The CRCW060310K0FKEA is a standard thick film surface mount chip resistor manufactured by Vishay. It is part of the widely used CRCW e3 series, known for its excellent stability, high reliability, and suitability for automated assembly .

Key Design Features

  • Construction: A cermet film (metal glaze) is deposited on a high-grade Al₂O₃ ceramic substrate, then protected with a glass coating. The resistor is laser-trimmed to achieve the precise 10kΩ target value .

  • Terminations: Pure tin (Sn) plating on a nickel (Ni) barrier layer provides compatibility with both lead (Pb)-free and lead‑containing soldering processes (reflow, wave, or vapor phase). The design is RoHS compliant .

  • Marking: The 0603 case size is typically not marked due to space constraints; resistance values are identified by packaging labels.

  • Storage Life: Permitted storage time is 20 years; solderability is specified for 2 years after production .
