Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2802CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (28 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must be identical across all substitute parts.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with matching physical dimensions (0.079" L × 0.049" W / 2.00mm × 1.25mm) and two terminations for direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Environmental & Compliance Requirements: Operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), composition (thick film), and RoHS3 compliance must be maintained.

Moisture Resistance: MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating is required for equivalent substitution.

Four substitute parts meet these criteria. RC0805FR-0728KL (YAGEO) is classified as a direct equivalent with identical moisture resistance features. CRCW080528K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2802V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics) are classified as similar substitutes with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which exceeds the base specification requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RC2012F2802CS. Selection between equivalent and similar substitutes depends on application requirements and supply chain considerations.

RC0805FR-0728KL (YAGEO) is the direct equivalent substitute, matching the base specification profile without automotive qualification. This part is suitable for general industrial and consumer applications where AEC-Q200 certification is not required.

CRCW080528K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2802V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics) are similar substitutes with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts exceed the base specification and are suitable for automotive, industrial, and mission-critical applications. The automotive qualification provides additional process controls and reliability assurance.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. Height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm seated maximum) are within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 packages and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-0728KL replace RC2012F2802CS in all applications?

A: RC0805FR-0728KL is a direct equivalent substitute with identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and environmental ratings. It is suitable for replacement in applications where automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is not required. Both parts share the same 0805 package, 28 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the difference between the direct equivalent and similar substitutes?

A: RC0805FR-0728KL (YAGEO) is classified as a direct equivalent, matching the base specification without additional automotive qualification. CRCW080528K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2802V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics) are similar substitutes with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides enhanced reliability assurance and process controls. All four parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: RC2012F2802CS and RC0805FR-0728KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. CRCW080528K0FKEA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging. ERJ-6ENF2802V and RMCF0805FT28K0 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Packaging format does not affect component electrical performance or PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Do height differences affect PCB assembly?

A: Seated maximum heights range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm) across all parts. These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 packages and do not affect reflow soldering, component placement, or electrical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All four substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level and REACH unaffected status, matching the compliance profile of the RC2012F2802CS.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW080528K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2802V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring enhanced reliability assurance.
