Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F2874CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

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

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Terminations: 2

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part CRCW08052M87FKEA manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Additional automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) does not disqualify this part from substitution; it represents an enhanced specification level suitable for broader application environments.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC2012F2874CS and CRCW08052M87FKEA are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Selection between these parts is based on application requirements and supply chain considerations:

RC2012F2874CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): Primary selection when Samsung supply chain is established or preferred. Standard thick film resistor specification suitable for general industrial applications.

CRCW08052M87FKEA (Vishay Dale): Direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Seated height is 0.020" (0.50mm) compared to 0.026" (0.66mm) for the Samsung part, which may be advantageous in space-constrained PCB layouts.

Both parts are suitable for direct PCB footprint replacement without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08052M87FKEA replace RC2012F2874CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (2.87 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions are equivalent at 2.00mm x 1.25mm. The CRCW08052M87FKEA has a lower seated height (0.020" vs 0.026"), which is compatible with standard 0805 PCB footprints.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. This certification indicates the Vishay part meets additional reliability and testing requirements for automotive applications. For non-automotive applications, this qualification does not affect substitution eligibility but represents an enhanced specification level.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Compliance profiles are identical.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for 0805 chip resistors?

A: Substitution is determined by matching resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package type, and physical dimensions. Composition (thick film) and compliance certifications must also align. The RC2012F2874CS and CRCW08052M87FKEA meet all these criteria.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C with matching temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, ensuring equivalent performance in high-temperature environments.
