Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F1582CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (15.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match or exceed the original specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and number of terminations (2) must be identical to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.

Environmental & Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are mandatory. REACH unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification must be maintained.

Composition & Features: Thick film construction is required. Moisture resistance is a standard feature across all qualified substitutes.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct equivalents or functionally compatible alternatives suitable for drop-in replacement applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred for General Applications): RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) is the primary direct equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Inventory availability is 11,774 pieces. The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB assembly processes.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives: CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT15K8 (Stackpole) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and traceability. All three maintain identical electrical specifications and ROHS3 compliance. Inventory levels are 14,073 pieces (Vishay), 102,658 pieces (Panasonic), and 4,125 pieces (Stackpole) respectively.

Height Considerations: All substitute parts exhibit seated heights within 0.020" to 0.028" (0.50mm to 0.70mm), which accommodates standard PCB assembly clearances. CRCW080515K8FKEA offers the lowest profile at 0.020" (0.50mm), while ERJ-6ENF1582V reaches 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations are negligible for typical circuit board designs.

Compliance & Certification: All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original RC2012F1582CS specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F1582CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-0715K8L is a direct equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (15.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). The seated height difference of 0.002" (0.06mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the standard and automotive-qualified substitutes?

A: CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay), ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT15K8 (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and traceability for automotive applications. Electrically and mechanically, they are equivalent to the RC2012F1582CS. Non-automotive applications may use any of the five identified substitutes based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: Are there any height restrictions when substituting these parts?

A: All substitute parts have seated heights between 0.020" (0.50mm) and 0.028" (0.70mm), compared to the original 0.026" (0.66mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly clearances and do not require design modifications for typical applications. Verify clearance in designs with height-critical constraints.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental specifications?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes operate across -55°C ~ 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, matching the RC2012F1582CS. All are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and REACH unaffected status.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic) has the highest inventory level at 102,658 pieces. CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay) follows with 14,073 pieces, and RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) has 11,774 pieces available.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: Yes. All five parts (RC2012F1582CS, RC0805FR-0715K8L, CRCW080515K8FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1582V, and RMCF0805FT15K8) share identical footprints (0805 / 2012 Metric) and electrical specifications. They are suitable for interchangeable use in the same PCB design without layout modifications.
