Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 10 MOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C or ±200ppm/°C (acceptable variance)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Features: Moisture Resistant, High Voltage, Automotive AEC-Q200, Pulse Withstanding (additive features do not prevent substitution)
• RoHS/REACH compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected (preferred for regulatory alignment)

Substitution Categories:

Direct Substitutes maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with standard thick film composition.

Upgrade Substitutes add enhanced features (Automotive AEC-Q200, High Voltage) while maintaining core specifications, suitable for applications requiring higher reliability or specialized environments.

Similar Substitutes include variants with automotive qualification or alternative packaging formats that meet electrical requirements but may have minor dimensional or feature differences.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Specifications):

RC0805FR-0710ML (YAGEO) is the primary direct substitute. It matches all electrical parameters and maintains ROHS3 compliance with identical temperature coefficient. Dimensional height is 0.60mm versus 0.65mm on the original part, which is acceptable for standard PCB assembly. This part has the highest inventory availability (116,130 units).

For High-Reliability Applications:

KTR10EZPF1005 (Rohm Semiconductor) and AC0805FR-0710ML (YAGEO) both include Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification while maintaining core specifications. KTR10EZPF1005 adds High Voltage capability. Both are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for automotive or industrial environments requiring enhanced reliability standards.

For Specialized Environments:

RCV080510M0FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides High Voltage characteristics with reduced height (0.50mm), suitable for high-voltage circuit applications. RMCF0805FT10M0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) offers Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C, acceptable for automotive applications with slightly relaxed stability requirements.

For Pulse-Withstanding Applications:

RCS080510M0FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides Pulse Withstanding capability with 0.5W power rating (4x higher than original specification). This part is suitable for applications requiring transient surge protection while maintaining 10 MOhms resistance and ±1% tolerance.

Parts to Avoid:

CRCW080510M0FKEB is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs. CRCW080510M0FKTA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected, unsuitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC0805FR-0710ML for RC2012F106CS in my design?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-0710ML is a direct substitute with matching 10 MOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, and 0805 package. Both are ROHS3 compliant with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C to 155°C operating range. The only difference is height (0.60mm vs 0.65mm), which does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and high-voltage variants?

A: Moisture-resistant variants (RC2012F106CS, RC0805FR-0710ML) are optimized for standard industrial environments with protection against humidity. High-voltage variants (RCV080510M0FKEA, KTR10EZPF1005) are designed for circuits operating at elevated voltages and provide enhanced dielectric properties. Both maintain identical resistance, tolerance, and power specifications. Selection depends on circuit voltage requirements.

Q: Can I use RMCF0805FT10M0 if my application requires ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: RMCF0805FT10M0 has ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient, which is twice the original specification. This part is acceptable only if your circuit design tolerates this wider temperature drift. For applications requiring strict ±100ppm/°C stability, select RC0805FR-0710ML, RCV080510M0FKEA, KTR10EZPF1005, or AC0805FR-0710ML instead.

Q: Is RCS080510M0FKEA compatible with my design using RC2012F106CS?

A: RCS080510M0FKEA is electrically compatible (10 MOhms, ±1%, 0805 package) but has 0.5W power rating versus 0.125W on the original part. This higher power rating is acceptable for direct substitution and provides additional margin for transient protection. Use this part only if your PCB layout can accommodate the slightly different height (0.50mm) and if pulse-withstanding capability is beneficial or neutral to your application.

Q: Why should I avoid CRCW080510M0FKTA?

A: CRCW080510M0FKTA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, this part is unsuitable. Select ROHS3-compliant alternatives such as RC0805FR-0710ML, CRCW080510M0FKEA, or KTR10EZPF1005 instead.

Q: What does Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification mean for component selection?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification indicating the component has passed rigorous testing for automotive applications, including thermal cycling, humidity, and reliability requirements. Parts with this qualification (RMCF0805FT10M0, KTR10EZPF1005, AC0805FR-0710ML, CRCW080510M0FKEA, CRCW080510M0FKEB, CRCW080510M0FKTA, RCS080510M0FKEA) are suitable for automotive and high-reliability industrial applications. Non-qualified parts are acceptable for general consumer and industrial use.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same design?

A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet your circuit requirements for resistance (10 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W minimum), and operating temperature (-55°C to 155°C). Mixing parts with different features (moisture-resistant, high-voltage, automotive-qualified) is acceptable as long as each part location in the circuit is compatible with its specific variant. Ensure PCB layout accommodates any height variations (0.50mm to 0.65mm range).
