Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F222CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Primary Substitution Criteria (Mandatory Match):

• Resistance value: 2.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Substitution Criteria (Allowable Variation):

• Power Rating: Minimum 0.667W; higher ratings (0.75W) are acceptable as they provide equal or superior thermal performance
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted provided all electrical and mechanical parameters align
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) acceptable as alternative to standard packaging

Identified Substitute Parts:

1. RC2010FK-072K2L (YAGEO): Upgrade substitute with 0.75W power rating, identical electrical specifications, and active product status.

2. CRCW20102K20FKEF (Vishay Dale): Similar substitute with 0.75W power rating, automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, and identical electrical specifications.

Both substitutes meet all mandatory criteria and exceed the minimum power requirement, providing enhanced thermal margin for the application.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F222CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) - Primary Selection

Use the original Samsung part when supply is available. This component is the specified design reference with 807 units in stock. All electrical and mechanical parameters are established for the application.

RC2010FK-072K2L (YAGEO) - Upgrade Substitute

Select this part when Samsung supply is constrained. The YAGEO RC2010FK-072K2L provides identical electrical performance with increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), offering enhanced thermal margin. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1) are maintained. Inventory availability is 3980 units. Physical dimensions and package compatibility are equivalent.

CRCW20102K20FKEF (Vishay Dale) - Automotive-Qualified Substitute

Select this part for applications requiring automotive-grade components or when YAGEO supply is unavailable. The Vishay Dale CRCW20102K20FKEF carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with 0.75W power rating. All electrical specifications and compliance requirements match the original design. Inventory availability is 3950 units. Maximum seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm), within acceptable tolerance for 2010 package specifications.

All three parts are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility across supply chain alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can RC2010FK-072K2L and CRCW20102K20FKEF be used interchangeably with RC5025F222CS?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters: 2.2 kOhms ±1% resistance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range, 2010 (5025 Metric) package, thick film composition, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) in both substitutes provides additional thermal performance margin.

Q2: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RC2010FK-072K2L (YAGEO) is a general-purpose thick film resistor. CRCW20102K20FKEF (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Both have identical electrical specifications and 0.75W power rating. Selection depends on application requirements and supply availability.

Q3: Are there physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Physical dimensions are equivalent across all three parts: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm). Maximum seated heights vary slightly (0.66mm to 0.70mm), all within 2010 package specification tolerance. PCB footprints and reflow profiles are compatible.

Q4: Do all three parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Compliance certifications are equivalent across Samsung, YAGEO, and Vishay Dale versions.

Q5: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, either RC2010FK-072K2L or CRCW20102K20FKEF is acceptable. CRCW20102K20FKEF is preferred if automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) is required. RC2010FK-072K2L is preferred for general industrial applications. Both provide superior thermal performance compared to the original specification.

Q6: Is the higher power rating (0.75W) a concern for the application?

A: No. Higher power rating indicates greater thermal capacity and is not a limitation. The component will operate within the same temperature range and electrical specifications. This provides design margin for thermal performance.

Q7: What is the temperature coefficient significance?

A: All three parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent resistance stability across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. No performance variation is introduced through substitution.
