Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F1691CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (1.69 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and termination count (2) must match.

Environmental & Compliance Requirements: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status must be maintained.

Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) configuration for automated assembly compatibility.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in seated height (0.020" to 0.028") and specific feature designations (Moisture Resistant vs. Automotive AEC-Q200) do not disqualify substitution when core electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

General Purpose Applications: RC0805FR-071K69L (YAGEO) and CR0805-FX-1691ELF (Bourns Inc.) are suitable for non-automotive applications requiring moisture resistant characteristics. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and compact form factors.

Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF1691V (Panasonic), KTR10EZPF1691 (Rohm Semiconductor), RMCF0805FT1K69 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), and CRCW08051K69FKEA (Vishay Dale) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are appropriate for automotive-grade circuit designs.

High Voltage Circuits: KTR10EZPF1691 (Rohm Semiconductor) includes high voltage designation in addition to AEC-Q200 rating, providing enhanced capability for elevated voltage applications within the 0805 package class.

Inventory Availability: RMCF0805FT1K69 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) offers the highest inventory level at 250,362 pieces. ERJ-6ENF1691V (Panasonic) provides 79,627 pieces. RC0805FR-071K69L (YAGEO) maintains 82,178 pieces in stock.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating identical to the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC2012F1691CS with any of the listed parts in my circuit design?

A: Yes, all listed parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance (1.69 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Substitution is valid for direct replacement in PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between "Moisture Resistant" and "Automotive AEC-Q200" designations?

A: These are feature classifications, not electrical differences. Moisture Resistant parts (RC2012F1691CS, CR0805-FX-1691ELF, RC0805FR-071K69L) are optimized for humidity environments. Automotive AEC-Q200 parts (ERJ-6ENF1691V, KTR10EZPF1691, RMCF0805FT1K69, CRCW08051K69FKEA) meet automotive industry qualification standards. Both meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Does the variation in seated height (0.020" to 0.028") affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. All parts are within standard 0805 package tolerance. Variations of 0.008" (0.20mm) are within normal manufacturing specifications and do not impact automated pick-and-place assembly, reflow soldering, or PCB layout.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the primary RC2012F1691CS, carry RoHS3 compliance certification. REACH status is unaffected for all parts.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for automotive applications?

A: ERJ-6ENF1691V, KTR10EZPF1691, RMCF0805FT1K69, and CRCW08051K69FKEA all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection among these four depends on inventory availability and supply chain preferences. KTR10EZPF1691 includes additional high voltage designation if that capability is required.

Q: Is Tape & Reel (TR) packaging mandatory for all substitutes?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel format, matching the primary part's packaging specification for automated assembly compatibility.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in production without design changes?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, package designation, and compliance certifications are equivalent. No design modifications or re-qualification testing is required for direct substitution.
