RC5025F2214CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F2214CS is a 2.21 MOhms ±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). Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory optimization, and maintain design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC5025F2214CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.21 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating: The substitute part may have equal or higher power rating than the original specification (0.667W minimum)
• Physical dimensions: Slight variations in height are acceptable within the 2010 package specification

The CRCW20102M21FKTF from Vishay Dale meets all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds the power rating specification at 0.75W (3/4W), making it a valid electrical and mechanical substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F2214CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected
• Moisture Resistant feature specified
• Recommended for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

CRCW20102M21FKTF (Vishay Dale):

• Product Status: Active
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS non-compliant
• REACH Status: REACH Affected
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rated
• Higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin
• Recommended for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification where RoHS3 compliance is not mandatory

Selection between these parts should be based on specific application requirements regarding regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH) and industry certifications (AEC-Q200).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW20102M21FKTF replace RC5025F2214CS in all applications?

A: Electrical substitution is valid for applications where the higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) and different compliance profiles do not create constraints. Verify that your application does not require ROHS3 compliance or REACH unaffected status, as the Vishay part does not meet these specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference between these parts?

A: The CRCW20102M21FKTF is rated at 0.75W compared to the RC5025F2214CS at 0.667W. This higher rating provides additional thermal headroom and does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for the lower-rated part, as the substitute can safely handle the same or greater power dissipation.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Both parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical length and width (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm). The seated height differs slightly: RC5025F2214CS at 0.026" (0.66mm) and CRCW20102M21FKTF at 0.028" (0.70mm). This 0.002" (0.04mm) difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: RC5025F2214CS is supplied in standard packaging format. CRCW20102M21FKTF is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Q: How do the compliance certifications differ?

A: RC5025F2214CS is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. CRCW20102M21FKTF is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. Applications subject to ROHS3 or REACH regulations must use the Samsung part or verify alternative compliant substitutes.

Q: Is AEC-Q200 qualification relevant for my application?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. The CRCW20102M21FKTF carries this certification, making it suitable for automotive applications. If your application is automotive-grade, this qualification may be beneficial or required depending on your specific design standards.
