RC2012F1623CS 162 kOhms ±1% 1/8W 0805 Chip Resistor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC2012F1623CS is a 162 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when specific application certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification are mandated by design requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F1623CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package / Case: 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
• Number of terminations: 2

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) and physical height dimensions within the 0805 package specification do not affect functional substitution. Additional certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 represent enhanced qualification but do not prevent substitution in non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Active Status, Standard Applications): RC0805FR-07162KL (YAGEO) and CRCW0805162KFKEA (Vishay Dale) are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F1623CS. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and ROHS3 compliance. RC0805FR-07162KL offers moisture-resistant construction matching the primary part. CRCW0805162KFKEA provides automotive AEC-Q200 certification, suitable for applications requiring enhanced reliability qualification.

Direct Substitution (Automotive Applications): ERJ-6ENF1623V (Panasonic Electronic Components) and RMCF0805FT162K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are qualified substitutes for designs requiring automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Both parts maintain full electrical equivalence and extended temperature performance validation.

Conditional Substitution (Discontinued Status): MCR10ERTF1623 (Rohm Semiconductor) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs or long-term production requirements. Existing inventory may be available through alternative distribution channels but carries supply continuity risk.

Packaging Format Considerations: Tape & Reel packaging (RC2012F1623CS, ERJ-6ENF1623V, RMCF0805FT162K) is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging (RC0805FR-07162KL, CRCW0805162KFKEA, MCR10ERTF1623) accommodates lower-volume or mixed-component pick-and-place operations.

Physical Height Variation: All substitute parts remain within 0805 package specification. Height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm) do not affect PCB layout compatibility or solder reflow performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-6ENF1623V replace RC2012F1623CS in non-automotive applications? A: Yes. ERJ-6ENF1623V meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represents additional qualification that does not restrict use in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging? A: Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for high-speed automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging provides components in smaller quantities on cut tape segments, accommodating lower-volume production or component sampling. Electrical performance is identical.

Q: Is MCR10ERTF1623 suitable for new product designs? A: No. MCR10ERTF1623 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. New designs should select from active-status alternatives: RC0805FR-07162KL, CRCW0805162KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1623V, or RMCF0805FT162K.

Q: Do height differences between substitute parts affect PCB assembly? A: No. All substitute parts conform to 0805 (2012 Metric) package specification. Height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm) fall within standard tolerance and do not impact solder joint formation, reflow profile, or component placement accuracy.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best availability? A: RMCF0805FT162K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) shows highest inventory at 170,932 pieces. RC0805FR-07162KL (YAGEO) provides 76,347 pieces. Both represent strong supply positions for production requirements.

Q: Can I use CRCW0805162KFKEA if my application does not require AEC-Q200 certification? A: Yes. CRCW0805162KFKEA is fully compatible with applications not requiring automotive qualification. The AEC-Q200 certification represents enhanced reliability validation but does not restrict use in standard industrial or consumer applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance matching the RC2012F1623CS primary specification.
