• 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 to 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Level 1

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity (different suppliers)
• Height-Seated dimension (within 0.020" to 0.028" range)
• Series designation (RC, CR0805, ERJ-6EN, KTR, RC_L, RMCF, CRCW)
• Additional certifications (Automotive AEC-Q200, High Voltage features)
• Inventory availability

All identified substitute parts maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original RC2012F2261CS specification. Substitute parts may include enhanced features such as automotive qualification without compromising base functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

General Industrial Applications: CR0805-FX-2261ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0805FR-072K26L (YAGEO) are suitable for non-automotive applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications to the RC2012F2261CS with compact height profiles (0.024 inches).

Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF2261V (Panasonic), KTR10EZPF2261 (Rohm Semiconductor), RMCF0805FT2K26 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), and CRCW08052K26FKEA (Vishay Dale) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. KTR10EZPF2261 includes high voltage capability in addition to automotive qualification. CRCW08052K26FKEA offers the lowest height profile (0.020 inches) among automotive-qualified options.

Supply Chain Continuity: All substitute parts maintain Active product status with established inventory availability. Selection should prioritize parts with highest inventory levels and shortest lead times based on current supply conditions.

Compliance Verification: All listed parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status, matching the original RC2012F2261CS environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the RC2012F2261CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (2.26 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical compatibility (0805 package, 2 terminations). Physical height variations (0.020" to 0.028") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not require design modification.

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

A: Moisture-resistant variants (CR0805-FX-2261ELF, RC0805FR-072K26L) are optimized for general industrial environments with enhanced moisture protection. Automotive AEC-Q200 variants (ERJ-6ENF2261V, KTR10EZPF2261, RMCF0805FT2K26, CRCW08052K26FKEA) meet automotive industry qualification standards including thermal cycling, vibration, and reliability testing. AEC-Q200 parts are suitable for both automotive and industrial applications.

Q: Are there any height restrictions I should consider when selecting a substitute?

A: Height variations range from 0.020" (CRCW08052K26FKEA) to 0.028" (ERJ-6ENF2261V). Standard PCB assembly processes accommodate this 0.008" variation without impact. If your application has specific height constraints due to component stacking or enclosure clearance, verify the substitute part height against your design requirements.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF2261V (Panasonic) shows the highest inventory level at 155,259 pieces. RC0805FR-072K26L (YAGEO) and RMCF0805FT2K26 (Stackpole) also maintain substantial inventory above 28,000 pieces. Availability should be confirmed with your supplier for current stock status.

Q: Can I use KTR10EZPF2261 in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. KTR10EZPF2261 exceeds the electrical and environmental specifications of the RC2012F2261CS through its automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and high voltage capability. It is fully compatible with general industrial applications and offers enhanced reliability margins.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same RoHS and MSL compliance?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original RC2012F2261CS. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.

Q: What should I verify before finalizing a substitution?

A: Confirm the substitute part number against your supplier's current inventory and lead time. Verify the manufacturer's datasheet for any application-specific notes. Ensure PCB assembly equipment is compatible with the substitute part's height profile. Validate that your application does not require specific certifications beyond those provided (such as military or medical qualifications not listed in these specifications).
