Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/16K3602FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 36 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Package format: 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 mandatory parameters without exception. Substitute parts may include additional features or certifications (such as Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or moisture resistance) that do not conflict with the base specifications. Packaging format variations (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) are permitted as they do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the RMC1/16K3602FTP with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (36 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and physical package dimensions (0603 / 1608 Metric). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated assembly processes. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging is supplied in shorter tape segments on reels, typically for lower-volume applications. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in supply format only.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have AEC-Q200 certification?

A: AEC-Q200 is an Automotive Electronics Council qualification standard for passive components used in automotive applications. Parts with this certification (ERJ-3EKF3602V, KTR03EZPF3602, RMCF0603FT36K0) have undergone additional reliability testing and are suitable for automotive-grade designs. Non-automotive applications can use these parts without restriction.

Q: What does "Moisture Resistant" mean on the RC0603FR-0736KL?

A: Moisture Resistant designation indicates enhanced protection against moisture absorption during storage and handling. This feature does not change electrical performance but provides additional reliability in humid environments. All parts listed have MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating they do not require special moisture control during storage.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The main part RMC1/16K3602FTP does not specify RoHS status in the provided data. If RoHS compliance is a design requirement, any of the listed substitutes satisfy this requirement.

Q: What does "High Voltage" feature on KTR03EZPF3602 indicate?

A: High Voltage designation indicates the component is rated for higher voltage applications. However, all listed parts operate within identical voltage specifications as determined by their 0.1W power rating and 0603 package format. This feature designation does not restrict use in standard applications.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same circuit board assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Mixing different manufacturers' parts in the same design is permissible from a technical standpoint. However, supply chain and procurement practices may favor standardization on a single part number per design.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates how much the resistance value changes with temperature. ±100ppm/°C means the resistance can drift up to 0.01% per degree Celsius across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. All listed parts share this identical specification, ensuring equivalent thermal performance.
