Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F5900CS is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 590 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Composition: Thick Film
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS3 Compliance
• REACH Unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these core parameters. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification or moisture-resistant construction represent enhanced capabilities that do not prevent substitution but may provide additional qualification for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Active Product Status):

The following parts are functionally equivalent and maintain Active product status:

• ERJ-6ENF5900V (Panasonic): Suitable for applications requiring Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Identical electrical specifications with 0.70mm maximum seated height.

• KTR10EZPF5900 (Rohm Semiconductor): Qualified for automotive applications with High Voltage capability. Matches main part height specification at 0.65mm.

• RC0805FR-07590RL (YAGEO): Moisture-resistant construction equivalent to main part. Lowest seated height at 0.60mm provides space optimization in dense layouts.

• RMCF0805FT590R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Automotive AEC-Q200 rated with standard 0.65mm height. Suitable for automotive and industrial applications.

• CRCW0805590RFKEA (Vishay Dale): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified with lowest seated height at 0.50mm. Optimal for space-constrained designs.

Discontinued Part:

• MCR10ERTF5900 (Rohm Semiconductor): Discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain compatible but sourcing is limited. Use active alternatives for new designs.

All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, and identical electrical performance within specified tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-6ENF5900V replace RC2012F5900CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The Automotive AEC-Q200 certification of ERJ-6ENF5900V represents additional qualification that does not restrict use in standard applications. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the seated height differences between substitute parts?

A: Seated height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm) affect PCB clearance and component density. CRCW0805590RFKEA at 0.50mm provides maximum clearance for dense layouts. RC0805FR-07590RL at 0.60mm and KTR10EZPF5900/RMCF0805FT590R at 0.65mm are standard. ERJ-6ENF5900V at 0.70mm requires verification of available vertical space. All heights remain within 0805 package specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Five of six active substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging: ERJ-6ENF5900V, KTR10EZPF5900, RC0805FR-07590RL, RMCF0805FT590R, and CRCW0805590RFKEA. MCR10ERTF5900 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format but is discontinued.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and standard thick film construction?

A: Moisture-resistant construction (RC2012F5900CS and RC0805FR-07590RL) provides enhanced protection in humid environments. Standard thick film (MCR10ERTF5900) and automotive-qualified parts (ERJ-6ENF5900V, KTR10EZPF5900, RMCF0805FT590R, CRCW0805590RFKEA) maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special handling.

Q: Can KTR10EZPF5900 be used in high-voltage applications where RC2012F5900CS cannot?

A: KTR10EZPF5900 includes High Voltage capability as an additional feature. However, both parts share identical electrical specifications (590 Ω ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C). High Voltage qualification indicates enhanced design margin for specific voltage stress conditions. Consult application requirements and voltage ratings for final selection.

Q: Is MCR10ERTF5900 suitable for new product designs?

A: MCR10ERTF5900 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. For new designs, select from active alternatives: ERJ-6ENF5900V, KTR10EZPF5900, RC0805FR-07590RL, RMCF0805FT590R, or CRCW0805590RFKEA. All maintain identical electrical performance and active product status.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance of RC2012F5900CS.
