Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F8R2CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.2 Ohms (exact)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact)

Mandatory Mechanical Parameters:

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

Mandatory Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (exact)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or exceeding)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent (exact or better)

Acceptable Variations:

• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C (main part) to ±200ppm/°C (substitutes) represents improved performance
• Packaging format: Cut Tape (CT) to Tape & Reel (TR) represents different supply configuration
• Height seated maximum: 0.026" (0.65mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm) remains within PCB assembly tolerance

The identified substitute parts ERJ-6RQF8R2V and RMCF0805FT8R20 meet all mandatory parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC2012F8R2CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—RC2012F8R2CS, ERJ-6RQF8R2V, and RMCF0805FT8R20—are Active product status components with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), indicating no special handling or storage requirements.

RC2012F8R2CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): Primary selection when Samsung supply chain is preferred or when Cut Tape packaging format is required for specific assembly processes. Moisture resistant thick film composition supports general industrial applications.

ERJ-6RQF8R2V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade qualification. This part carries AEC-Q200 certification and current sense capability, with improved temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C versus ±300ppm/°C). Tape & Reel packaging supports high-volume automated assembly. Maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) requires verification against PCB design clearance specifications.

RMCF0805FT8R20 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade qualification. This part carries AEC-Q200 certification with improved temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C). Tape & Reel packaging supports high-volume automated assembly. Seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm) matches the main part specification.

Selection between substitute parts depends on supply availability, packaging requirements, and whether automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is mandated by application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-6RQF8R2V replace RC2012F8R2CS in any application?

A: ERJ-6RQF8R2V is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RC2012F8R2CS. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) and maximum seated height (0.028" versus 0.026"). Verify PCB assembly equipment compatibility with Tape & Reel format and confirm 0.028" height clearance on the PCB layout before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on the substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. ERJ-6RQF8R2V and RMCF0805FT8R20 carry this certification, indicating they meet automotive reliability and performance requirements. The RC2012F8R2CS does not list AEC-Q200 certification. Use AEC-Q200 qualified parts only when automotive specifications explicitly require this certification.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients different between these parts?

A: Yes. RC2012F8R2CS has a temperature coefficient of ±300ppm/°C, while ERJ-6RQF8R2V and RMCF0805FT8R20 have ±200ppm/°C. The lower temperature coefficient on the substitute parts represents improved stability across the operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). This is a performance improvement and does not prevent substitution.

Q: Does packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only supply chain logistics and assembly process compatibility. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical. Cut Tape (CT) is typically used for lower-volume or manual assembly processes, while Tape & Reel (TR) is standard for high-volume automated pick-and-place assembly.

Q: Can RMCF0805FT8R20 replace RC2012F8R2CS without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. RMCF0805FT8R20 has identical electrical specifications, package dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W), and seated height (0.026") as RC2012F8R2CS. No PCB layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

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

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These parts can be stored at room temperature and humidity without special desiccant packaging or shelf-life limitations. All three parts carry MSL 1 rating.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC2012F8R2CS, ERJ-6RQF8R2V, and RMCF0805FT8R20 are all ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance restrictions for electronic components.
