RC2012F6813CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC2012F6813CS is a 681 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The resistor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring precision tolerance and moisture resistance in compact surface-mount form factors. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, supply chain alternatives, and component availability options for applications where the original part number may be unavailable or where specific certifications are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC2012F6813CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: resistance value (681 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). All identified substitute parts match these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct Equivalents and Similar Parts with Enhanced Certifications. Direct equivalents maintain identical feature sets to the main part. Similar parts include automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification, which represents an enhanced qualification level suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications while maintaining full compatibility with the original specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RC2012F6813CS across all critical parameters: 681 kOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.125W power rating, 0805 package, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. All parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating.

RC0805FR-07681KL (YAGEO) serves as a direct functional equivalent with identical feature set and general-purpose application suitability. This part is recommended for applications where supply continuity from an alternative primary manufacturer is required.

CRCW0805681KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF6813V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT681K (Stackpole) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification certification. These parts are suitable for automotive applications, high-reliability systems, and environments requiring enhanced component qualification. AEC-Q200 certification indicates compliance with automotive industry standards for passive components. These parts are interchangeable with the original RC2012F6813CS in non-automotive applications while providing additional qualification assurance for automotive designs.

Component selection should consider packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), seated height constraints in PCB assembly, and supply chain availability. All parts are Active status with established inventory levels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07681KL (YAGEO) be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F6813CS (Samsung)?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-07681KL matches all critical electrical parameters: 681 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W power rating, 0805 package, thick film composition, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm) compared to 0.026" (0.66mm) for the original part, which is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RC2012F6813CS and the AEC-Q200 qualified alternatives?

A: The Samsung part is specified for general-purpose applications with moisture resistance. The CRCW0805681KFKEA (Vishay), ERJ-6ENF6813V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT681K (Stackpole) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. All parts are electrically and mechanically identical and fully interchangeable. AEC-Q200 certification is required for automotive applications but provides no functional difference in non-automotive use.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. RC2012F6813CS, RC0805FR-07681KL, ERJ-6ENF6813V, and RMCF0805FT681K are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. CRCW0805681KFKEA is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Tape & Reel format is standard for automated assembly; Cut Tape format is suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly processes. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original RC2012F6813CS and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life and no moisture bake-out requirements prior to soldering.

Q: Which substitute part has the lowest seated height?

A: CRCW0805681KFKEA (Vishay Dale) has the lowest maximum seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), compared to 0.026" (0.66mm) for the original part. This may be advantageous in space-constrained PCB designs. ERJ-6ENF6813V (Panasonic) has the highest seated height at 0.028" (0.70mm).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original RC2012F6813CS.

Q: Can AEC-Q200 qualified parts be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 certification represents an enhanced qualification level and does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. Parts qualified to automotive standards are fully compatible with general-purpose applications and provide additional reliability assurance.
