Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RMC1/16K2102FTP are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 21 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Package type: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), manufacturer certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification), and physical dimensions within tolerance do not disqualify substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—ERJ-3EKF2102V (Panasonic), RC0603FR-0721KL (YAGEO), and RMCF0603FT21K0 (Stackpole)—are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RMC1/16K2102FTP and are suitable for direct substitution.

ERJ-3EKF2102V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. It is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel packaging format with 92,845 units in stock inventory.

RC0603FR-0721KL (YAGEO): This part features moisture-resistant construction and ROHS3 compliance. It is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format with 5,400 units in stock inventory.

RMCF0603FT21K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. It is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format with 83,961 units in stock inventory. Physical dimensions are 0.061" L x 0.031" W (1.55mm x 0.80mm), within tolerance of the original specification.

Selection among these substitutes depends on packaging requirements, supply chain availability, and application-specific certifications. All parts maintain identical electrical performance and thermal characteristics within the specified operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-3EKF2102V replace RMC1/16K2102FTP in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification of ERJ-3EKF2102V does not restrict its use in non-automotive circuits. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is continuous reel packaging for automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel is pre-cut tape format. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and order quantity requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: ERJ-3EKF2102V, RC0603FR-0721KL, and RMCF0603FT21K0 are all ROHS3 compliant. The original RMC1/16K2102FTP compliance status was not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do the physical dimension variations between parts affect PCB layout?

A: No. RMCF0603FT21K0 dimensions (0.061" L x 0.031" W) and RMC1/16K2102FTP dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W) are within standard 0603 package tolerance. All parts share identical height (0.022" maximum seated height) and footprint compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: RMCF0603FT21K0 (Stackpole) has 83,961 units in stock, followed by ERJ-3EKF2102V (Panasonic) with 92,845 units. RC0603FR-0721KL (YAGEO) has 5,400 units in stock.

Q: Are moisture-resistant features of RC0603FR-0721KL necessary for general applications?

A: Moisture-resistant construction is an additional feature. All parts, including the original RMC1/16K2102FTP, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for standard storage and handling.
