RC5025F2213CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F2213CS is a 221 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.667W (2/3W) continuous power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained within the specified parameter tolerances. The primary substitute listed maintains identical resistance value, tolerance, package dimensions, and operating temperature range while offering increased power rating and automotive-grade qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F2213CS is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 221 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (substitute tolerance must not exceed this value)
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions (0.197" L × 0.098" W / 5.00mm × 2.50mm)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (substitute must cover this full range)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Power rating: Substitute may exceed 0.667W; higher ratings provide design margin
• Height seated maximum: Substitute height up to 0.028" (0.70mm) acceptable within standard PCB assembly tolerances
• Composition: Thick film maintained across all substitutes
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C maintained

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance mandatory
• MSL 1 (Unlimited) maintained
• REACH Unaffected status maintained

The RMCF2010FT221K meets all critical parameters while providing increased power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) and automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: RMCF2010FT221K

The RMCF2010FT221K qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC5025F2213CS based on the following engineering criteria:

1. Electrical Equivalence: Identical resistance (221 kOhms) and tolerance (±1%) ensure circuit performance parity. Temperature coefficient matching (±100ppm/°C) maintains stability across the operating range.

2. Mechanical Compatibility: Package format, footprint dimensions, and termination count are identical. The marginal height difference (0.028" vs 0.026") remains within standard PCB assembly clearance tolerances and does not affect board-level integration.

3. Power Margin: The substitute's 0.75W rating exceeds the 0.667W requirement, providing additional thermal headroom in the application circuit without introducing design risk.

4. Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating. The substitute adds AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

5. Product Status: Both components are classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Selection Basis: Substitution is supported by identical critical parameters (resistance, tolerance, package, temperature range) combined with equivalent or superior performance characteristics. No design modifications or circuit re-validation are required for this substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT221K be used as a direct replacement for the RC5025F2213CS without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm × 2.50mm). The height difference (0.70mm vs 0.66mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not require layout changes.

Q: Does the higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) of the substitute create any compatibility issues?

A: No. A higher power rating indicates greater thermal capacity and does not negatively affect circuit operation. The substitute will perform identically to the original part under the same electrical load conditions.

Q: Are the resistance and tolerance values identical between the main part and substitute?

A: Yes. Both parts are specified as 221 kOhms ±1%. This ensures equivalent circuit performance and measurement accuracy.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the substitute part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. The substitute meets this additional qualification, but this does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications. It indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance.

Q: Do both parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F2213CS and RMCF2010FT221K operate across -55°C to 155°C, ensuring equivalent performance across all environmental conditions.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity or handling requirements?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and storage/handling requirements.

Q: Can the substitute be used in applications requiring ROHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. The RMCF2010FT221K is ROHS3 compliant, matching the original part's regulatory status.

Q: Is the temperature coefficient the same for both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent drift characteristics across the operating temperature range.
