Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCS0805FT169K is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 169 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All substitute parts listed meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in features (such as automotive AEC-Q200 certification or moisture resistance enhancements) represent additional capabilities that do not compromise substitution compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. Selection among these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

RMCF0805FT169K and CRCW0805169KFKEA are suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification. CRCW0805169KFKEA offers the lowest maximum seated height at 0.50mm, which may be advantageous in space-constrained designs.

RC0805FR-07169KL provides moisture-resistant characteristics, making it suitable for applications exposed to high humidity or condensation environments.

ERJ-6ENF1693V offers the highest inventory availability and includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification with a maximum seated height of 0.70mm.

RMCS0805FT169K remains the baseline option with anti-sulfur features for general-purpose applications without specific automotive or enhanced environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0805FT169K replace RMCS0805FT169K in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. RMCF0805FT169K meets all core electrical and mechanical specifications of RMCS0805FT169K. The automotive AEC-Q200 certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in general-purpose applications.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between substitute parts?

A: Maximum seated height varies from 0.50mm to 0.70mm across the substitute parts. In designs with tight vertical clearance constraints, CRCW0805169KFKEA (0.50mm) is preferred. For standard applications, this variation is not functionally significant.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, maintaining consistency with the original RMCS0805FT169K packaging format.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for high-humidity environments?

A: RC0805FR-07169KL is specified with moisture-resistant characteristics, making it the appropriate choice for applications subject to high humidity or condensation exposure.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same tolerance and temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ±1% tolerance and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent performance in precision applications.
