Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 910 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions within specified tolerances

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Composition: Thick Film
• Moisture resistance: Required
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts maintain these parameters. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represent enhanced specifications and do not disqualify substitution for non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred for Standard Applications): RC0603FR-07910KL (YAGEO) is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part maintains all core parameters of the RC1608F914CS without additional automotive-grade certifications, suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

Enhanced Specification Alternatives (Automotive & High-Reliability Applications): AC0603FR-07910KL, CRCW0603910KFKEA, ERJ-3EKF9103V, and RMCF0603FT910K incorporate Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. These parts satisfy all base requirements of the RC1608F914CS while meeting automotive qualification standards. Selection among these options depends on supply chain availability and specific procurement requirements.

Packaging Consideration: RMCF0603FT910K is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging, whereas the RC1608F914CS and other alternatives use Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and volume requirements.

Compliance Status: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC0603FR-07910KL replace RC1608F914CS in non-automotive applications? A: Yes. AC0603FR-07910KL maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications of RC1608F914CS. The Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represents an enhanced qualification level and does not restrict use in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between RC0603FR-07910KL and AC0603FR-07910KL? A: Both are manufactured by YAGEO with identical electrical specifications (910 kΩ ±1%, 0.1W, 0603 package). AC0603FR-07910KL includes Automotive AEC-Q200 certification and moisture-resistant features, while RC0603FR-07910KL provides standard moisture-resistant thick film construction. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: Are physical dimensions identical across all substitute parts? A: Core dimensions are equivalent within the 0603 (1608 Metric) package specification. Minor variations exist: CRCW0603910KFKEA measures 0.061" L x 0.033" W with 0.020" max height; RMCF0603FT910K measures 0.061" L x 0.031" W with 0.022" max height; RC1608F914CS, RC0603FR-07910KL, and ERJ-3EKF9103V measure 0.063" L x 0.031" W with 0.022" max height. These variations remain within standard 0603 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating? A: MSL 1 indicates Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, the lowest moisture sensitivity classification. Components with MSL 1 have unlimited shelf life without special moisture control storage requirements, simplifying inventory management and reducing handling costs.

Q: Can RMCF0603FT910K be used with standard tape-and-reel assembly equipment? A: RMCF0603FT910K is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format rather than standard Tape & Reel (TR). Compatibility depends on assembly equipment specifications. Verify equipment capability before substitution if packaging format differs from original component specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts currently in active production? A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.
