Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2494CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 2.49 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Composition: Thick Film
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Physical height variations (seated maximum) do not affect substitution eligibility when all other parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0805FR-072M49L (YAGEO) is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part maintains Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring standard industrial-grade thick film resistor performance.

CRCW08052M49FKEA (Vishay Dale) is functionally equivalent with the addition of Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards. The reduced seated height (0.020" versus 0.026") presents no compatibility issues for standard PCB assembly processes. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for automotive applications or where enhanced reliability certification is specified.

Both substitute parts are available in higher inventory quantities (40,962 Pcs and 14,455 Pcs respectively) compared to the original part (794 Pcs), supporting supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-072M49L replace RC2012F2494CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.49 MOhms ±1%, 0.125W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and mechanical package (0805 2012 Metric). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. Direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the difference between the three parts?

A: RC2012F2494CS (Samsung) and RC0805FR-072M49L (YAGEO) are standard industrial-grade thick film resistors with identical specifications. CRCW08052M49FKEA (Vishay Dale) includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. Physical height varies slightly (0.66mm, 0.60mm, and 0.50mm respectively) but does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Is the height difference between parts significant?

A: No. The seated height variations (0.026", 0.024", 0.020") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect component placement, soldering, or electrical performance. All three parts are compatible with standard 0805 package footprints.

Q: Which substitute should I select for automotive applications?

A: CRCW08052M49FKEA (Vishay Dale) is qualified to Automotive AEC-Q200 standard and is the appropriate selection for automotive circuit designs.

Q: Are all parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
