Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 158 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical height (seated maximum) and specific manufacturer series designations do not affect functional substitutability within the 0805 package class, as these dimensions remain within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F1580CS based on electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on:

Availability and Lead Time: CRCW0805158RFKEA (Vishay Dale) maintains the highest inventory at 20,936 pieces. RC0805FR-07158RL (YAGEO) provides 2,401 pieces, and ERJ-6ENF1580V (Panasonic) offers 14,452 pieces.

Automotive Applications: CRCW0805158RFKEA and ERJ-6ENF1580V both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, making them suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs. RC0805FR-07158RL does not specify automotive qualification.

Compliance Certifications: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS codes (8533.21.0030).

Physical Dimensions: All parts fit within standard 0805 PCB assembly specifications. Height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm seated maximum) remain within typical assembly clearances and do not affect interchangeability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07158RL (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F1580CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (158 Ohms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), composition (thick film), and package format (0805 / 2012 Metric). Physical height difference (0.60mm vs 0.66mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay Dale CRCW0805158RFKEA and the Samsung RC2012F1580CS?

A: Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the Vishay part. Physical height is lower (0.50mm vs 0.66mm), which remains compatible with standard 0805 assembly processes.

Q: Are the Panasonic ERJ-6ENF1580V and Samsung RC2012F1580CS interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts meet all mandatory substitution criteria: 158 Ohms ±1%, 0.125W power rating, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, and ROHS3 compliance. The Panasonic part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and has a slightly higher seated height (0.70mm vs 0.66mm), which does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Does the height difference between substitute parts affect PCB assembly?

A: No. All substitute parts have seated heights between 0.50mm and 0.70mm, which fall within standard 0805 package specifications and typical PCB assembly clearances. Height variation does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: Both CRCW0805158RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-6ENF1580V (Panasonic) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC0805FR-07158RL (YAGEO) does not specify automotive qualification and should not be used in automotive-grade designs unless automotive certification is not required.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-07158RL, CRCW0805158RFKEA, and ERJ-6ENF1580V are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RC2012F1580CS.
