (YAGEO), CRCW0603576RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-3EKF5760V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0603FT576R (Stackpole Electronics Inc.) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the base part. These components are suitable for both standard industrial applications and automotive-qualified designs. Selection among these options is determined by supply chain preference, packaging availability, and cost optimization.

Compliance Verification:

All substitute parts listed maintain RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Moisture sensitivity level remains MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all direct and upgrade substitutes. Automotive-grade substitutes do not compromise standard industrial performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC0603FR-07576RL replace RC1608F5760CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AC0603FR-07576RL meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for the RC1608F5760CS. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in standard industrial applications. All parameters including resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between CR0603-FX-5760ELF and RC0603FR-07576RL?

A: Both parts are direct substitutes with identical electrical specifications, tolerance, power rating, package format, and temperature characteristics. The primary difference is manufacturer (Bourns Inc. versus YAGEO). Selection between these parts is based on supply availability, lead time, and procurement preference. No technical performance difference exists between the two options.

Q: Why does MCR03ERTF5760 show Discontinued status?

A: MCR03ERTF5760 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics distribution but remains available through alternative channels. The part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. Discontinued status indicates distributor-level availability rather than manufacturer discontinuation. Verify alternative sourcing before selecting this part for new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: MCR03ERTF5760 is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. All other substitute parts are available in standard Tape & Reel format. Packaging format must be verified during procurement to ensure compatibility with automated assembly equipment.

Q: What is the significance of moisture-resistant construction?

A: Moisture-resistant construction prevents performance degradation in humid environments. RC1608F5760CS, CR0603-FX-5760ELF, RC0603FR-07576RL, and AC0603FR-07576RL include moisture-resistant features. MCR03ERTF5760, CRCW0603576RFKEA, ERJ-3EKF5760V, and RMCF0603FT576R do not specify moisture-resistant construction. Application environment determines whether this feature is required.

Q: Can I use CRCW0603576RFKEA as a direct replacement without design changes?

A: Yes. CRCW0603576RFKEA meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 576 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.1W power rating, 0603 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to +155°C operating range. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance (0.061" L x 0.033" W versus 0.063" L x 0.031" W). No design changes are required for PCB layout or circuit operation.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: CR0603-FX-5760ELF (Bourns) has 26,046 units in stock. RC0603FR-07576RL (YAGEO) has 192,680 units in stock. AC0603FR-07576RL (YAGEO) has 948 units in stock. CRCW0603576RFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 32,083 units in stock. ERJ-3EKF5760V (Panasonic) has 74,423 units in stock. RMCF0603FT576R (Stackpole) has 40,447 units in stock.
