Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2804CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.8 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package: 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 maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Physical dimensions remain within the 0805 package standard. Variations in seated height do not affect functional compatibility within the 0805 package class.

Parameter Comparison
