• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±250ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package designation: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L × 0.012" W / 0.60mm × 0.30mm (exact match)
• Height seated maximum: 0.010" / 0.26mm (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)
• Product Status: Active (required)

The RC0603J472CS qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all electrical, mechanical, and compliance parameters specified above.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0603J472CS provides complete functional and mechanical interchangeability with the RCS0603J472CS. Both components are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics and maintain identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and environmental ratings. Both parts carry Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: The RC0603J472CS maintains significantly higher inventory levels (224,260 pieces) compared to the RCS0603J472CS (4,249 pieces), making it the preferred choice for applications where supply chain continuity is critical.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance requirements and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets.

Environmental Performance: Both components feature identical moisture resistance characteristics (MSL 1) and temperature coefficient specifications (±250ppm/°C), supporting applications across the full -55°C to 125°C operating range.

Feature Consideration: The RCS0603J472CS includes anti-sulfur protection in addition to moisture resistance. The RC0603J472CS provides moisture resistance alone. In applications where anti-sulfur protection is a design requirement, the RCS0603J472CS must be retained as the primary component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0603J472CS be used as a direct replacement for RCS0603J472CS in all applications?

A: The RC0603J472CS matches all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RCS0603J472CS. However, the RCS0603J472CS includes anti-sulfur protection while the RC0603J472CS does not. In applications where anti-sulfur protection is specified, the RCS0603J472CS is required. For general applications requiring only moisture resistance, the RC0603J472CS provides full functional equivalence.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both the RCS0603J472CS and RC0603J472CS are packaged in 0201 (0603 Metric) format with identical dimensions of 0.024" L × 0.012" W (0.60mm × 0.30mm) and maximum seated height of 0.010" (0.26mm). They are mechanically interchangeable on PCB layouts.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited), eliminating moisture-related handling restrictions during assembly and storage.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient difference between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical temperature coefficient specifications of ±250ppm/°C across the -55°C to 125°C operating range. No performance variation exists between the parts in temperature-dependent applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on design requirements. If anti-sulfur protection is specified, use RCS0603J472CS. If only moisture resistance is required, RC0603J472CS is acceptable and offers superior availability. Both parts maintain Active product status and are suitable for new designs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. No packaging format differences exist between the RCS0603J472CS and RC0603J472CS.
