Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-071K8L (YAGEO) – Upgrade Substitute

The RC2010FK-071K8L is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute with an increased power rating of 0.75W compared to the original 0.667W specification. This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The 2010 package footprint, physical dimensions, and termination configuration are compatible with the RC5025F182CS. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level, and REACH unaffected status. The RC2010FK-071K8L is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation margins or where inventory from alternative suppliers is preferred.

CRCW20101K80FKEF (Vishay Dale) – Upgrade Substitute with Automotive Qualification

The CRCW20101K80FKEF is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute with an increased power rating of 0.75W and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The 2010 package footprint and physical dimensions are compatible with the RC5025F182CS. The maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) is marginally higher than the original 0.026" (0.66mm) but remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level, and REACH unaffected status. The CRCW20101K80FKEF is specified for applications requiring automotive-grade components or enhanced reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RC2010FK-071K8L or CRCW20101K80FKEF be used as direct replacements for the RC5025F182CS?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain the same resistance value (1.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and 2010 package footprint. The increased power ratings (0.75W versus 0.667W) represent an upgrade that does not compromise compatibility.

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

A: The RC2010FK-071K8L (YAGEO) is a standard thick film resistor with increased power rating. The CRCW20101K80FKEF (Vishay Dale) offers the same electrical and mechanical specifications but includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability and qualification standards.

Q: Are there any height differences that could affect PCB assembly?

A: The RC5025F182CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). The RC2010FK-071K8L matches this at 0.026" (0.65mm). The CRCW20101K80FKEF has a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm), which is 0.002" higher. This difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not typically affect placement or soldering operations.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The RC5025F182CS, RC2010FK-071K8L, and CRCW20101K80FKEF are all ROHS3 compliant, carry moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), and have REACH unaffected status. All three parts are suitable for applications with equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

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

A: The RC2010FK-071K8L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The CRCW20101K80FKEF is also supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The original RC5025F182CS is supplied in standard packaging. Tape & Reel format is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly operations.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit?

A: Yes, provided the circuit design accommodates the increased power rating. The electrical characteristics (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature) are identical across all three parts. The 2010 package footprint and physical dimensions ensure mechanical compatibility on the same PCB layout.
