Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F7680CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 768 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

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

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent substitution but indicate suitability for automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RC2012F7680CS and are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring a 768 Ohm ±1% 1/8W 0805 thick film chip resistor.

RC0805FR-07768RL (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with standard moisture-resistant thick film composition. Inventory availability is high (133,286 pieces). Seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm), which is lower than the main part. Suitable for general industrial applications.

CRCW0805768RFKEA (Vishay Dale): Equivalent part with Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Seated height is 0.020" (0.50mm), the lowest among all options. Suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications where AEC-Q200 compliance is required or preferred.

ERJ-6ENF7680V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Equivalent part with Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm), the highest among all options. Inventory availability is 66,054 pieces. Suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance.

RMCF0805FT768R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Equivalent part with Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Seated height is 0.026" (0.65mm). Inventory availability is lower (8,403 pieces). Suitable for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance.

All parts maintain identical electrical performance and operating temperature specifications. Selection among substitutes should be based on availability, seated height constraints in specific PCB designs, and application-specific compliance requirements (automotive vs. general industrial).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07768RL replace RC2012F7680CS directly?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-07768RL is a direct equivalent. Both parts have identical resistance (768 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), package type (0805), and compliance ratings (RoHS3, MSL 1). The only difference is seated height: 0.024" (0.60mm) versus 0.026" (0.66mm). This difference is within typical PCB design tolerances and does not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the difference between standard and AEC-Q200 qualified parts?

A: CRCW0805768RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF7680V, and RMCF0805FT768R carry Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. The RC2012F7680CS and RC0805FR-07768RL do not list this qualification. AEC-Q200 qualified parts are suitable for automotive applications; non-qualified parts are suitable for general industrial applications. All parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Q: Are there any height restrictions when substituting these parts?

A: Seated height varies among substitutes: RC2012F7680CS (0.66mm), RC0805FR-07768RL (0.60mm), CRCW0805768RFKEA (0.50mm), ERJ-6ENF7680V (0.70mm), RMCF0805FT768R (0.65mm). If PCB design includes height constraints (such as under-component clearance requirements), verify that the substitute part's seated height is compatible with the application. All parts are within the 0805 package specification range.

Q: Can I use an AEC-Q200 qualified part in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification represents enhanced reliability and quality standards. Using an AEC-Q200 qualified part in a non-automotive application does not create compatibility issues; it provides equivalent or superior performance. Selection should be based on availability and cost considerations.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity limitations. These parts do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly. All identified substitute parts carry MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (RC0805FR-07768RL, CRCW0805768RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF7680V, RMCF0805FT768R) are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RC2012F7680CS. These parts are suitable for applications requiring environmental compliance.
