Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/16K2103FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 210 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 ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 or better

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Substitutes are grouped by manufacturer and may include additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification or moisture-resistant features) that do not conflict with the base specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RMC1/16K2103FTP and are suitable for direct replacement in circuit applications requiring a 210 kOhms ±1% 0.1W 0603 thick film resistor.

Packaging Consideration: The RC1608F2103CS (Samsung) is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format, while the primary part and other substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This difference affects handling and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Compliance Status: ERJ-3EKF2103V (Panasonic) and RMCF0603FT210K (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC0603FR-07210KL (YAGEO) and RC1608F2103CS (Samsung) feature moisture-resistant construction. These additional certifications and features do not conflict with base specifications and may provide enhanced reliability in specific application environments.

Product Status: All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-3EKF2103V replace RMC1/16K2103FTP in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERJ-3EKF2103V meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of RMC1/16K2103FTP. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in non-automotive circuits. The part is fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging is supplied in strips cut to specific lengths. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in handling and assembly process compatibility. RC1608F2103CS uses Cut Tape format.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: ERJ-3EKF2103V, RC0603FR-07210KL, RC1608F2103CS, and RMCF0603FT210K are all specified as ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS compliance status for the primary part RMC1/16K2103FTP is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do moisture-resistant features affect electrical performance?

A: No. Moisture-resistant construction in RC0603FR-07210KL and RC1608F2103CS is a material enhancement that improves reliability in humid environments without altering the electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, or power rating).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same circuit board?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical resistance (210 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package (0603), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). They are direct functional equivalents for circuit board replacement.

Q: What is MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they do not require special dry storage or handling procedures.
