Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2871CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 2.87 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (mandatory)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (exact match)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represent enhanced specifications that do not preclude substitution but indicate expanded application scope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts satisfy the mandatory electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria for direct replacement of the RC2012F2871CS. Selection among available substitutes is based on the following factors:

RC0805FR-072K87L (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with moisture-resistant thick film construction. Packaging available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Highest inventory availability (170,910 pcs). Seated height 0.024" (0.60mm), representing the lowest profile among alternatives.

CRCW08052K87FKEA (Vishay Dale): Equivalent component with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Tape & Reel packaging. Seated height 0.020" (0.50mm), the most compact option. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

ERJ-6ENF2871V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Equivalent component with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Tape & Reel packaging. Seated height 0.028" (0.70mm). Highest inventory availability among automotive-qualified options (148,264 pcs).

RMCF0805FT2K87 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Equivalent component with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Tape & Reel packaging. Seated height 0.026" (0.65mm). Inventory availability 109,711 pcs.

All parts maintain Active product status and full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Selection should prioritize availability, packaging format requirements, and application-specific environmental qualifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-072K87L replace RC2012F2871CS in all applications?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-072K87L meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria: identical 2.87 kOhms ±1% resistance, 0.125W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, 0805 package, and RoHS3/REACH compliance. Seated height difference (0.024" vs 0.026") is within typical PCB assembly tolerances.

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

A: The RC2012F2871CS features moisture-resistant thick film construction. CRCW08052K87FKEA, ERJ-6ENF2871V, and RMCF0805FT2K87 include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, indicating qualification for automotive environmental and reliability standards. Both feature types are electrically and mechanically equivalent; AEC-Q200 certification represents an additional qualification level.

Q: Are there packaging format differences among substitutes?

A: RC2012F2871CS and RMCF0805FT2K87, CRCW08052K87FKEA, ERJ-6ENF2871V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RC0805FR-072K87L is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement requirements.

Q: Do seated height variations affect PCB assembly?

A: Seated height ranges from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm) across all substitutes. These variations fall within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly processes, solder joint reliability, or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC0805FR-072K87L (YAGEO) provides the highest inventory level at 170,910 pcs. For automotive-qualified alternatives, ERJ-6ENF2871V (Panasonic) offers 148,264 pcs.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, matching the original RC2012F2871CS compliance profile.
