RC5025F1692CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F1692CS is a 16.9 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated for 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in a 2010 (5025 Metric) surface mount package. This component is currently in active production status with moisture resistant properties and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F1692CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.9 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of Terminations: 2

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power rating (0.667W or greater)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 is acceptable
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations within 2010 package specification are acceptable

The ERJ-12SF1692U from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds the power rating specification (0.75W vs. 0.667W), making it a valid electrical and mechanical substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F1692CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Recommended for new designs requiring active production status and full RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture resistant thick film composition suitable for general industrial applications

ERJ-12SF1692U (Panasonic Electronic Components):

• Product Status: Not For New Designs
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS non-compliant
• Suitable for legacy system maintenance and field replacement only
• Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing enhanced reliability for automotive applications
• Higher power rating (0.75W) provides additional thermal margin in existing designs
• Not recommended for new product development due to discontinued status and RoHS non-compliance

Selection between these parts should be based on design phase (new vs. legacy), compliance requirements, and application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-12SF1692U be used as a direct replacement for RC5025F1692CS in new designs?

A: No. The ERJ-12SF1692U is marked "Not For New Designs" and is RoHS non-compliant. The RC5025F1692CS is the appropriate choice for new product development.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: The length and width are identical (5.00mm x 2.50mm). The seated height differs slightly (0.66mm vs. 0.70mm), which is within acceptable tolerance for 2010 package specifications and does not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating on the ERJ-12SF1692U?

A: The ERJ-12SF1692U is rated for 0.75W compared to the RC5025F1692CS at 0.667W. In applications where the RC5025F1692CS is operating near its power limit, the ERJ-12SF1692U provides additional thermal headroom. However, this does not justify substitution in new designs due to compliance and status considerations.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the -55°C to 155°C operating range?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified for identical operating temperature ranges of -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent thermal performance.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. Both parts can be stored indefinitely without moisture bake-out requirements prior to soldering, simplifying supply chain and assembly processes.

Q: Can the ERJ-12SF1692U be used in automotive applications where RC5025F1692CS is specified?

A: The ERJ-12SF1692U carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which the RC5025F1692CS does not explicitly list. However, substitution decisions must account for the ERJ-12SF1692U's "Not For New Designs" status and RoHS non-compliance, which may violate automotive supply chain requirements.
