Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC2012J6R2CS is permissible when the following criteria are satisfied:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 6.2 Ohms
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W) minimum
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C or better
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C or wider

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Regulatory & Compliance (Must Match):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

Tolerance Specification: Tolerance may be tighter (lower value) than the original ±5% specification. Tighter tolerance substitutes provide improved accuracy without compromising circuit functionality.

Packaging Format: Packaging may differ (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) without affecting electrical or mechanical performance, provided the component itself remains unchanged.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2012F6R2CS as Direct Substitute:

The RC2012F6R2CS qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC2012J6R2CS based on the following:

• Both parts maintain identical resistance value (6.2 Ohms) and power rating (0.125W)
• Both are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the same 0805 package
• Both meet RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status
• Both feature identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and temperature coefficient (±300ppm/°C)
• Both maintain Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

The RC2012F6R2CS provides tighter tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%), which represents an upgrade in accuracy without introducing incompatibility. The difference in packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel) does not affect component performance or mechanical fit.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements, packaging format availability, and tolerance specifications needed for the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2012F6R2CS replace RC2012J6R2CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RC2012F6R2CS is electrically and mechanically compatible. Both parts share identical resistance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating specifications. The tighter tolerance of RC2012F6R2CS (±1%) does not create incompatibility with circuits designed for ±5% tolerance.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, suitable for lower-volume or manual assembly. Both formats contain identical components; the difference is in delivery and handling format only.

Q: Are there tolerance considerations when substituting with RC2012F6R2CS?

A: The RC2012F6R2CS features ±1% tolerance compared to the original ±5%. Tighter tolerance improves circuit accuracy and does not create functional issues in applications designed for the original tolerance. Circuits requiring specific tolerance ranges should verify compatibility with the tighter specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both RC2012J6R2CS and RC2012F6R2CS are RoHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) codes.

Q: What are the physical dimensions of the 0805 package?

A: The 0805 (2012 Metric) package measures 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65-0.66mm). Both substitute parts maintain these identical dimensions.
