Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F334CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Resistance value: 330 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Package type: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• Moisture resistance: Present (exact match required)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power dissipation capacity (0.667W minimum)
• Physical dimensions: Allowable within 2010 package specification tolerances
• Packaging format: May differ (bulk, tape & reel, etc.)
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all electrical and mechanical specifications are met

The RC2010FK-07330KL from YAGEO qualifies as a substitute because it maintains all mandatory equivalence parameters while providing increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W), which represents an upgrade in thermal capability without compromising any functional requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-07330KL from YAGEO is a direct substitute for the RC5025F334CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring equivalent regulatory and environmental performance.

The RC2010FK-07330KL provides a power rating increase from 0.667W to 0.75W, which represents enhanced thermal dissipation capability without introducing any functional incompatibility. This upgrade characteristic makes the YAGEO part suitable for applications where the original Samsung component is specified, with the additional benefit of higher power handling capacity.

Both components are manufactured using thick film technology with moisture-resistant construction, identical package dimensions within specified tolerances, and equivalent termination configuration (2 terminations). The physical footprint and PCB mounting characteristics are identical, ensuring direct drop-in compatibility in existing circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07330KL be used as a direct replacement for RC5025F334CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RC2010FK-07330KL maintains all critical electrical parameters (330 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and physical specifications (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm dimensions) required for direct substitution. The increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) is a non-limiting upgrade.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by exact equivalence in resistance value (330 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package type (2010 Metric), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Power rating may be equal or higher; packaging format may vary.

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

A: No. Both RC5025F334CS and RC2010FK-07330KL are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Regulatory and environmental compliance profiles are equivalent.

Q: Does the higher power rating of RC2010FK-07330KL affect circuit performance?

A: No. Higher power rating indicates greater thermal dissipation capability and does not alter electrical performance. The component will function identically in circuits designed for the original 0.667W specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are specified at 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) with maximum seated heights of 0.026" (0.66mm and 0.65mm respectively), which are within standard package tolerance specifications. PCB footprint and mounting characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: RC5025F334CS is supplied in standard packaging format, while RC2010FK-07330KL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences.
