RC5025F2871CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F2871CS is a 2.87 kOhms ±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 is currently in active production status with 630 pieces available in new original inventory.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when design requirements permit the use of higher-rated components with identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC5025F2871CS is permissible when the following criteria are met:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.87 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power ratings (0.75W or greater) while maintaining identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics.

The identified substitute parts meet all mandatory parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC5025F2871CS in applications where the original part is unavailable or alternative sourcing is required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F2871CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

Primary selection for new designs and applications where the original specification is required. Active production status ensures long-term availability. ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating suitable for standard industrial and consumer applications.

CRCW20102K87FKEF (Vishay Dale)

Direct substitute with higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified component suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications. Active production status with higher inventory availability (9946 pieces). Identical electrical and mechanical compatibility with marginal height increase (0.028" versus 0.026"). ROHS3 compliant.

ERJ-12SF2871U (Panasonic Electronic Components)

Functionally equivalent substitute with identical electrical specifications and higher power rating (0.75W). Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified. Product status is "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in mature phase with limited future availability. Suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications. ROHS3 compliant with high current inventory (10880 pieces).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW20102K87FKEF replace RC5025F2871CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The CRCW20102K87FKEF meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin. The marginal height difference (0.028" versus 0.026") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 2010 package components.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-12SF2871U?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature production phase with no active development or enhancement. While functionally suitable for substitution, it should not be selected for new product designs due to uncertain long-term availability. Use only for legacy system maintenance or replacement scenarios.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with moisture-sensitive assembly processes?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including substitutes, carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Does the height difference between RC5025F2871CS (0.66mm) and substitute parts (0.70mm) affect PCB design?

A: The 0.04mm height difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly. Both dimensions fall within the 2010 package specification tolerance. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: Are all listed parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RC5025F2871CS and both substitute parts (CRCW20102K87FKEF and ERJ-12SF2871U) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting a substitute part with higher power rating?

A: Higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) provides additional thermal headroom in the application, reducing junction temperature stress and extending component operational life under continuous load conditions.
