RC5025F224CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F224CS is a 220 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 with moisture-resistant construction and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical compatibility (package format, physical dimensions, termination count). Substitute parts in this reference maintain identical or superior power ratings while preserving core functional parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F224CS is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 220 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (minimum requirement)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts with equal or higher power ratings (0.667W or greater) are functionally compatible. All identified substitutes feature 0.75W (3/4W) power ratings, which exceed the original specification and provide enhanced thermal margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (RC2010FK-07220KL, CRCW2010220KFKEF, RMCF2010FT220K) satisfy the core electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for direct substitution with the RC5025F224CS.

RC2010FK-07220KL (YAGEO): This part provides a direct upgrade path with increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) while maintaining identical electrical specifications and package format. The part carries Active product status and RoHS3 compliance. This option is suitable for general industrial applications requiring standard thick film resistor performance.

CRCW2010220KFKEF (Vishay Dale): This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to the base electrical and mechanical compatibility. The 0.75W power rating provides thermal margin above the original specification. This option is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

RMCF2010FT220K (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and offers the highest inventory availability among the substitutes. The 0.75W power rating and identical package format ensure mechanical and thermal compatibility. This option is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification with extended supply assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07220KL replace RC5025F224CS in any application?

A: Yes. RC2010FK-07220KL matches all mandatory electrical parameters (220 kOhms, ±1% tolerance, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical specifications (2010 package, identical physical dimensions, 2 terminations). The higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) provides additional thermal capacity without affecting circuit function.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Vishay Dale substitutes?

A: Both parts match the core electrical and mechanical specifications. CRCW2010220KFKEF includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, while RC2010FK-07220KL does not carry this certification. Selection depends on whether automotive-grade qualification is required for the application.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: The length and width dimensions are identical (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) across all parts. Maximum seated heights vary slightly: RC5025F224CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), while the three substitutes range from 0.026" to 0.028" (0.65mm to 0.70mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Why do the substitute parts have higher power ratings?

A: The substitute parts are rated for 0.75W (3/4W) compared to the original 0.667W (2/3W). This represents a standard upgrade within the 2010 package format and provides enhanced thermal performance. The higher rating does not change electrical behavior in circuits designed for the original 0.667W specification.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC5025F224CS and all three substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification. All parts also maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW2010220KFKEF and RMCF2010FT220K both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RMCF2010FT220K offers higher inventory availability. Selection between these two depends on supplier preference and lead time requirements.
