Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC2012F1693CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 169 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

Composition:

• Thick film construction

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification or moisture-resistant construction represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent substitution but indicate expanded application scope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Selection between substitute options is determined by application requirements and packaging availability:

For General Industrial Applications: RC0805FR-07169KL (YAGEO) offers moisture-resistant construction with the lowest seated height (0.60mm), suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

For Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF1693V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FG169K (Stackpole), RMCF0805FT169K (Stackpole), and CRCW0805169KFKEA (Vishay Dale) all carry Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. CRCW0805169KFKEA provides the lowest profile at 0.50mm seated height.

For Tape & Reel Packaging: ERJ-6ENF1693V, RC0805FR-07169KL, CRCW0805169KFKEA, and RMCF0805FT169K are supplied in Tape & Reel format. RMCF0805FG169K is supplied in Cut Tape format.

All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-6ENF1693V replace RC2012F1693CS directly?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (169 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), 0805 package dimensions, and ROHS3 compliance. The ERJ-6ENF1693V includes Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which represents an enhanced specification level. Seated height differs by 0.05mm (0.70mm vs 0.65mm), which is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and AEC-Q200 variants?

A: Moisture-resistant construction (RC2012F1693CS, RC0805FR-07169KL) addresses humidity exposure during storage and operation. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification (ERJ-6ENF1693V, RMCF0805FG169K, RMCF0805FT169K, CRCW0805169KFKEA) indicates qualification for automotive temperature cycling, vibration, and reliability standards. Both feature sets are independent; a component may have one, both, or neither.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs Cut Tape) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. RMCF0805FG169K in Cut Tape format is electrically identical to RMCF0805FT169K in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent inventory quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary by supplier and part number. RC0805FR-07169KL (39,516 pcs), ERJ-6ENF1693V (29,568 pcs), and CRCW0805169KFKEA (6,977 pcs) maintain substantial stock. RMCF0805FT169K (5,558 pcs) and RMCF0805FG169K (1,581 pcs) have lower availability.

Q: Can I use CRCW0805169KFKEA in a design originally specified for RC2012F1693CS?

A: Yes. CRCW0805169KFKEA meets all electrical and mechanical requirements. The 0.50mm seated height (versus 0.65mm for RC2012F1693CS) is lower, which may improve PCB assembly clearance in some designs. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification provides additional qualification for temperature and reliability performance.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. The component can be stored at room temperature and humidity without desiccant packaging or time-limited shelf life restrictions.
