Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/16K3161FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 3.16 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: 1 (Unlimited)
• Number of terminations: 2

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in features (such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or moisture-resistant construction) represent enhancements that do not prevent substitution but may provide additional benefits for specific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RMC1/16K3161FTP with any of these parts in my existing design?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 3.16 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W power rating, 0603 package, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Physical dimensions and termination count are identical. Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-qualified versions?

A: ERJ-3EKF3161V and RMCF0603FT3K16 carry Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating compliance with automotive industry reliability and testing standards. Standard versions (CRG0603F3K16, RC0603FR-073K16L) do not carry this qualification. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: Why would I choose RC0603FR-073K16L over other options?

A: RC0603FR-073K16L features moisture-resistant construction, providing enhanced protection in humid or corrosive environments. This feature does not affect electrical performance but offers additional environmental durability compared to standard thick film resistors.

Q: Is MCR03ERTF3161 still usable despite discontinued status?

A: MCR03ERTF3161 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications and 973 pieces are currently in stock. However, discontinued status indicates limited future availability. For new designs or long-term production, select from Active status parts: CRG0603F3K16, ERJ-3EKF3161V, RC0603FR-073K16L, or RMCF0603FT3K16.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: CRG0603F3K16 and RMCF0603FT3K16 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. MCR03ERTF3161 and RC0603FR-073K16L are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. ERJ-3EKF3161V is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance status. The main part RMC1/16K3161FTP does not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What is the inventory status for each substitute?

A: CRG0603F3K16: 1164 pcs; ERJ-3EKF3161V: 246269 pcs; MCR03ERTF3161: 973 pcs; RC0603FR-073K16L: 3514 pcs; RMCF0603FT3K16: 178881 pcs. RMCF0603FT3K16 offers the highest inventory availability.
