RC5025F22R6CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F22R6CS is a 22.6 Ohm ±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 features moisture-resistant construction with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for current production applications requiring stable resistive elements across industrial and commercial temperature ranges.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package dimensions, termination type) while accounting for performance enhancements or alternative sourcing options.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F22R6CS are qualified based on the following substitution criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 22.6 Ohms (exact)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact)
• Package: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact)
• Terminations: 2 (exact)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 (exact)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power Rating: Substitutes rated at 0.75W (3/4W) or higher are acceptable, as they provide equal or greater thermal capability than the 0.667W (2/3W) main part
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) is compatible with the standard 2010 package specification
• Product Status: Active status preferred; Not For New Designs status acceptable for existing production support

All identified substitutes maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical fit while meeting or exceeding the thermal and compliance requirements of the main part.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW201022R6FKEF (Vishay Dale) - Primary Substitute

The CRCW201022R6FKEF is the preferred substitute for new designs and production continuity. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while providing enhanced thermal capability at 0.75W (3/4W) versus the main part's 0.667W (2/3W). The component carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification provides additional reliability assurance for demanding applications. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating match the main part exactly.

ERJ-12SF22R6U (Panasonic Electronic Components) - Secondary Substitute

The ERJ-12SF22R6U provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical specifications and enhanced thermal rating. However, this part carries Not For New Designs product status, indicating Panasonic has transitioned this component to legacy support. This substitute is suitable for existing production lines requiring component replacement or inventory supplementation but should not be selected for new circuit designs. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and ROHS3 compliance are maintained.

Selection Criteria Summary:

• For new designs: Select CRCW201022R6FKEF (Active status, enhanced thermal rating)
• For existing production support: Either CRCW201022R6FKEF or ERJ-12SF22R6U (both electrically equivalent)
• All substitutes are mechanically compatible with RC5025F22R6CS PCB layouts
• Height variation (0.66mm vs. 0.70mm) is negligible for standard assembly processes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW201022R6FKEF directly replace RC5025F22R6CS in existing circuits?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (22.6 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), package (2010/5025 Metric), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The CRCW201022R6FKEF's higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides equal or superior thermal performance. Physical dimensions are compatible with standard PCB layouts.

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

A: The power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation capability. The CRCW201022R6FKEF and ERJ-12SF22R6U are rated for 0.75W, providing approximately 12.5% greater thermal headroom than the RC5025F22R6CS at 0.667W. In circuits where the main part operates within its 0.667W specification, substitutes with higher ratings present no compatibility issues and offer improved thermal margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: All three parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and width (0.098" / 2.50mm). Maximum seated height varies slightly: RC5025F22R6CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), CRCW201022R6FKEF and ERJ-12SF22R6U at 0.028" (0.70mm). This 0.02mm difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" status mean for ERJ-12SF22R6U?

A: Not For New Designs indicates Panasonic has discontinued active development and marketing of this component. While the part remains available for existing production support, it should not be selected for new circuit designs. The CRCW201022R6FKEF, with Active status, is the recommended choice for new applications requiring long-term supply assurance.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC5025F22R6CS, CRCW201022R6FKEF, and ERJ-12SF22R6U are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no special handling or storage requirements beyond standard component practices.

Q: Do the automotive AEC-Q200 qualifications on substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification on CRCW201022R6FKEF and ERJ-12SF22R6U represents additional reliability testing and validation. These certifications do not restrict use in non-automotive applications and provide enhanced assurance for any application requiring high reliability. The RC5025F22R6CS moisture-resistant feature and the substitutes' automotive qualification both indicate robust construction suitable for demanding environments.
