Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC1608F623CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (62 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must match exactly. All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0603 / 1608 Metric), number of terminations (2), and physical dimensions must be compatible with the original PCB footprint. Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on dimensional tolerance:

• Direct Mechanical Equivalents: Parts with dimensions 0.063" L x 0.031" W (1.60mm x 0.80mm) and height 0.022" (0.55mm) maximum
• Compatible Variants: Parts with minor dimensional variations (0.061" L x 0.033" W or 0.061" L x 0.031" W) that remain within 0603 package specifications

Compliance Parameters: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the original component.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Preferred for Standard Applications):

CR0603-FX-6202ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0603FR-0762KL (YAGEO) are direct mechanical and electrical equivalents with identical dimensions (1.60mm x 0.80mm, 0.55mm height) and moisture resistant composition matching the original RC1608F623CS specification.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives:

AC0603FR-0762KL, ERJ-3EKF6202V, ERJ-S03F6202V, CRCW060362K0FKEA, and RMCF0603FT62K0 are all AEC-Q200 automotive qualified variants. These parts maintain electrical equivalence and RoHS3 compliance. ERJ-S03F6202V includes additional anti-sulfur protection. CRCW060362K0FKEA and RMCF0603FT62K0 exhibit minor dimensional variations within 0603 package tolerance but remain PCB compatible.

Selection Criteria:

• For general industrial and consumer applications: CR0603-FX-6202ELF or RC0603FR-0762KL
• For automotive applications: AC0603FR-0762KL, ERJ-3EKF6202V, ERJ-S03F6202V, CRCW060362K0FKEA, or RMCF0603FT62K0
• For corrosive environments: ERJ-S03F6202V (anti-sulfur feature)
• For high-volume availability: RMCF0603FT62K0 (493,512 pcs in stock)

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC1608F623CS with any of the listed parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent within 0603 package specifications. CR0603-FX-6202ELF, RC0603FR-0762KL, AC0603FR-0762KL, ERJ-3EKF6202V, and ERJ-S03F6202V share identical dimensions (1.60mm x 0.80mm). CRCW060362K0FKEA and RMCF0603FT62K0 have minor dimensional variations but remain within 0603 footprint tolerance and are PCB compatible.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-qualified versions?

A: Automotive-qualified parts (AC0603FR-0762KL, ERJ-3EKF6202V, ERJ-S03F6202V, CRCW060362K0FKEA, RMCF0603FT62K0) meet AEC-Q200 qualification standards for automotive applications. The original RC1608F623CS does not carry AEC-Q200 rating. Automotive versions are suitable for both automotive and general industrial use.

Q: Does ERJ-S03F6202V offer advantages over other substitutes?
