Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F273CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 27 kOhms
• 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 ~ 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel)
• Physical height dimensions (within 0805 package specification)
• Manufacturer-specific features (moisture resistance, automotive certification)
• Inventory availability

Parts are classified as Direct Substitutes when all mandatory parameters match exactly. Parts are classified as Similar Substitutes when they exceed the power rating specification or introduce additional features beyond the base requirement while maintaining all other mandatory parameters.

The following parts exceed the base 0.125W power rating while maintaining all other mandatory parameters. These are suitable only when higher power dissipation capability is required:

• CRCW080527K0FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) – 0.5W power rating with AEC-Q200 and pulse withstanding capability, 66,619 units in stock
• ERJ-UP6F2702V (Panasonic Electronic Components) – 0.5W power rating with AEC-Q200, anti-sulfur, and pulse withstanding capability, 6,102 units in stock

Compliance and Certification Status:

All listed parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. Parts designated with AEC-Q200 certification are qualified for automotive applications and may be required for designs subject to automotive reliability standards. Parts without AEC-Q200 designation are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC2012F273CS with a part that has a different power rating?

A: No, unless your circuit design specifically requires higher power dissipation. The RC2012F273CS is rated at 0.125W (1/8W). Direct substitutes must maintain this exact power rating. Parts with 0.5W (1/2W) rating (CRCW080527K0FKEAHP and ERJ-UP6F2702V) are classified as similar substitutes and should only be used when higher power capability is a design requirement.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Both packaging formats contain identical electronic components. Tape & Reel packaging is supplied on continuous tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging is pre-cut tape on a reel, also suitable for automated assembly. Selection depends on your manufacturing equipment compatibility and inventory management preferences.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed in this reference maintain ROHS3 compliance status, matching the RC2012F273CS specification.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive electronics council qualification standard for passive components. Parts bearing this certification have undergone additional reliability testing and are approved for automotive applications. If your design is not subject to automotive requirements, AEC-Q200 certified parts are still fully compatible but may have higher cost.

Q: Can I use ERJ-6ENF2702V as a direct replacement for RC2012F273CS?

A: Yes. ERJ-6ENF2702V is a direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical specifications (27 kΩ, ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and package format (0805). The addition of AEC-Q200 automotive certification does not prevent its use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: The temperature coefficient indicates how much the resistance value changes with temperature. All listed parts maintain ±100ppm/°C, meaning the resistance will drift by a maximum of 100 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. This specification is identical across all substitute parts.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest physical height?

A: CRCW080527K0FKEA and CRCW080527K0FKEAHP both have a maximum seated height of 0.50mm (0.020"), compared to the RC2012F273CS at 0.65mm. This may be relevant for applications with strict PCB clearance constraints.

Q: Is moisture resistance a critical parameter for substitution?

A: Moisture resistance is a feature specification, not a mandatory substitution parameter. The RC2012F273CS includes moisture-resistant characteristics. Direct substitutes CR0805-FX-2702ELF, RC0805FR-0727KL, and AC0805FR-0727KL also include this feature. Other direct substitutes (CRG0805F27K, ERJ-6ENF2702V, KTR10EZPF2702, RMCF0805FT27K0, CRCW080527K0FKEA) do not specify moisture resistance but remain fully compatible as they meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' parts in the same circuit board?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Mixing manufacturers on the same board is acceptable from a technical standpoint. However, verify that your procurement and quality assurance processes support multiple manufacturer sources.
