Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2801CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.8 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
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), physical height dimensions, and feature enhancements (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not disqualify substitution but represent available options for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F2801CS based on electrical specifications and compliance certifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Standard Industrial Applications: RC0805FR-072K8L (YAGEO) provides direct equivalence with moisture-resistant thick film composition and standard industrial specifications. Available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats.

Automotive and High-Reliability Applications: CRCW08052K80FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2801V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT2K80 (Stackpole) all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for automotive, industrial control, and mission-critical applications requiring enhanced reliability standards.

Inventory and Supply Considerations: RMCF0805FT2K80 (Stackpole) maintains the highest inventory level (188,659 pcs), followed by ERJ-6ENF2801V (Panasonic) at 68,992 pcs. RC0805FR-072K8L (YAGEO) provides 23,200 pcs. CRCW08052K80FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers 20,915 pcs.

Physical Constraints: All parts conform to 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W). Height variations range from 0.020" to 0.028" seated maximum. Applications with strict height limitations should reference specific component datasheets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-072K8L (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F2801CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 2.8 kOhms ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1. Packaging format differs (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), but electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The RC2012F2801CS (Samsung) and RC0805FR-072K8L (YAGEO) are specified as moisture-resistant thick film resistors for general industrial use. CRCW08052K80FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2801V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT2K80 (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and testing standards. All five parts meet the same electrical and environmental specifications; AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional certification level.

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

A: All substitute parts conform to 0805 (2012 Metric) package specifications. Seated maximum heights range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm). Applications with PCB layout constraints or automated assembly height limitations should confirm compatibility with specific component datasheets before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best supply availability?

A: RMCF0805FT2K80 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) maintains the highest inventory at 188,659 pcs. This part is suitable for high-volume production requirements and provides supply chain security for extended procurement windows.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs without PCB layout modifications?

A: Yes, all substitute parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package footprints and two-termination configurations. PCB layouts designed for RC2012F2801CS accommodate all listed substitutes without modification. Verify component height clearance for specific applications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All five parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts. HTSUS classification is 8533.21.0030 across all variants.
