Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F361CS is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Critical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 360 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package designation: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1

Flexible Parameters (Substitution Allowed):

• Power rating: Substitute parts rated at 0.75W (3/4W) or higher satisfy the 0.667W (2/3W) requirement
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all critical parameters match
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel (TR) acceptable as alternative to standard packaging

The RC2010FK-07360RL from YAGEO meets all critical parameter requirements and provides increased power dissipation capability (0.75W versus 0.667W), making it a valid substitute for applications where the original part is unavailable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-07360RL from YAGEO is a qualified substitute for the RC5025F361CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both components provide identical resistance value (360 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). The substitute's higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) does not compromise circuit performance and provides additional thermal margin.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts utilize the identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package with matching physical dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm) and equivalent seated heights (0.66mm versus 0.65mm). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification. MSL Level 1 rating for both parts ensures unlimited shelf life without moisture sensitivity constraints.

Product Status: Both components are classified as Active products, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Selection between these components should be based on supply chain availability, lead time requirements, and packaging format preferences (standard packaging versus Tape & Reel).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07360RL replace RC5025F361CS in all applications?
