Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 11.5 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to +155°C (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (preferred for new designs)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected (noted for regulatory tracking)

All substitute parts listed below meet the mandatory matching parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (height-seated maximum) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) do not affect electrical or mechanical substitution compatibility within the 0805 package specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and RoHS3 Compliant Applications:

All substitute parts except CRCW080511K5FKTA meet ROHS3 compliance requirements. Selection among compliant alternatives should be based on:

1. General-Purpose Applications: RC0805FR-0711K5L (YAGEO) offers the highest inventory availability (141,314 pcs) with moisture-resistant thick film construction matching the original RC2012F1152CS specification.

2. Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF1152V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FT11K5 (Stackpole), or CRCW080511K5FKEA (Vishay Dale) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. ERJ-6ENF1152V provides the largest inventory (88,689 pcs) among automotive-qualified options.

3. High-Voltage Circuit Requirements: KTR10EZPF1152 (Rohm Semiconductor) is specified with high-voltage capability in addition to AEC-Q200 qualification.

4. Moisture-Resistant Non-Automotive Applications: CR0805-FX-1152ELF (Bourns) or RC0805FR-0711K5L (YAGEO) provide moisture-resistant thick film construction without automotive qualification overhead.

For Legacy or Non-Compliant Applications:

CRCW080511K5FKTA (Vishay Dale) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. This part is listed for reference only and should not be selected for new designs or applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I substitute RC2012F1152CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (except CRCW080511K5FKTA for compliance-sensitive applications) are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance value (11.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package format (0805), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to +155°C). Direct substitution on the PCB is possible without circuit modification.

Q2: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts?

A: Moisture-resistant thick film resistors (RC2012F1152CS, CR0805-FX-1152ELF, RC0805FR-0711K5L) are designed for general-purpose applications with enhanced protection against humidity. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts (ERJ-6ENF1152V, KTR10EZPF1152, RMCF0805FT11K5, CRCW080511K5FKEA, CRCW080511K5FKTA) undergo additional qualification testing for automotive reliability and environmental stress conditions. AEC-Q200 parts are suitable for both automotive and general-purpose applications.

Q3: Does the physical height difference (0.024" to 0.028" seated maximum) affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. All substitute parts are specified within the 0805 (2012 Metric) package standard. Height variations within the range 0.020" to 0.028" are within standard 0805 package tolerance and do not affect PCB footprint, reflow soldering, or component placement. Automated assembly equipment is calibrated to accommodate standard 0805 package height tolerances.

Q4: Why is CRCW080511K5FKTA listed if it is RoHS non-compliant?

A: CRCW080511K5FKTA is included for reference and historical traceability in legacy designs or existing bill-of-materials documentation. For new designs, CRCW080511K5FKEA (ROHS3 compliant variant from the same manufacturer) is the recommended alternative. The non-compliant variant should not be selected for applications requiring environmental compliance certification.

Q5: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC0805FR-0711K5L (YAGEO) provides the highest inventory level at 141,314 pcs. This part is ROHS3 compliant, moisture-resistant, and suitable for general-purpose applications. ERJ-6ENF1152V (Panasonic) is the second-highest at 88,689 pcs and is recommended for automotive applications.

Q6: Are all substitute parts suitable for high-temperature applications up to +155°C?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are specified with operating temperature range -55°C to +155°C, matching the original RC2012F1152CS. Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C is consistent across all parts, ensuring predictable resistance drift over the full operating temperature range.

Q7: What packaging formats are available among the substitute parts?

A: Most substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly. ERJ-6ENF1152V (Panasonic) is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory logistics.
