Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F1023CS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic is based on the following criteria:

Primary Matching Criteria:

  • Resistance value: 102 kOhms (exact match required)
  • Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
  • Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required for PCB footprint compatibility)
  • Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
  • Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
  • Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (substitute must support this range)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

  • Power rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 0.667W
  • RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
  • Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better (handling compatibility)

The RMCF2010FT102K from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all primary matching criteria while providing a higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which is acceptable for substitution purposes.
