Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F3013CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 301 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package type: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)

Regulatory & Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Differences in power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) and specific feature sets (Automotive AEC-Q200 certification) represent enhanced or alternative specifications that do not preclude substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The RC5025F3013CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) remains the specified component. For equivalent substitution with active product status, CRCW2010301KFKEF (Vishay Dale) and RMCF2010FT301K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are both classified as Active and provide direct electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-12SF3013U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is classified as "Not For New Designs" and should not be selected for new product development. This part is listed for reference only in applications where existing inventory or legacy system support is required.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), ensuring regulatory alignment with the original specification.

Power Rating Differential: Substitute parts are rated at 0.75W (3/4W) compared to the original 0.667W (2/3W). This represents a higher power dissipation capability and does not restrict substitution in circuits designed for the original part.

Automotive Qualification: CRCW2010301KFKEF, ERJ-12SF3013U, and RMCF2010FT301K carry Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. The original RC5025F3013CS does not specify this qualification. Selection of AEC-Q200 qualified parts is appropriate for automotive applications but not required for general industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010301KFKEF replace RC5025F3013CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. CRCW2010301KFKEF meets all electrical parameters (301 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and mechanical specifications (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm dimensions). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited).

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

A: The power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation. Substitute parts rated at 0.75W can safely dissipate more heat than the original 0.667W specification. In applications where the original part operates within its power budget, the higher-rated substitute will operate at lower thermal stress with no functional change.

Q: Why is ERJ-12SF3013U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) has discontinued active development and support for this product line. While the part remains electrically and mechanically compatible, it should not be selected for new product development. Existing inventory may be used for legacy system support or repair applications.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all substitute parts?

A: Electrical and mechanical dimensions are standardized at 5.00mm x 2.50mm (0.197" L x 0.098" W) for all parts in the 2010 package. Seated height varies slightly: RC5025F3013CS at 0.026" (0.66mm) maximum, and all substitutes at 0.028" (0.70mm) maximum. This 0.002" (0.04mm) difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect board-level compatibility.

Q: Do substitute parts require different soldering or handling procedures?

A: No. All parts share identical package type (2010 / 5025 Metric), composition (Thick Film), and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Standard SMD assembly and soldering procedures apply uniformly across all parts listed.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW2010301KFKEF (Vishay Dale) or RMCF2010FT301K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are both Active status parts with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Either part is suitable for automotive circuit designs. ERJ-12SF3013U also carries AEC-Q200 qualification but is marked "Not For New Designs."

Q: Can multiple substitute parts be used interchangeably within the same production run?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical specifications (301 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm). Interchangeable use across multiple suppliers is supported by standardized package and performance parameters. Procurement should verify availability and lead times for each supplier.
