Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RT0603CRE075K36L are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 5.36 kOhms
• Package / Case: 0603 (1608 Metric)
• Composition: Thin Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum
• RoHS3 compliance

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±0.1% or tighter (upgrade from ±0.25%)
• Power rating: Equal or greater than 0.1W
• Temperature coefficient: ±25ppm/°C or better (upgrade from ±50ppm/°C)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all parameters align

Three substitute parts meet these criteria across different manufacturers and performance tiers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RT0603BRD075K36L (YAGEO Upgrade): This part offers improved tolerance (±0.1% vs ±0.25%) and lower temperature coefficient (±25ppm/°C vs ±50ppm/°C) while maintaining identical power rating and package. Both parts are from the same manufacturer within the RT series. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerance specifications without changing procurement source.

7-2176088-5 (TE Connectivity): This part provides higher power rating (0.167W vs 0.1W) with improved tolerance and temperature coefficient. Dimensions vary slightly (0.061" L vs 0.063" L). Selection is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced thermal headroom or where TE Connectivity components are preferred for supply chain consistency.

ERA-3AEB5361V (Panasonic Automotive): This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with ±0.1% tolerance and ±25ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Selection is required for automotive applications or where AEC-Q200 certification is mandated. All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RT0603BRD075K36L replace RT0603CRE075K36L in any application? A: Yes. RT0603BRD075K36L meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical parameters of the main part. The improved tolerance and temperature coefficient make it a direct upgrade within the same manufacturer series.

Q: What is the key difference between 7-2176088-5 and the YAGEO options? A: The TE Connectivity part (7-2176088-5) provides higher power rating (0.167W vs 0.1W) and slightly different physical dimensions (0.061" L vs 0.063" L). Both are acceptable substitutes for the 0603 package form factor.

Q: When should ERA-3AEB5361V be selected? A: ERA-3AEB5361V must be selected for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification. For non-automotive applications, it remains a valid substitute with equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format? A: Yes. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, matching the main part's packaging specification.

Q: Do tolerance differences affect PCB assembly compatibility? A: No. All parts use identical 0603 (1608 Metric) package dimensions and termination count (2). Tolerance differences affect circuit performance precision, not physical assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of temperature coefficient values? A: Temperature coefficient indicates resistance drift over temperature range. Lower values (±25ppm/°C) indicate better stability across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range compared to ±50ppm/°C.
