Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2870CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (287 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must match exactly.

Mechanical Parameters: Package designation (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and number of terminations (2) must be identical.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required for all substitutes.

Operating Conditions: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must be maintained.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification present in some substitutes represent enhanced specifications that do not preclude substitution but indicate suitability for automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F2870CS based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Direct Equivalent: RC0805FR-07287RL (YAGEO) provides direct substitution with identical feature set and moisture-resistant thick film composition matching the original part.

Automotive Applications: CRCW0805287RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2870V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT287R (Stackpole) include Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. These parts are suitable for designs requiring automotive-grade reliability and are interchangeable with the original part in non-automotive applications.

Supply Availability: ERJ-6ENF2870V (Panasonic) offers the highest inventory level at 175,217 pieces. RC0805FR-07287RL (YAGEO) provides 42,225 pieces. CRCW0805287RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RMCF0805FT287R (Stackpole) offer 17,900 and 16,618 pieces respectively.

Height Considerations: All substitute parts maintain seated heights within 0.020" to 0.028" (0.50mm to 0.70mm), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and clearance requirements.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance with unlimited MSL rating, supporting long-term design continuity and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07287RL (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F2870CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-07287RL matches all critical electrical parameters (287 Ohms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C), mechanical specifications (0805 package, 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and compliance requirements (RoHS3, MSL 1). The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the moisture-resistant feature in RC2012F2870CS and the automotive AEC-Q200 feature in CRCW0805287RFKEA?

A: Moisture-resistant thick film composition is a material property affecting environmental durability. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is a reliability standard for automotive applications. Both features are independent specifications. Parts with AEC-Q200 qualification are suitable for both automotive and general industrial applications and do not preclude substitution in non-automotive designs.

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

A: Seated heights range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm) across all parts. Verify PCB clearance requirements for your specific application. All heights fall within standard 0805 package specifications and are compatible with typical automated assembly equipment.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range, matching the original RC2012F2870CS specification.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best supply availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF2870V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides the highest inventory at 175,217 pieces in stock. RC0805FR-07287RL (YAGEO) offers 42,225 pieces. Both parts are suitable for immediate procurement needs.

Q: Can automotive-qualified parts be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represents enhanced reliability standards. Parts meeting automotive specifications are fully compatible with general industrial and consumer applications and do not introduce incompatibility or performance issues.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original part's regulatory compliance profile.
