RC5025F330CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F330CS is a 33 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated for 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in a 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when original inventory becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit higher power ratings within the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC5025F330CS is permitted with parts meeting the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 33 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (no deviation permitted)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (electrical performance characteristics)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (stability requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (environmental specification)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory compliance)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (handling classification)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power dissipation capacity than 0.667W (2/3W)

The RC2010FK-0733RL from YAGEO qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory parameters while providing increased power rating (0.75W / 3/4W), which is a functional upgrade within the same physical package.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-0733RL from YAGEO is a qualified substitute for the RC5025F330CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical resistance value (33 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The substitute provides increased power dissipation capacity (0.75W versus 0.667W), which represents a functional upgrade suitable for applications where the original part may operate near thermal limits.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical package designation (2010 / 5025 Metric), footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm), and termination count (2). Seated height specifications are within 0.01mm variance, confirming PCB assembly compatibility without design modification.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, REACH Unaffected status, and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications, ensuring equivalent regulatory standing for procurement and deployment.

Product Status: Both components are classified as Active products with current manufacturing support and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RC2010FK-0733RL replace the RC5025F330CS in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical package dimensions (2010 / 5025 Metric), footprint (5.00mm x 2.50mm), and termination configuration (2-pin). No PCB layout changes are required for physical substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) in the substitute part?

A: The RC2010FK-0733RL provides 12.5% additional power dissipation capacity. This upgrade allows the component to operate at higher current levels or in higher ambient temperature environments while maintaining the same thermal margin. The substitute is suitable for applications where the original part may approach thermal limits.

Q: Are the electrical characteristics identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical resistance value (33 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), composition (thick film), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Electrical performance in circuit operation is equivalent.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity classification?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F330CS and RC2010FK-0733RL are classified as MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) classifications. Regulatory standing is equivalent for procurement and deployment.

Q: What packaging format is available for the RC2010FK-0733RL?

A: The RC2010FK-0733RL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement specification.

Q: Can the RC5025F330CS be used as a substitute for the RC2010FK-0733RL?

A: No. While the RC5025F330CS meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RC2010FK-0733RL, it has lower power rating (0.667W vs 0.75W). Substitution in the reverse direction is not recommended for applications designed for the higher power capacity of the YAGEO part.
