Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F273CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 27 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (precision class match required)
• Package designation: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical compatibility required)
• Composition: Thick Film (technology match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (stability match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (environmental envelope match required)
• Moisture Resistance: Present (feature match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory match required)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may exceed the 0.667W specification, provided the higher rating does not compromise package dimensions or thermal characteristics within the 2010 form factor.

The RC2010FK-0727KL from YAGEO meets all mandatory equivalence criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute with enhanced power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W), maintaining identical package geometry and electrical performance specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-0727KL from YAGEO qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC5025F273CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics based on complete parameter equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Selection Basis:

Both components maintain identical resistance value (27 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package form factor (2010 / 5025 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature envelope (-55°C to 155°C). Both components feature moisture resistance, achieve ROHS3 compliance, and carry MSL Level 1 rating with REACH Unaffected status.

The RC2010FK-0727KL provides enhanced power dissipation capability (0.75W versus 0.667W) while maintaining identical package dimensions and height specifications, presenting no mechanical or thermal constraints within the 2010 form factor.

Both components are classified as Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. Selection between these parts may be determined by supply chain considerations, inventory availability, or procurement preferences, as electrical and mechanical performance remain fully equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0727KL replace RC5025F273CS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. The RC2010FK-0727KL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RC5025F273CS. Both components share identical resistance value (27 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package dimensions (2010 / 5025 Metric), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The higher power rating of the substitute (0.75W versus 0.667W) does not create compatibility issues and may provide additional thermal margin in power-dissipation-limited applications.

Q: Are the package dimensions identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F273CS and RC2010FK-0727KL are specified with identical package dimensions of 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) and maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm / 0.65mm). These components are mechanically interchangeable in PCB layouts designed for the 2010 (5025 Metric) form factor.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and are classified as REACH Unaffected. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are fully satisfied by either component.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient specification?

A: The temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C defines the maximum change in resistance value per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range. Both the RC5025F273CS and RC2010FK-0727KL maintain this identical specification, ensuring equivalent stability and predictability of resistance value across the -55°C to 155°C operating envelope.

Q: Can these components be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications?

A: Both components are classified as Active product status with equivalent electrical specifications, composition (thick film), and environmental ratings. Selection between them may be determined by supply chain factors, inventory availability, or specific procurement requirements rather than technical performance differences.
