RC5025F2260CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F2260CS is a 226 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated for 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in a 2010 (5025 Metric) surface mount package. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture resistant characteristics and ROHS3 compliance.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package footprint and performance envelope. The following parts satisfy substitution criteria based on matching resistance value, tolerance, package dimensions, and operating temperature range.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 226 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package footprint: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating: Substitute parts rated at 0.75W (3/4W) or higher are acceptable as they provide equal or greater power dissipation capability within the same package envelope.
• Product status: Active or Not For New Designs status does not preclude substitution when electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.
• Certifications: Additional automotive qualifications (AEC-Q200) do not prevent substitution in non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

ERJ-12SF2260U (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute part meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The 0.75W power rating provides increased thermal margin compared to the 0.667W main part. Product status is listed as Not For New Designs; however, this designation does not affect electrical compatibility or performance in existing designs. The part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for production volume applications.

RMCF2010FT226R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This substitute part maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical 226 Ohm resistance, ±1% tolerance, and 2010 package footprint. The 0.75W power rating exceeds the main part specification. Product status is Active, indicating current manufacturing support. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is included. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes.

Both substitute parts are compatible with the RC5025F2260CS in applications where the 2010 package footprint and electrical specifications are required. Selection between substitutes should be based on supply chain availability, packaging requirements, and manufacturing process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-12SF2260U replace RC5025F2260CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The ERJ-12SF2260U maintains identical resistance value (226 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), package footprint (2010 / 5025 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) provides additional thermal capability. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 moisture sensitivity.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.667W and 0.75W power ratings?

A: The 0.75W rating on substitute parts indicates higher power dissipation capability within the same 2010 package dimensions. This provides thermal margin and does not affect electrical performance in circuits designed for the 0.667W specification. The substitute parts will operate at lower junction temperatures under identical load conditions.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns between the main part and substitutes?

A: No. All three parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm). Maximum seated height varies slightly (0.026" for RC5025F2260CS vs 0.028" for substitutes), which remains within standard PCB assembly clearance specifications and does not affect placement or soldering.

Q: Does the "Not For New Designs" status of ERJ-12SF2260U affect substitution?

A: No. This status indicates Panasonic's manufacturing roadmap for that specific part number and does not reflect electrical performance or reliability. The part remains functionally equivalent and suitable for substitution in existing designs. For new design programs, RMCF2010FT226R with Active status may be preferred for long-term supply assurance.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry reliability standard. Both substitute parts carry this qualification, which indicates enhanced testing and quality assurance. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications and provides additional confidence in component reliability across the full operating temperature range.

Q: Can I mix RC5025F2260CS and substitute parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. All three parts meet identical electrical specifications and package requirements. Mixed sourcing is acceptable from an engineering standpoint. However, production documentation should clearly identify part numbers used to maintain traceability and support future maintenance or rework activities.
