Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC2012F685CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Core Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 6.8 MOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these core parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (Height - Seated) and specific application features (Moisture Resistant, Automotive AEC-Q200, High Voltage) do not disqualify substitution when core electrical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and full compliance with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection among equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

RC0805FR-076M8L (YAGEO): This direct equivalent offers the highest inventory availability at 14,180 pieces. The part maintains identical electrical specifications with a seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm), which is lower than the primary part. This substitute is suitable for applications where standard moisture-resistant thick film performance is required.

CRCW08056M80FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute incorporates Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications. The seated height is 0.020" (0.50mm) with 21,543 pieces in inventory. The AEC-Q200 rating provides additional qualification for automotive environments.

RCV08056M80FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute is specified for high-voltage applications with a seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm) and 25,917 pieces in inventory. The High Voltage feature designation indicates suitability for circuits requiring enhanced voltage performance characteristics.

All substitutes are electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC2012F685CS when core parameter requirements are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-076M8L replace RC2012F685CS in all applications?

A: RC0805FR-076M8L meets all core electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. The 0.002" (0.06mm) difference in seated height is within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW08056M80FKEA and RCV08056M80FKEA?

A: Both parts share identical electrical specifications (6.8 MOhms, ±1%, 0.125W, 0805 package). CRCW08056M80FKEA includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, while RCV08056M80FKEA is designated for High Voltage applications. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the primary RC2012F685CS component.

Q: Does the difference in seated height affect PCB assembly?

A: The RC2012F685CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while substitute parts range from 0.020" to 0.024" (0.50mm to 0.60mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly specifications and do not require design modifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RCV08056M80FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers the highest inventory with 25,917 pieces in stock, followed by CRCW08056M80FKEA with 21,543 pieces and RC0805FR-076M8L with 14,180 pieces.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are pin-compatible with identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package specifications and two terminations. PCB footprints designed for RC2012F685CS accommodate all listed substitutes without modification.
