Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RMCF0603FG2K21 are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Electrical Match: Resistance value of 2.21 kOhms with ±1% tolerance
• Power Rating: 0.1W (1/10W) minimum
• Package Compatibility: 0603 (1608 Metric) form factor
• Composition: Thick film construction
• Temperature Performance: ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient with -55°C to 155°C operating range
• Compliance: AEC-Q200 automotive rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating

All identified substitutes maintain these core parameters, ensuring functional and mechanical interchangeability. Packaging format (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape) and minor dimensional variations do not affect circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Full Compliance Match)

RMCF0603FT2K21, CRCW06032K21FKEA, ERJ-3EKF2211V, and AC0603FR-072K21L are direct equivalents meeting all specifications including AEC-Q200 automotive rating and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and environmental compliance.

Secondary Substitutes (Compliance Considerations)

CRCW06032K21FKTA is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries RoHS non-compliant status and REACH Affected designation. This part is suitable only for applications where RoHS3 compliance is not required.

CR0603-FX-2211ELF and RC0603FR-072K21L lack AEC-Q200 automotive certification. These parts are suitable for non-automotive applications where automotive-grade qualification is not mandated.

Inventory Availability

RMCF0603FT2K21 (1,089,176 pcs), ERJ-3EKF2211V (277,921 pcs), and CR0603-FX-2211ELF (129,576 pcs) offer the highest stock levels for immediate procurement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0603FT2K21 replace RMCF0603FG2K21 in automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc with identical electrical specifications (2.21 kOhms ±1%, 0.1W), package format (0603), temperature performance (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and AEC-Q200 automotive certification. The parts are functionally interchangeable.

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

A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging provides smaller quantities on cut tape segments. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility.

Q: Is CR0603-FX-2211ELF suitable for automotive applications?

A: CR0603-FX-2211ELF lacks AEC-Q200 automotive certification. While electrically and mechanically equivalent to RMCF0603FG2K21, it is not qualified for automotive applications. Use only in non-automotive circuits.

Q: Why does CRCW06032K21FKTA show RoHS non-compliant status?

A: CRCW06032K21FKTA carries RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected designations. This part is suitable only for applications where RoHS3 compliance exemptions apply. For RoHS3-compliant designs, use CRCW06032K21FKEA instead.

Q: Are all substitutes rated for -55°C to 155°C operation?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) as the original RMCF0603FG2K21.

Q: Can I use multiple substitute parts interchangeably in the same design?

A: Yes, provided compliance requirements are met. For automotive applications, restrict selection to parts with AEC-Q200 certification: RMCF0603FT2K21, CRCW06032K21FKEA, ERJ-3EKF2211V, and AC0603FR-072K21L. For non-automotive applications, all listed parts are electrically compatible.
