Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F3574CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value of 3.57 MOhms, tolerance of ±1%, and power rating of 0.125W must be identical. Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C ensures thermal stability matching.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package format must be 0805 (2012 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Height variation is acceptable within component manufacturing tolerances.

Material & Composition: Thick film construction with moisture-resistant properties maintains functional equivalence.

Compliance & Certifications: ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status must be maintained. ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030 classification consistency ensures regulatory alignment.

Product Status: Only Active status components qualify as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0805FR-073M57L manufactured by YAGEO qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the RC2012F3574CS. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. The height differential of 0.002" (0.06mm) between seated positions falls within standard component manufacturing tolerances and does not impact PCB assembly or circuit performance.

Both parts carry Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm equivalent environmental and moisture protection standards. Regulatory classifications remain consistent across ECCN, HTSUS, and REACH designations.

Selection between these components may be based on inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or established procurement preferences, as electrical and mechanical performance characteristics are fully equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-073M57L be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F3574CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (3.57 MOhms ±1%, 0.125W), package format (0805/2012 Metric), and operating characteristics (-55°C to 155°C). The 0.002" height difference is within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect PCB assembly or circuit function.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL 1 rating, maintain REACH unaffected status, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) classifications.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for 0805 chip resistors?

A: Substitution requires matching resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, package dimensions, composition type, and compliance certifications. All these parameters must be identical or within specified tolerances.

Q: Does the slight height difference between RC2012F3574CS and RC0805FR-073M57L affect PCB design?

A: No. The 0.002" (0.06mm) height variation is within standard component manufacturing tolerances for 0805 package resistors and does not require PCB layout modifications or assembly process changes.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both components maintain Active product status with consistent environmental ratings (MSL 1, ROHS3 compliance) and identical operating temperature ranges, supporting equivalent reliability performance in specified applications.
