RC2012F564CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC2012F564CS is a 560 kOhms ±1% 0.125W (1/8W) thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) surface mount package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture resistant characteristics and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Selection among direct substitutes is based on availability, packaging format preference (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) or enhanced environmental features (moisture resistance, anti-sulfur coating).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805560KFKEAHP (0.5W) be used in place of RC2012F564CS (0.125W)?

A: Yes. The higher power rating of CRCW0805560KFKEAHP provides greater thermal dissipation capacity than required by the original specification. All other electrical parameters (560 kOhms, ±1% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical parameters (0805 package, 2-termination configuration) are identical. The component occupies the same PCB footprint and is mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between direct substitutes and similar substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes match all electrical specifications of the main part, including power rating (0.125W). Similar substitutes maintain resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and package compatibility but differ in power rating (0.5W) or include additional features such as pulse withstanding capability or anti-sulfur coating. Similar substitutes are functionally compatible but provide enhanced performance characteristics beyond the original specification.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q200) compatible with non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates compliance with automotive reliability and environmental testing standards. Parts meeting AEC-Q200 criteria exceed standard industrial specifications and are suitable for any application requiring the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Automotive-qualified substitutes provide equivalent or superior performance in non-automotive applications.

Q: Does height variation among substitute parts affect PCB assembly?

A: Height variations (ranging from 0.50mm to 0.70mm maximum seated height) are within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility. All parts maintain identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm) and are compatible with standard surface mount assembly equipment and reflow processes.

Q: Why is MCR10ERTF5603 listed as discontinued?

A: MCR10ERTF5603 is marked as discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating it is no longer actively supplied through this distribution channel. The part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent to RC2012F564CS but should not be selected for new designs requiring long-term availability assurance. Active alternatives from other manufacturers are recommended.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in two packaging formats: Tape & Reel (TR) for high-volume automated assembly and Cut Tape (CT) with Digi-Reel® for lower-volume or mixed-component orders. RC0805FR-07560KL is available in Cut Tape format; all other substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel format. Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the environmental compliance profile of RC2012F564CS. This ensures compatibility with regulatory requirements and manufacturing processes requiring lead-free and halogen-free component specifications.
