Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F153CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 15 kOhms (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:

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

Environmental & Compliance:

• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (minimum requirement)

Substitute parts identified in this reference meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. Power rating variations (0.75W vs. 0.667W) represent upgrades that maintain compatibility while providing enhanced thermal performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RC5025F153CS. Selection criteria are based on product status, compliance certifications, and availability:

RC2010FK-0715KL (YAGEO): This substitute provides a 0.75W power rating upgrade while maintaining identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. YAGEO RC_L series is Active status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. This part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where thermal margin enhancement is beneficial.

CRCW201015K0FKEF (Vishay Dale): This substitute provides a 0.75W power rating upgrade and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. CRCW series is Active status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and thermal performance enhancement.

RMCF2010FT15K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This substitute provides a 0.75W power rating upgrade and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RMCF series is Active status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and thermal performance enhancement.

All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and maintain the same operating temperature range and moisture sensitivity classification as the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0715KL replace RC5025F153CS directly?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (15 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package (2010 / 5025 Metric), and physical dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W). The RC2010FK-0715KL provides a higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which represents a thermal performance upgrade with no functional impact on circuit operation.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RC5025F153CS and the Vishay CRCW201015K0FKEF?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical in resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature, and package specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer identity and automotive qualification. CRCW201015K0FKEF includes AEC-Q200 automotive rating and provides a 0.75W power rating compared to the 0.667W rating of RC5025F153CS. Height-seated maximum is 0.028" (0.70mm) for CRCW201015K0FKEF versus 0.026" (0.66mm) for RC5025F153CS.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: CRCW201015K0FKEF and RMCF2010FT15K0 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC2010FK-0715KL does not specify automotive qualification. Selection depends on application requirements.

Q: What does the 2010 package designation mean?

A: 2010 is the imperial package designation (0.197" L x 0.098" W). The metric equivalent is 5025 (5.00mm x 2.50mm). All listed parts use this identical package format.

Q: Can I use a 0.75W rated resistor in place of a 0.667W rated resistor?

A: Yes. A higher power rating provides greater thermal capacity and represents a conservative design choice. The 0.75W rated substitutes (RC2010FK-0715KL, CRCW201015K0FKEF, RMCF2010FT15K0) can replace the 0.667W RC5025F153CS without functional impact.

Q: Are all listed parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC5025F153CS, RC2010FK-0715KL, CRCW201015K0FKEF, and RMCF2010FT15K0 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level, meaning the component has unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions without requiring special moisture control measures. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating.
