RC5025F106CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F106CS is a 10 MOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.667W (2/3W) in a 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is designed for applications requiring high-value resistive elements with tight tolerance specifications and moisture resistance in compact surface-mount form factors. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package size, termination count, physical dimensions) while maintaining compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F106CS are identified through strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 10 MOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power ratings than the main part (0.667W). Parts with higher power ratings (0.75W) remain functionally compatible as they provide equal or superior thermal performance within the same package footprint.

Regulatory & Compliance Criteria:

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

The two identified substitute parts meet all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-0710ML (YAGEO) - Upgrade Substitute: This part is functionally equivalent to the RC5025F106CS with an increased power rating of 0.75W compared to the original 0.667W specification. Both parts maintain identical electrical parameters (10 MOhms, ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, MSL 1). The higher power rating provides enhanced thermal margin without affecting circuit performance. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where component availability or supply chain requirements necessitate an alternative source.

CRCW201010M0FKEF (Vishay Dale) - Automotive-Qualified Substitute: This part meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements with the RC5025F106CS while providing automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200). The power rating is 0.75W, matching the YAGEO substitute. The seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to 0.026" (0.66mm) for the original part, representing a 0.04mm difference within typical PCB assembly tolerances. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification or where AEC-Q200 qualification is a design requirement.

Selection Basis: Both substitute parts are Active status products with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level. Selection between substitutes should be based on supply chain availability, packaging format requirements (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel), and application-specific certifications (automotive qualification for CRCW201010M0FKEF).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can RC2010FK-0710ML replace RC5025F106CS in any application?

A: Yes. The RC2010FK-0710ML is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC5025F106CS. Both parts have identical resistance (10 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The RC2010FK-0710ML has a higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which provides additional thermal capability without affecting circuit operation. Physical dimensions and package footprint are identical (2010, 5.00mm x 2.50mm).

Q2: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Vishay Dale substitutes?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the original RC5025F106CS. The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer source (YAGEO vs. Vishay Dale), (2) Packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel for YAGEO vs. Tape & Reel for Vishay), and (3) Automotive qualification (CRCW201010M0FKEF carries AEC-Q200 certification while RC2010FK-0710ML does not). Seated height varies slightly (0.65mm for YAGEO vs. 0.70mm for Vishay), a difference of 0.05mm that falls within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q3: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these parts?

A: No. All three parts (RC5025F106CS, RC2010FK-0710ML, and CRCW201010M0FKEF) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited). The CRCW201010M0FKEF additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which is a design enhancement rather than a compliance difference.

Q4: Can I use CRCW201010M0FKEF in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The CRCW201010M0FKEF is suitable for any application requiring a 10 MOhms ±1% resistor in a 2010 package. The AEC-Q200 qualification indicates automotive-grade reliability but does not restrict use in other applications. The part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for general-purpose use.

Q5: What is the impact of the 0.04mm height difference between substitutes?

A: The seated height difference (0.66mm for Samsung, 0.65mm for YAGEO, 0.70mm for Vishay) is negligible for PCB assembly. Standard surface-mount assembly processes accommodate component height variations within ±0.1mm. This difference does not affect circuit performance, PCB layout, or assembly compatibility.

Q6: Are these parts interchangeable at the PCB footprint level?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical physical dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) and two terminations. PCB footprints designed for the RC5025F106CS are directly compatible with RC2010FK-0710ML and CRCW201010M0FKEF without layout modifications.

Q7: Which substitute should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply chain and application requirements. For general-purpose applications, RC2010FK-0710ML (YAGEO) offers equivalent performance with higher availability. For automotive applications or designs requiring AEC-Q200 certification, CRCW201010M0FKEF (Vishay Dale) is the appropriate choice. Both parts are Active status with full regulatory compliance.
