RC5025F2263CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F2263CS is a 226 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format with 0.667W power rating. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and ROHS3 compliance. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package footprint and resistance value, enabling direct board-level replacement in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F2263CS is determined by strict adherence to the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 226 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (exact match required)

Secondary Consideration:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts rated at 0.75W (3/4W) or higher are acceptable as they exceed the original 0.667W specification, providing equivalent or superior thermal performance in the same package footprint.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RC5025F2263CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Recommended for New Designs):

AC2010FK-07226KL (YAGEO) is the preferred substitute for RC5025F2263CS. This part maintains all critical electrical parameters while offering automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and active product status. The increased power rating of 0.75W provides thermal margin over the original 0.667W specification within the identical 2010 package footprint. YAGEO inventory availability (10,668 pcs) supports production continuity.

Secondary Substitute (Active Status):

CRCW2010226KFKEF (Vishay Dale) is an alternative substitute meeting all substitution criteria with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and active product status. This part is suitable for applications requiring Vishay Dale component qualification or supply chain diversification. Inventory availability (3,546 pcs) supports medium-volume requirements.

Legacy Substitute (Not Recommended for New Designs):

ERJ-12SF2263U (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies where original RC5025F2263CS components are unavailable. New design implementations should utilize AC2010FK-07226KL or CRCW2010226KFKEF.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC2010FK-07226KL replace RC5025F2263CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. AC2010FK-07226KL is a direct substitute meeting all electrical specifications (226 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and mechanical requirements (2010 package, thick film composition, MSL 1). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides equivalent or superior performance in the same footprint.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference between RC5025F2263CS (0.667W) and substitute parts (0.75W)?

A: The substitute parts are rated for higher power dissipation within the same 2010 package. This represents a design improvement and does not create compatibility issues. Applications designed for 0.667W operation will function identically with 0.75W-rated substitutes, with improved thermal headroom.

Q: Are all substitute parts automotive-qualified?

A: AC2010FK-07226KL and CRCW2010226KFKEF both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. ERJ-12SF2263U also carries AEC-Q200 qualification but is marked "Not For New Designs." The original RC5025F2263CS does not list automotive qualification in the provided specifications.

Q: Why is ERJ-12SF2263U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-12SF2263U carries "Not For New Designs" product status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is transitioning away from this part number. It remains suitable for repair and replacement of existing assemblies but should not be selected for new product development. Use AC2010FK-07226KL or CRCW2010226KFKEF for new designs.

Q: Are there package footprint differences between substitute parts?

A: All parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and width (0.098" / 2.50mm). Height variations are minimal (0.66mm to 0.70mm maximum seated height), presenting no practical PCB assembly or clearance concerns.

Q: What is MSL 1 rating and why is it important?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All parts in this comparison carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related handling constraints and simplifying inventory management.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in production?

A: Yes, within the constraints of component qualification requirements. AC2010FK-07226KL and CRCW2010226KFKEF are both active products suitable for production use. ERJ-12SF2263U should be reserved for repair and replacement only. Verify that your design documentation and supplier agreements permit cross-manufacturer substitution before implementing production changes.
