Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F820CS is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 82 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Power Rating: 0.125W (1/8W) is standard; higher ratings (0.5W / 1/2W) are acceptable for applications requiring additional power dissipation capability
• Packaging Format: Cut Tape (CT), Tape & Reel (TR), and Digi-Reel® are interchangeable based on manufacturing process requirements
• Features: Additional certifications such as Automotive AEC-Q200, Moisture Resistant, Anti-Sulfur, or Pulse Withstanding do not disqualify a part from substitution
• Height - Seated (Max): Variations within 0.020" to 0.028" (0.50mm to 0.70mm) are acceptable for standard PCB assembly processes

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: Direct Substitutes (identical specifications) and Similar Substitutes (enhanced features or higher power ratings).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a 0.5W (1/2W) rated resistor for the 0.125W (1/8W) RC2012F820CS?

A: Yes. A higher power rating is acceptable for direct substitution. The 0.5W parts (CRCW080582R0FKEAHP and ERJ-UP6F82R0V) meet all critical electrical parameters and maintain the same 0805 package footprint. This substitution is suitable when applications require additional thermal margin or pulse withstanding capability.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape packaging supplies components in individual strips suitable for manual assembly or small-batch production. Tape & Reel packaging supplies components on continuous reels optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components; selection depends on manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are AEC-Q200 qualified parts compatible with non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality standards. Parts meeting AEC-Q200 (ERJ-6ENF82R0V, KTR10EZPF82R0, RMCF0805FT82R0, AC0805FR-0782RL, CRCW080582R0FKEAHP, ERJ-UP6F82R0V) are fully compatible with standard industrial and consumer applications and provide additional reliability margin.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures.

Q: Can I use CRCW080582R0FKEA in place of RC2012F820CS without PCB layout changes?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W). The maximum seated height difference (0.026" for RC2012F820CS versus 0.020" for CRCW080582R0FKEA) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not require layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF82R0V (Panasonic Electronic Components) has the highest inventory with 261446 pieces in stock.

Q: Is the RC2012F820CS still in active production?

A: Yes. The RC2012F820CS maintains Active product status with 1142 pieces currently in stock. However, maintaining multiple qualified substitute sources ensures supply chain continuity.
