Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the RC2012F97R6CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (97.6 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package format (0805 / 2012 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99).

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Substitute parts are further categorized by additional features: moisture-resistant construction (baseline requirement) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification (available in select alternatives). Physical dimensions remain within acceptable tolerances across all substitutes, with seated height variations ranging from 0.020" to 0.028".

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Selection between RC2012F97R6CS and its equivalents is based on availability and application-specific requirements:

For general-purpose applications without automotive qualification requirements, RC0805FR-0797R6L (YAGEO) provides moisture-resistant construction matching the original specification with compact seated height of 0.024".

For applications requiring automotive-grade components, three AEC-Q200 qualified alternatives are available: ERJ-6ENF97R6V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FT97R6 (Stackpole), and CRCW080597R6FKEA (Vishay Dale). CRCW080597R6FKEA offers the lowest seated height at 0.020" with highest inventory availability at 28,036 pieces.

All parts share identical electrical specifications and operate within the same temperature range, ensuring functional interchangeability within the 0805 package footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-6ENF97R6V replace RC2012F97R6CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERJ-6ENF97R6V meets all electrical and mechanical parameters of RC2012F97R6CS. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in general-purpose circuits. The 0.028" seated height remains within standard 0805 package tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and AEC-Q200 qualified parts?

A: Moisture-resistant construction (RC2012F97R6CS, RC0805FR-0797R6L) addresses environmental protection. AEC-Q200 qualification (ERJ-6ENF97R6V, RMCF0805FT97R6, CRCW080597R6FKEA) indicates automotive-grade reliability testing and is a superset of standard specifications. Both feature sets are compatible with the 0805 package and identical electrical parameters.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for high-density PCB layouts?

A: Physical dimensions are equivalent across all parts. Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") fall within standard 0805 package specifications. CRCW080597R6FKEA offers the lowest profile at 0.020" for space-constrained designs.

Q: Do substitute parts require different soldering profiles?

A: All parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package format with 2 terminations and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity. Standard SMD soldering processes apply uniformly across all listed equivalents.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF97R6V (Panasonic) provides 38,662 pieces in stock, followed by CRCW080597R6FKEA (Vishay Dale) with 28,036 pieces. Both exceed the original RC2012F97R6CS inventory of 979 pieces.
