RC0603F8252CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC0603F8252CS is a 82.5 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This 0201 (0603 Metric) surface mount resistor is rated for 0.05W (1/20W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The component is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate component alternatives meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC0603F8252CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 82.5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.05W / 1/20W (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package / Case: 0201 (0603 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.024" L x 0.012" W (0.60mm x 0.30mm) (exact match required)
• Height - Seated (Max): 0.010" (0.26mm) (exact match required)

Compliance & Environmental Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)
• Product Status: Active (required for current production)

The CRCW020182K5FKED from Vishay Dale meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC0603F8252CS and CRCW020182K5FKED are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain requirements.

The CRCW020182K5FKED offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C versus -55°C to 125°C) and improved temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C versus ±250ppm/°C). These enhanced characteristics do not restrict its use in applications designed for the RC0603F8252CS specifications.

Both components satisfy REACH and EAR99 export compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special moisture handling precautions are required during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW020182K5FKED be used as a direct replacement for RC0603F8252CS?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance value (82.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.05W), package type (0201), physical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The CRCW020182K5FKED is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C for CRCW020182K5FKED versus ±250ppm/°C for RC0603F8252CS) and maximum operating temperature (155°C versus 125°C). These represent enhanced performance characteristics in the substitute part.

Q: Are there any package or footprint compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use the 0201 (0603 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (0.024" L x 0.012" W, 0.60mm x 0.30mm) and maximum seated height (0.010" / 0.26mm). PCB footprints and assembly processes are interchangeable.

Q: Do these components require special handling during storage or assembly?

A: No. Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no moisture-related storage restrictions or baking requirements prior to soldering.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both RC0603F8252CS and CRCW020182K5FKED are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.
