Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC1608F625CS are classified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: resistance value (6.2 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package format (0603), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), MSL rating (1), and RoHS3 compliance.

Similar Substitutes satisfy all electrical and mechanical requirements with allowable variations in physical dimensions or additional certifications that do not compromise functional compatibility. These parts meet or exceed the original specifications while maintaining interchangeability in standard PCB assembly processes.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

• Resistance: 6.2 MOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.1W minimum (exact match required)
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent (required)
