RC2012F1823CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC2012F1823CS is a 182 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, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating), mechanical compatibility (package size, termination count), environmental ratings, and compliance certifications. Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain continuity, inventory availability, or application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F1823CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence: Resistance value must be 182 kOhms with ±1% tolerance. Power dissipation capability must be 0.125W minimum. Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C minimum.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation must be 0805 (2012 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Component must have exactly 2 terminations for surface mount assembly.

Environmental & Compliance: All substitute parts must maintain RoHS3 compliance status. Moisture Sensitivity Level must be 1 (Unlimited). REACH status must be unaffected. ECCN and HTSUS classifications must align.

Composition & Construction: Thick film construction is required. Moisture-resistant or automotive-grade features are acceptable enhancements but not mandatory for basic substitution.

Substitute parts are categorized as Direct Manufacturer equivalents (CR0805-FX-1823ELF, ERJ-6ENF1823V, RC0805FR-07182KL, RMCF0805FG182K, RMCF0805FT182K) or Similar alternatives (CRCW0805182KFKEA, MCR10ERTF1823) based on manufacturer designation and feature alignment.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Standard Industrial Applications: CR0805-FX-1823ELF (Bourns), RC0805FR-07182KL (YAGEO), and RC2012F1823CS (Samsung) are functionally equivalent with Active product status. All maintain moisture-resistant construction and identical electrical specifications. Selection may be based on inventory availability and supply chain preference.

For Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF1823V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FG182K (Stackpole), RMCF0805FT182K (Stackpole), and CRCW0805182KFKEA (Vishay Dale) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs requiring enhanced reliability documentation and qualification testing compliance.

For Discontinued Component Replacement: MCR10ERTF1823 (Rohm Semiconductor) is marked as Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. This part should not be selected for new designs or long-term supply requirements. Active alternatives from Bourns, YAGEO, Panasonic, Stackpole, or Vishay Dale are recommended.

Height Considerations: Component height varies between 0.50mm (CRCW0805182KFKEA) and 0.70mm (ERJ-6ENF1823V). For space-constrained PCB layouts, CRCW0805182KFKEA offers minimum height. For standard applications, height variation within this range does not affect functionality.

Compliance Verification: All listed substitutes maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status. No additional compliance documentation is required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC2012F1823CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts match the critical electrical parameters (182 kΩ ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical specifications (0805 package, 2 terminations). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically compatible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between "Direct Manufacturer" and "Similar" substitute classifications?

A: Direct Manufacturer substitutes (CR0805-FX-1823ELF, ERJ-6ENF1823V, RC0805FR-07182KL, RMCF0805FG182K, RMCF0805FT182K) are primary equivalents from major manufacturers with identical specifications. Similar alternatives (CRCW0805182KFKEA, MCR10ERTF1823) meet all electrical and mechanical requirements but may have different feature sets or product status. Both categories are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Should I use automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q200) in non-automotive applications?

A: Automotive-qualified parts (ERJ-6ENF1823V, RMCF0805FG182K, RMCF0805FT182K, CRCW0805182KFKEA) exceed standard industrial requirements and are fully compatible with non-automotive designs. Their use provides enhanced reliability margin and extended qualification documentation. Selection is optional unless automotive compliance is mandated.

Q: Why is MCR10ERTF1823 marked as Discontinued?

A: MCR10ERTF1823 from Rohm Semiconductor is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While existing inventory may be available (1854 Pcs), this part should not be specified for new designs or applications requiring long-term supply assurance. Active alternatives from other manufacturers are recommended.

Q: Are there any height or footprint differences that affect PCB assembly?

A: All parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) footprint with dimensions 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Seated height varies between 0.50mm and 0.70mm. This variation is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect component placement or soldering. Height selection is relevant only for space-constrained applications.

Q: What is MSL 1 and why does it matter?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates Unlimited shelf life with no moisture precautions required. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they can be stored and handled under standard conditions without desiccant packaging or baking procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Mixed sourcing from multiple manufacturers is acceptable for production continuity and supply chain flexibility. No performance or reliability differences are introduced by manufacturer variation within this equivalence group.
