Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F132CS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution logic requires:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.3 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (precision grade equivalence)
• Package: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (manufacturing technology consistency)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (stability characteristics)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (environmental envelope)
• Moisture Resistance: Required feature
• RoHS3 Compliance: Regulatory requirement

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power dissipation capacity (0.667W or greater)
• Packaging Format: Original packaging (-) may differ from substitute packaging (Tape & Reel)
• Manufacturer: Different qualified manufacturers permitted
• Additional Certifications: Substitute parts may include additional qualifications (e.g., AEC-Q200 automotive rating)

The AC2010FK-071K3L from YAGEO qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all critical matching parameters while offering increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) and automotive-grade certification (AEC-Q200).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F132CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Primary selection for standard industrial and consumer applications
• Active product status with established supply chain
• RoHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating
• Suitable for general-purpose precision resistive circuits

AC2010FK-071K3L (YAGEO) - Substitute Option:

• Qualified substitute with identical electrical specifications
• Higher power rating (0.75W) provides thermal margin in power-dissipative applications
• AEC-Q200 automotive qualification enables use in automotive-grade designs
• Active product status with high inventory availability (8426 pcs)
• RoHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating
• Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes

Both parts maintain full regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99 classification) and identical electrical performance within the specified tolerance and temperature operating range. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements, packaging preference, and supply chain considerations rather than electrical or mechanical incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC2010FK-071K3L replace RC5025F132CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The AC2010FK-071K3L maintains identical resistance value (1.3 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package footprint (2010/5025 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) is compatible with applications designed for the RC5025F132CS. Physical dimensions are equivalent with negligible height variation (0.65mm vs. 0.66mm).

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 certification on the YAGEO part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive-grade qualification standard. The AC2010FK-071K3L carries this certification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability and qualification testing. The RC5025F132CS does not list this certification. Both parts meet the same RoHS3 and MSL requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RC5025F132CS is listed with standard packaging (-), while the AC2010FK-071K3L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly. Both parts use identical 2010 (5025 Metric) component packages.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. Both RC5025F132CS and AC2010FK-071K3L carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both parts are moisture resistant thick film resistors suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, meaning resistance value changes by approximately 0.01% per degree Celsius across the operating range. This specification ensures predictable performance in precision circuits across the -55°C to 155°C operating envelope.

Q: Can I use the higher power rating of AC2010FK-071K3L without circuit modification?

A: Yes. A component with higher power rating (0.75W) is directly compatible with applications designed for lower power rating (0.667W). The higher rating provides additional thermal margin and does not require circuit changes. Power dissipation is determined by circuit current and resistance, not component rating.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC5025F132CS and AC2010FK-071K3L are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.
