Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC2012F7683CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (768 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match or exceed the original specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type must be 0805 (2012 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Number of terminations must be 2.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required. REACH unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is the specified composition type.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are classified as direct equivalents suitable for one-to-one replacement in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four parts listed—RC2012F7683CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), RC0805FR-07768KL (YAGEO), CRCW0805768KFKEA (Vishay Dale), and ERJ-6ENF7683V (Panasonic Electronic Components)—are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Each part meets the electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

The RC0805FR-07768KL offers the lowest seated height at 0.024" (0.60mm), which may be advantageous in space-constrained applications. The CRCW0805768KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs. The ERJ-6ENF7683V also carries AEC-Q200 qualification and maintains the highest seated height at 0.028" (0.70mm). The original RC2012F7683CS features moisture-resistant construction and is available with 810 pieces in stock.

Selection among these parts should be based on availability, lead time, cost considerations, and specific application requirements such as automotive qualification needs or height constraints in PCB assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07768KL be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F7683CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (768 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), use thick film composition, and are packaged in 0805 (2012 Metric) format. The seated height difference (0.024" vs 0.026") is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung and YAGEO versions?

A: The RC2012F7683CS (Samsung) and RC0805FR-07768KL (YAGEO) are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary differences are manufacturer, series designation (RC vs RC_L), and seated height (0.026" vs 0.024"). Both are active production parts with identical compliance certifications.

Q: Are the Vishay Dale and Panasonic parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both CRCW0805768KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-6ENF7683V (Panasonic) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, making them suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs. The Samsung and YAGEO parts do not list AEC-Q200 qualification.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these resistors?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. These parts can be stored indefinitely without moisture bake-out requirements prior to soldering, simplifying inventory management and assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts—RC2012F7683CS, RC0805FR-07768KL, CRCW0805768KFKEA, and ERJ-6ENF7683V—are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance across thermal extremes.

Q: What is the significance of the 0805 (2012 Metric) package designation?

A: The 0805 designation refers to the imperial dimensions (0.080" x 0.050"), while 2012 Metric refers to the metric equivalent (2.00mm x 1.25mm). All substitute parts use this identical package footprint, ensuring PCB compatibility without layout modifications.
