RC2012F2214CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC2012F2214CS is a 2.21 MOhms ±1% 0.125W chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This thick film, moisture-resistant component operates across -55°C to 155°C and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The part is currently in active production status with 1058 units available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package class and performance parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2214CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 2.21 MOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (minimum requirement)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), height-seated maximum dimensions, and additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200) do not disqualify substitution when core electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0805FR-072M21L (YAGEO): This substitute maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC2012F2214CS. YAGEO RC_L series components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The reduced height-seated maximum (0.024" vs. 0.026") presents no compatibility issues for standard PCB assembly processes. Packaging is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® formats, offering flexibility for different procurement workflows. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 53991 units.

CRCW08052M21FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute provides full electrical and mechanical equivalence with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The CRCW series maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The lowest height-seated maximum (0.020") ensures compatibility with space-constrained PCB designs. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Inventory availability is 41700 units in Tape & Reel packaging.

Both substitutes are active production components with established supply chains and meet all mandatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-072M21L replace RC2012F2214CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2.21 MOhms, ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical compatibility (0805 package, thick film, 2 terminations). The reduced height-seated maximum of RC0805FR-072M21L does not affect standard PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats offered?

A: RC2012F2214CS and CRCW08052M21FKEA are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. RC0805FR-072M21L is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, offering alternative handling and storage options. All formats contain the same component specifications.

Q: Is CRCW08052M21FKEA suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade reliability but does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. CRCW08052M21FKEA meets all general industrial compliance requirements (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, MSL 1) and is functionally equivalent to RC2012F2214CS.

Q: Are there any height restrictions when substituting these parts?

A: Height-seated maximum values are 0.026" (RC2012F2214CS), 0.024" (RC0805FR-072M21L), and 0.020" (CRCW08052M21FKEA). All values fall within standard 0805 package specifications. Substitution with lower-height components presents no clearance issues for typical PCB designs.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same moisture resistance?

A: Yes. All three components feature moisture-resistant thick film construction with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute options?

A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. CRCW08052M21FKEA additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. All parts are suitable for commercial and industrial applications.
