Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC2012F9760CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 976 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 & Packaging Requirements:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Moisture resistance: Required

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (mandatory)
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) (mandatory)
• REACH Unaffected status (mandatory)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC2012F9760CS in standard PCB assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Preferred for General Applications):

RC0805FR-07976RL (YAGEO) is the primary direct equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and moisture resistance characteristics. The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances and represents the most compact profile among available substitutes.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives:

CRCW0805976RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF9760V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT976R (Stackpole) are all qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability certification. The CRCW0805976RFKEA offers the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), while ERJ-6ENF9760V has the highest at 0.028" (0.70mm). All three maintain full electrical equivalence with the RC2012F9760CS.

Selection Criteria:

All substitute parts carry Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Component selection should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and application-specific certifications. Seated height variations are negligible for standard PCB assembly processes and do not affect electrical performance or thermal characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC0805FR-07976RL be used as a direct replacement for RC2012F9760CS?

A: Yes. RC0805FR-07976RL is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance value (976 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). Both are RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RC2012F9760CS and the automotive-qualified substitutes?

A: The Samsung RC2012F9760CS is specified as moisture resistant for general industrial use. The CRCW0805976RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF9760V, and RMCF0805FT976R are additionally qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. All parts are electrically identical and mechanically compatible. Automotive qualification provides additional reliability testing and traceability for applications requiring such certification.

Q: Are there any height clearance concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Seated height variations range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm) across all substitutes. These differences are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not create clearance issues in typical circuit board designs. Height selection should be verified against specific PCB layout constraints if space is critical.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes, including RC0805FR-07976RL, CRCW0805976RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF9760V, and RMCF0805FT976R, carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, identical to the RC2012F9760CS. This indicates unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF9760V (Panasonic) has the highest documented inventory at 53,750 pieces. RC0805FR-07976RL (YAGEO) follows with 49,739 pieces. RMCF0805FT976R (Stackpole) has 35,178 pieces, and CRCW0805976RFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 24,074 pieces. Availability should be confirmed with current supplier inventory at time of procurement.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts, including the RC2012F9760CS and all substitutes, are rated for operating temperatures from -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. This specification applies uniformly across all equivalent parts.
