Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC1608F5904CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.9 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package format: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating
• REACH Unaffected status

The CRCW06035M90FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. This substitute maintains identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. The component is housed in the same 0603 package with equivalent termination configuration. Both parts satisfy RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC1608F5904CS and CRCW06035M90FKEA are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The primary distinction between these components is the automotive qualification rating. The CRCW06035M90FKEA carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating suitability for automotive applications with enhanced reliability requirements. The RC1608F5904CS does not specify automotive qualification.

Selection between these parts should be based on application requirements. For general industrial and consumer applications, either component is electrically and mechanically equivalent. For automotive applications or designs requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, the CRCW06035M90FKEA is the appropriate selection. Both components maintain identical electrical performance characteristics and package compatibility, ensuring direct substitution capability within the specified parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW06035M90FKEA directly replace the RC1608F5904CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5.9 MOhms ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), composition (thick film), and package format (0603). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB footprint compatibility. Direct substitution is supported for non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the CRCW06035M90FKEA?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard indicating the component meets enhanced reliability and performance requirements for automotive applications. This certification is relevant only if your application requires automotive-grade components. For non-automotive use, this distinction does not affect functional equivalence.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The RC1608F5904CS measures 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) with 0.022" maximum seated height. The CRCW06035M90FKEA measures 0.061" L x 0.033" W (1.55mm x 0.85mm) with 0.020" maximum seated height. These variations are within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or reflow processing.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RC1608F5904CS and CRCW06035M90FKEA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format in the 0603 (1608 Metric) package configuration with 2 terminations.
