Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (1.62 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must match exactly.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm).

Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and RoHS3 compliance must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct equivalents or functionally similar components suitable for circuit board replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent: RC0805FR-071K62L (YAGEO) is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent with identical electrical and environmental specifications. This part maintains Active product status and RoHS3 compliance. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel), which may affect procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives: CRCW08051K62FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1621V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT1K62 (Stackpole) are functionally similar parts with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These components meet all electrical and environmental requirements of the original part. Height variations (0.020" to 0.028" seated maximum) remain within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 package class components.

Compliance Status: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original RC2012F1621CS component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-071K62L replace RC2012F1621CS in production assembly?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-071K62L is a direct equivalent with matching electrical specifications (1.62 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W), package dimensions (0805 / 2012 Metric), and environmental ratings. The difference in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® versus Tape & Reel) does not affect circuit board compatibility.

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

A: The original RC2012F1621CS carries moisture resistant features. The automotive-qualified alternatives (Vishay Dale CRCW08051K62FKEA, Panasonic ERJ-6ENF1621V, and Stackpole RMCF0805FT1K62) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to equivalent electrical and environmental specifications. All parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: Are there height differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Seated maximum heights range from 0.020" (CRCW08051K62FKEA) to 0.028" (ERJ-6ENF1621V), compared to 0.026" for the original RC2012F1621CS. These variations remain within standard 0805 package class tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, matching the original component's regulatory status.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF1621V (Panasonic) has 282,503 pieces in stock, followed by RC0805FR-071K62L (YAGEO) with 139,625 pieces. RC2012F1621CS (Samsung) has 1,043 pieces available.

Q: Can automotive-qualified parts be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive-qualified components (AEC-Q200 rated) meet or exceed specifications for general industrial and commercial applications. Their use in non-automotive circuits presents no technical limitation.
