Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the WR06X6980FTL are qualified based on strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: 698 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.1W / 1/10W (exact match required)
• Package Type: 0603 (1608 Metric) surface mount (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)
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliant, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The CR166980F from Meritek meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the WR06X6980FTL and CR166980F are Active product status components with identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications. The CR166980F from Meritek is a direct functional equivalent suitable for applications requiring 698 Ohm ±1% thick film resistors in 0603 surface mount packages. Both components satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements and REACH unaffected status, making them interchangeable for regulated applications. The CR166980F exhibits a marginally lower seated height (0.022" versus 0.024"), which remains within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 0603 package specifications. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability, lead time, or supplier preference, as electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR166980F replace the WR06X6980FTL in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CR166980F is a direct substitute with identical resistance value (698 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.1W), package type (0603), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both components are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Both parts share identical length and width dimensions (0.063" L x 0.031" W / 1.60mm x 0.80mm). The CR166980F has a maximum seated height of 0.022" (0.55mm) compared to 0.024" (0.60mm) for the WR06X6980FTL. This 0.002" difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0603 packages and does not affect functionality or placement.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the WR06X6980FTL and CR166980F are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. They are suitable for applications requiring regulated component certifications.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification for these resistors?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Q: Are these parts available in packaging formats other than Tape & Reel?

A: The specifications provided indicate both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. Alternative packaging formats are not included in the provided data.
