Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/16K5601FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.1W (1/10W)
• Package / Case: 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 four substitute parts listed below meet these mandatory parameters without exception. Variations in physical dimensions (length/width within tolerance), packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and optional certifications (AEC-Q200, Moisture Resistant) do not affect functional substitutability but may influence procurement and application suitability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RMC1/16K5601FTP based on electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

For General-Purpose Applications: CRG0603F5K6 (TE Connectivity) and RC0603FR-075K6L (YAGEO) are suitable for non-automotive applications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. RC0603FR-075K6L offers the advantage of moisture-resistant construction and the highest inventory availability (612,332 units).

For Automotive Applications: RMCF0603FT5K60 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) and ERJ-3EKF5601V (Panasonic Electronic Components) both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. ERJ-3EKF5601V provides significantly higher inventory (129,980 units) compared to RMCF0603FT5K60 (2,160 units), supporting extended production runs and supply chain stability.

For Supply Chain Continuity: When the primary part RMC1/16K5601FTP becomes unavailable, RC0603FR-075K6L offers the most robust supply position with 612,332 units in stock, followed by ERJ-3EKF5601V with 129,980 units.

Packaging Considerations: RMC1/16K5601FTP and RMCF0603FT5K60 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. CRG0603F5K6 is also supplied in Tape & Reel format. ERJ-3EKF5601V and RC0603FR-075K6L are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging format selection should align with assembly equipment and procurement workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0603FT5K60 replace RMC1/16K5601FTP in all applications?

A: Yes. RMCF0603FT5K60 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. Physical dimensions vary slightly (1.55mm vs. 1.60mm length), but both conform to 0603 package specifications and are mechanically compatible.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-speed automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging supplies components on cut tape segments, typically used for lower-volume production or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Is RC0603FR-075K6L suitable for automotive applications?

A: RC0603FR-075K6L does not carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use RMCF0603FT5K60 or ERJ-3EKF5601V.

Q: Why do some substitute parts specify "Moisture Resistant" while others do not?

A: All parts listed maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions. RC0603FR-075K6L specifies additional moisture-resistant construction as an enhanced feature. This does not affect substitutability; it represents an optional design enhancement for applications with specific environmental requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: RMCF0603FT5K60, CRG0603F5K6, ERJ-3EKF5601V, and RC0603FR-075K6L are all ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for RMC1/16K5601FTP is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts within a single production run?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Mixing parts from different manufacturers within a single assembly is permissible from a functional standpoint. However, procurement and quality control procedures should document part sourcing for traceability and consistency.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification, and why does it matter?

A: All parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. This specification defines the maximum resistance change per degree Celsius. Equivalence in this parameter ensures predictable circuit behavior across the full operating temperature range.
