Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT0603CRE072K67L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 2.67 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Terminations: 2

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±0.25% or tighter (±0.1% acceptable)
• Power Rating: 0.1W (1/10W) or higher (0.167W acceptable)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C or tighter (±25ppm/°C acceptable)
• RoHS and MSL compliance maintained

Substitute Categories:

1. Tolerance Upgrade (±0.1%): RT0603BRD072K67L, ERA-3AEB2671V, RG1608P-2671-B-T5 — improved tolerance with tighter temperature coefficient
2. Higher Power Rating (0.167W): 4-2176088-7 — increased power dissipation capability
3. Automotive Qualified: ERA-3AEB2671V, RG1608P-2671-B-T5 — AEC-Q200 rated for automotive applications

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0603BRD072K67L (YAGEO): Direct upgrade from the main part with improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and tighter temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C). Maintains identical power rating and package. Suitable for applications requiring enhanced precision without automotive qualification requirements.

4-2176088-7 (TE Connectivity): Provides higher power dissipation (0.167W vs 0.1W) with improved tolerance and temperature coefficient. Dimensions vary slightly (0.061" L vs 0.063" L). Appropriate for designs with increased thermal margin or higher power budget.

ERA-3AEB2671V (Panasonic): Offers AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Maintains original power rating and package dimensions. Required for automotive applications or systems requiring automotive-grade component reliability.

RG1608P-2671-B-T5 (Susumu): Combines AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with anti-sulfur coating and ±0.1% tolerance. Slightly reduced seated height (0.020" vs 0.022"). Optimal for automotive environments with corrosive exposure or high-reliability automotive systems.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD072K67L replace RT0603CRE072K67L directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package, and operating temperature range. RT0603BRD072K67L provides improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C), making it a direct upgrade with no design modifications required.

Q: What is the difference between 0.1W and 0.167W power ratings? A: Power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation. The 0.167W (1/6W) rating in 4-2176088-7 provides 67% higher thermal capacity than the 0.1W (1/10W) rating. This allows operation at higher current levels or provides thermal margin in power-limited applications. Both ratings are compatible in circuits designed for 0.1W operation.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (ERA-3AEB2671V, RG1608P-2671-B-T5) necessary for non-automotive applications? A: No. Automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) is not required for non-automotive circuits. However, these parts offer enhanced reliability testing and temperature cycling validation. Selection depends on application requirements and reliability specifications, not package compatibility.

Q: What does anti-sulfur coating mean in RG1608P-2671-B-T5? A: Anti-sulfur coating protects the component from hydrogen sulfide and other corrosive gases in industrial or harsh environments. This feature is not relevant for standard indoor or controlled-environment applications but is beneficial for automotive underhood or industrial installations.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with tighter tolerance (±0.1%) in place of ±0.25%? A: Yes. Tighter tolerance is always compatible. A ±0.1% part meets all specifications where a ±0.25% part is required. The actual resistance value remains within the original tolerance band, ensuring circuit performance.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts? A: Dimensions are nearly identical across all parts (0603 package). Minor variations exist: 4-2176088-7 has 0.061" length vs 0.063" for others; RG1608P-2671-B-T5 has 0.020" seated height vs 0.022" for others. These differences are negligible for standard PCB layouts and do not affect assembly compatibility.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity? A: MSL 1 indicates the component requires no special moisture protection during storage or handling. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related assembly constraints and allowing standard warehouse storage conditions.
