Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC0805FR-07787KL (YAGEO) functions as a direct equivalent substitute. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances relative to the original 0.026" (0.66mm). YAGEO RC_L series components carry Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

CRCW0805787KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-6ENF7873V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provide substitution with automotive-grade qualification. Both parts satisfy all core electrical and mechanical requirements while adding AEC-Q200 certification. The CRCW series exhibits the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), while the ERJ-6EN series reaches 0.028" (0.70mm). These dimensional variations remain within standard PCB assembly specifications. Selection between these automotive-qualified alternatives depends on application requirements and supply chain considerations.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and unlimited moisture sensitivity level, ensuring regulatory and environmental compliance equivalent to the original RC2012F7873CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07787KL replace RC2012F7873CS in all applications?

A: RC0805FR-07787KL provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence. Both parts share identical resistance (787 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The 0.002" (0.06mm) difference in seated height falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and automotive AEC-Q200 variants?

A: The original RC2012F7873CS features moisture resistance as its primary environmental specification. CRCW0805787KFKEA and ERJ-6ENF7873V add automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which encompasses enhanced reliability testing and performance validation for automotive applications. All three parts maintain identical electrical specifications and unlimited MSL rating (1). Selection depends on whether automotive-grade qualification is required for the application.

Q: Are there dimensional constraints when substituting these parts?

A: All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049"). Seated heights vary: RC2012F7873CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), RC0805FR-07787KL at 0.024" (0.60mm), CRCW0805787KFKEA at 0.020" (0.50mm), and ERJ-6ENF7873V at 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations remain within standard PCB assembly specifications and do not affect component placement or soldering processes.

Q: Do all substitute parts maintain the same compliance certifications?

A: All four parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control. All maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). CRCW0805787KFKEA and ERJ-6ENF7873V add AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Regulatory and environmental compliance remains consistent across all options.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: RC2012F7873CS (Samsung) has 1,023 pieces in stock. RC0805FR-07787KL (YAGEO) has 17,844 pieces available. CRCW0805787KFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 15,585 pieces in stock.
