Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC2012F2872CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance: 28.7 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Number of Terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 rating or High Voltage capability represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent substitution but indicate expanded application scope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F2872CS and meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

For General-Purpose Applications: CR0805-FX-2872ELF (Bourns) and RC0805FR-0728K7L (YAGEO) are suitable alternatives with moisture-resistant construction matching the original specification.

For Automotive Applications: ERJ-6ENF2872V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FT28K7 (Stackpole), and CRCW080528K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and are appropriate for automotive-grade circuit designs.

For High-Voltage Applications: KTR10EZPF2872 (Rohm Semiconductor) includes high-voltage capability in addition to AEC-Q200 rating, suitable for applications requiring enhanced voltage performance.

Height Considerations: CRCW080528K7FKEA offers the lowest seated height (0.50mm), beneficial for space-constrained PCB layouts. All parts remain within standard 0805 package envelope specifications.

Inventory and Availability: CR0805-FX-2872ELF (Bourns) maintains the highest inventory level (25,562 pcs), followed by ERJ-6ENF2872V (Panasonic) with 98,976 pcs. Selection may consider supply chain continuity and lead time requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC2012F2872CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts match the electrical specifications (28.7 kΩ ±1%, 0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and mechanical package (0805 / 2012 Metric). Direct substitution on the PCB is possible without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between parts marked "Moisture Resistant" and those marked "Automotive AEC-Q200"?

A: Both designations indicate different application qualifications. Moisture Resistant parts (CR0805-FX-2872ELF, RC0805FR-0728K7L) are suitable for general industrial applications. Automotive AEC-Q200 parts (ERJ-6ENF2872V, RMCF0805FT28K7, CRCW080528K7FKEA, KTR10EZPF2872) meet automotive industry reliability standards and are required for automotive circuit designs. AEC-Q200 parts can be used in non-automotive applications without restriction.

Q: Does the height difference between parts affect PCB assembly?

A: Height variations range from 0.50mm to 0.70mm maximum seated height. All values fall within standard 0805 package specifications. Height differences do not affect PCB assembly compatibility or reflow soldering processes. Selection based on height is only necessary for applications with specific vertical space constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, matching the environmental compliance of the original RC2012F2872CS.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. Parts with this rating require no special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. All substitute parts carry identical MSL 1 rating.

Q: Can I use KTR10EZPF2872 (High Voltage) in a standard application?

A: Yes. KTR10EZPF2872 meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RC2012F2872CS. The high-voltage feature represents an enhanced capability that does not restrict use in standard applications. This part is suitable for both standard and high-voltage circuit designs.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF2872V (Panasonic) shows the highest inventory at 98,976 pcs, followed by CR0805-FX-2872ELF (Bourns) at 25,562 pcs. Both parts offer strong supply availability for production requirements.
