Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F154CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 150 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power ratings (0.75W or greater)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel acceptable as alternative to standard packaging
• Additional certifications: Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification permitted as enhancement

The identified substitute parts RC2010FK-07150KL (YAGEO) and CRCW2010150KFKEF (Vishay Dale) meet all mandatory parameters while offering increased power dissipation capability (0.75W) and enhanced certifications in the case of the Vishay Dale variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-07150KL (YAGEO RC_L Series)

This substitute provides direct functional equivalence with increased power dissipation margin (0.75W versus 0.667W). The YAGEO part maintains identical electrical specifications, temperature performance, and environmental compliance. Selection of this variant is appropriate for applications requiring enhanced thermal headroom or where higher power dissipation margins are specified in design requirements. Tape & Reel packaging format supports automated assembly processes.

CRCW2010150KFKEF (Vishay Dale CRCW Series)

This substitute offers equivalent electrical and thermal performance with the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The Vishay Dale component is suitable for automotive applications, industrial environments requiring enhanced reliability certifications, or designs where automotive-grade component specifications are mandated. The marginally increased seated height (0.028" versus 0.026") remains within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 2010 package format. Tape & Reel packaging supports high-volume production environments.

Both substitute parts maintain full compatibility with the original RC5025F154CS across all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters while offering enhanced power ratings and, in the case of the Vishay Dale variant, automotive-grade certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07150KL or CRCW2010150KFKEF be used as direct replacements for RC5025F154CS?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible. They share identical resistance values (150 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package format (2010 / 5025 Metric), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The substitute parts provide equal or higher power ratings (0.75W) compared to the original specification (0.667W).

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RC2010FK-07150KL (YAGEO) and CRCW2010150KFKEF (Vishay Dale) are functionally equivalent. The primary distinction is that CRCW2010150KFKEF carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Both parts are available in Tape & Reel packaging and offer 0.75W power ratings.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences that affect PCB assembly?

A: Seated heights differ slightly: RC5025F154CS (0.66mm), RC2010FK-07150KL (0.65mm), and CRCW2010150KFKEF (0.70mm). These variations remain within standard 2010 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility. Length and width dimensions are identical across all three parts (5.00mm x 2.50mm).

Q: Do all three parts meet RoHS3 and REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. RC5025F154CS, RC2010FK-07150KL, and CRCW2010150KFKEF are all RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: Both RC2010FK-07150KL and CRCW2010150KFKEF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly. The original RC5025F154CS is available in standard packaging format.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW2010150KFKEF (Vishay Dale) is the appropriate selection for automotive applications due to its AEC-Q200 qualification. This certification ensures compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards.

Q: Can the higher power rating of substitute parts cause issues in the original circuit design?

A: No. The substitute parts with 0.75W ratings are rated for equal or higher power dissipation than the original 0.667W specification. This provides additional thermal margin and does not introduce compatibility issues. The parts are functionally interchangeable in all applications where the original RC5025F154CS was specified.
