Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/16K1502FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:
Critical Matching Parameters:
- Resistance value: 15 kOhms
- Tolerance: ±1%
- Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
- Package: 0603 (1608 Metric)
- Composition: Thick Film
- Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
- Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
- Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Engineering Selection Recommendations
General-Purpose Applications (Non-Automotive): CRG0603F15K (TE Connectivity) and RC0603FR-0715KL (YAGEO) are suitable direct substitutes. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and offer standard commercial availability. CRG0603F15K provides higher inventory levels (363,372 pieces). RC0603FR-0715KL includes moisture-resistant features without additional cost impact.
Automotive Applications (AEC-Q200 Required): ERJ-3EKF1502V (Panasonic), RMCF0603FG15K0 (Stackpole Cut Tape), RMCF0603FT15K0 (Stackpole Tape & Reel), and CRCW060315K0FKEA (Vishay Dale) all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RMCF0603FT15K0 offers the highest inventory (573,986 pieces) in Tape & Reel format, matching the original packaging of RMC1/16K1502FTP.
High-Voltage Applications: KTR03EZPF1502 (Rohm Semiconductor) is specified with High Voltage features in addition to AEC-Q200 certification. This part is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced voltage stress tolerance.
Packaging Considerations: Original RMC1/16K1502FTP uses Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Direct format matches are available from KTR03EZPF1502 (Rohm) and RMCF0603FT15K0 (Stackpole). Cut Tape alternatives require reel conversion or manual handling procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can CRG0603F15K replace RMC1/16K1502FTP in any application?
A: CRG0603F15K is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RMC1/16K1502FTP. Both components share identical resistance (15 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package (0603), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). The primary difference is packaging format: CRG0603F15K is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format, while RMC1/16K1502FTP is Tape & Reel. Substitution is valid for applications without specific packaging line requirements.
Q: What is the difference between AEC-Q200 certified parts and non-certified parts?
A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. Parts carrying this certification (ERJ-3EKF1502V, KTR03EZPF1502, RMCF0603FG15K0, RMCF0603FT15K0, CRCW060315K0FKEA) have undergone additional reliability testing and quality assurance procedures required for automotive applications. Non-certified parts (RMC1/16K1502FTP, CRG0603F15K, RC0603FR-0715KL) are suitable for general electronics and consumer applications. Use of non-certified parts in automotive designs may violate design specifications or regulatory requirements.
Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?
A: All parts conform to 0603 (1608 Metric) package specification. Standard dimensions are 0.063" L × 0.031" W (1.60mm × 0.80mm) with maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm). RMCF0603FG15K0 and RMCF0603FT15K0 show slightly reduced length (0.061" / 1.55mm) and CRCW060315K0FKEA shows slightly increased width (0.033" / 0.85mm) and reduced height (0.020" / 0.50mm). These minor variations remain within 0603 package tolerance and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.
Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?
A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity—the component requires no special moisture protection during storage, handling, or assembly. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related compatibility concerns.
Q: Can KTR03EZPF1502 be used in non-high-voltage applications?
A: KTR03EZPF1502 is electrically equivalent to RMC1/16K1502FTP across all specified parameters. The High Voltage feature designation indicates enhanced capability, not a requirement. This part functions correctly in standard applications and may be selected when inventory availability or procurement lead times favor this option.
Q: What is the significance of "Tape & Reel" versus "Cut Tape" packaging?
A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) supplies components on shorter tape segments, typically for manual assembly or lower-volume production. Digi-Reel® is a proprietary reel format. Selection depends on assembly process capability. RMC1/16K1502FTP (TR) and RMCF0603FT15K0 (TR) are directly compatible with standard reel-fed assembly lines.
