Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC2012F2613CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (261 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W), and termination count (2) must match.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 rating represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent substitution but indicate suitability for extended application environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC2012F2613CS. Selection among these alternatives is based on the following factors:

Direct Equivalent: RC0805FR-07261KL (YAGEO) provides direct substitution with identical moisture-resistant thick film construction and no additional feature requirements.

Enhanced Specifications: CRCW0805261KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2613V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT261K (Stackpole) include Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and extended environmental performance while maintaining full compatibility with standard industrial applications.

Physical Dimensions: All parts conform to 0805 package specifications. Height variations (0.020" to 0.028") remain within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functional compatibility.

Compliance & Certifications: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment with the original component.

Availability & Supply: Inventory levels vary across manufacturers. YAGEO RC0805FR-07261KL offers the highest stock availability (59,004 units), while Panasonic ERJ-6ENF2613V has the lowest (5,300 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07261KL (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F2613CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (261 kOhms, ±1%, 0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package (0805), composition (thick film), and compliance status (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected). Physical dimensions and termination count are equivalent.

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

A: The RC2012F2613CS and RC0805FR-07261KL feature moisture-resistant thick film construction. The CRCW0805261KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF2613V, and RMCF0805FT261K include Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which indicates compliance with automotive reliability standards. AEC-Q200 parts are suitable for both automotive and industrial applications and do not prevent substitution in standard circuits.

Q: Are height differences between substitute parts significant?

A: Height variations range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm). These differences fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functional compatibility or board-level performance in typical applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All substitute parts conform to the 0805 (2012 Metric) package standard with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W). PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) and why is it important?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts carry this rating, ensuring consistent handling requirements across substitutes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for cost optimization?

A: Selection based on cost requires current pricing data not provided in this reference. Consult supplier quotations for YAGEO RC0805FR-07261KL, Vishay Dale CRCW0805261KFKEA, Panasonic ERJ-6ENF2613V, and Stackpole RMCF0805FT261K for comparative analysis.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RC2012F2613CS.
