Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RP1608S-2R7-F is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: 2.7 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.2W / 1/5W (exact match required)
• Package: 0603 (1608 Metric) (exact match required)
• Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C (exact match required)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The substitute part RL0816S-2R7-F meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is composition (thin film versus metal film) and product status (active versus obsolete). Both parts are manufactured by Susumu and share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and regulatory certifications.
