RC5025F474CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F474CS is a 470 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 with moisture-resistant construction and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when identical electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package format, termination count) are maintained, with allowable variations in power rating and feature sets based on application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F474CS is determined by strict adherence to the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 470 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance status

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Power rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power ratings (0.75W or greater) without affecting circuit compatibility, provided the physical dimensions remain within the 2010 package specification
• Packaging format: Original tape & reel (TR) packaging may differ from bulk packaging without affecting electrical performance
• Moisture-resistant feature: Maintained across all qualified substitutes
• Manufacturer identity: Different manufacturers acceptable if all electrical and mechanical parameters align

The RC2010FK-07470KL (YAGEO) and CRCW2010470KFKEF (Vishay Dale) meet all mandatory parameters with upgraded power ratings of 0.75W (3/4W), providing enhanced thermal margin in applications where the original 0.667W specification is marginal.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-07470KL (YAGEO RC_L Series): This substitute provides direct electrical equivalence with a 0.083W power rating increase (0.75W versus 0.667W). The part maintains identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Physical dimensions remain within 2010 package constraints with seated height of 0.65mm. ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring component interchangeability with enhanced thermal performance margin.

CRCW2010470KFKEF (Vishay Dale CRCW Series): This substitute offers equivalent electrical performance with automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification and 0.75W power rating. The part satisfies all mandatory electrical parameters while providing additional reliability certification suitable for automotive and industrial applications. Seated height of 0.70mm remains within acceptable 2010 package specification limits. ROHS3 and REACH compliance are maintained. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-qualified components or where enhanced reliability documentation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07470KL replace RC5025F474CS in any application?

A: Yes, within the constraints of the 2010 package footprint and PCB layout. The RC2010FK-07470KL maintains identical electrical specifications (470 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and package format. The 0.083W power rating increase does not create compatibility issues; it provides additional thermal margin. Verify PCB assembly equipment can accommodate the 0.65mm seated height specification.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Vishay Dale substitutes?

A: Both substitutes provide identical 470 kOhms ±1% resistance with 0.75W power rating and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. The primary distinction is that CRCW2010470KFKEF includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. YAGEO RC2010FK-07470KL is a general-purpose industrial-grade equivalent. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating.

Q: Are there any height or dimensional concerns when substituting these parts?

A: Seated heights vary slightly: RC5025F474CS (0.66mm), RC2010FK-07470KL (0.65mm), and CRCW2010470KFKEF (0.70mm). All remain within the 2010 package specification. Verify PCB design clearances and assembly equipment settings accommodate the maximum 0.70mm height if using CRCW2010470KFKEF. Lateral dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm) are identical across all three parts.

Q: Can I use a higher power-rated resistor in place of the original 0.667W part?

A: Yes. The 0.75W substitutes are directly compatible. Higher power ratings indicate greater thermal capacity without affecting electrical performance. The resistor will dissipate the same power as the original in the circuit; the higher rating simply provides additional safety margin and potentially improved long-term reliability under thermal stress.

Q: What compliance certifications should I verify before substitution?

A: All three parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. If your application requires automotive qualification, CRCW2010470KFKEF with AEC-Q200 certification is the appropriate selection. For general industrial applications, RC2010FK-07470KL or RC5025F474CS are equivalent. Verify your specific application requirements against the provided compliance documentation.

Q: Are packaging format differences (tape & reel versus bulk) significant for substitution?

A: Packaging format affects supply chain and assembly logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both RC2010FK-07470KL and CRCW2010470KFKEF are supplied in tape & reel format, which is standard for automated PCB assembly. Verify your assembly equipment is compatible with tape & reel packaging if transitioning from bulk packaging.
