Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS0603F102CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Resistance Value: 1 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)
• Package Type: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

The RC0603F102CS qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in product status (active vs. discontinued) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard packaging) do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0603F102CS is a direct functional equivalent to the RCS0603F102CS. Both components are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance certifications.
