Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F1073CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (107 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must match exactly. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) establish thermal performance boundaries.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (0805 / 2012 Metric) and number of terminations (2) are mandatory for PCB footprint compatibility. Physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm) ensure mechanical fit.

Material & Construction: Thick film composition is required. Moisture resistance capability is a standard feature across all qualified substitutes.

Regulatory Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating to ensure environmental and supply chain compatibility.

Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) or equivalent automated handling packaging is acceptable for production environments.

The following parts meet all substitution criteria: RC0805FR-07107KL (YAGEO), CRCW0805107KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RMCF0805FT107K (Stackpole Electronics Inc).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (RC0805FR-07107KL, CRCW0805107KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1073V, RMCF0805FT107K) are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F1073CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter matching. Selection among these alternatives should be based on:

Supply Availability: YAGEO RC0805FR-07107KL offers the highest inventory level (43,873 pcs), followed by Panasonic ERJ-6ENF1073V (109,654 pcs). Samsung RC2012F1073CS maintains 837 pcs in stock.

Automotive Qualification: CRCW0805107KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT107K (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings. The Samsung RC2012F1073CS and YAGEO RC0805FR-07107KL do not specify automotive qualification.

Physical Height Variation: Seated height ranges from 0.020" (0.50mm) for Vishay Dale to 0.028" (0.70mm) for Panasonic. Applications with tight vertical clearance constraints should reference specific height specifications.

Regulatory Compliance: All parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 ratings, ensuring regulatory equivalence across all options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07107KL (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F1073CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (107 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and package format (0805 / 2012 Metric). Physical dimensions and regulatory compliance are equivalent. The primary difference is seated height: YAGEO measures 0.024" (0.60mm) versus Samsung's 0.026" (0.66mm). This variation is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 components.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RC2012F1073CS and the automotive-qualified alternatives?

A: The Samsung RC2012F1073CS is specified for general industrial applications. CRCW0805107KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT107K (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and qualification for automotive environments. All parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection depends on application requirements and supply chain preferences.

Q: Are there packaging format differences among the substitute parts?

A: The RC2012F1073CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. CRCW0805107KFKEA is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, though Tape & Reel packaging is also listed. All other substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel format. Verify packaging format with your supplier to ensure compatibility with automated assembly equipment.

Q: Does the seated height variation affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: Seated height ranges from 0.020" (0.50mm) for CRCW0805107KFKEA to 0.028" (0.70mm) for ERJ-6ENF1073V. These variations fall within standard 0805 component tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility. Applications with specific vertical clearance requirements should reference the exact height specification of the selected part.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts (RC0805FR-07107KL, CRCW0805107KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1073V, RMCF0805FT107K) maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the regulatory profile of the RC2012F1073CS.
