Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F23R7CS is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 23.7 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Package: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Power rating: Equal to or greater than 0.667W
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum)
• Terminations: 2 (exact match)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Substitute parts identified in this reference meet all primary matching parameters and maintain compatibility across secondary parameters. Power ratings may exceed the original specification, providing enhanced thermal margin. Product status variations are noted for design consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW201023R7FKEF (Vishay Dale) is the primary substitute for new designs. This part maintains Active product status, meets all electrical and mechanical specifications, and provides increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W). The component includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, offering enhanced reliability margin. Height dimension increases from 0.66mm to 0.70mm; PCB layout clearance must be verified for space-constrained applications.

ERJ-12SF23R7U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is functionally equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This designation indicates the manufacturer is discontinuing active development and support. Use of this part is restricted to legacy system maintenance, repair, or applications where design freeze requirements apply. The component shares identical electrical specifications and AEC-Q200 qualification with CRCW201023R7FKEF.

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original RC5025F23R7CS specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW201023R7FKEF replace RC5025F23R7CS in all applications?

A: CRCW201023R7FKEF is mechanically and electrically compatible. The increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides thermal margin. The maximum seated height increases from 0.66mm to 0.70mm; verify PCB layout clearance in height-constrained designs.

Q: Why is ERJ-12SF23R7U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) has discontinued active product development. The part remains available for existing inventory but is not recommended for new circuit designs. Use CRCW201023R7FKEF for new applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. RC5025F23R7CS, CRCW201023R7FKEF, and ERJ-12SF23R7U are all ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the significance of the 2010 (5025 Metric) package designation?

A: The 2010 package is a standardized SMD chip resistor form factor with dimensions 5.00mm length × 2.50mm width. All substitute parts use this identical package, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do substitute parts require different handling procedures?

A: No. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, requiring standard ESD precautions but no special moisture-barrier packaging or baking procedures.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance?

A: All parts share ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, indicating identical resistance drift characteristics across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. This parameter is critical for precision applications requiring stable resistance values across temperature extremes.
