RC5025F5360CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC5025F5360CS is a 536 Ohm ±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 and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). This resistor is suitable for general-purpose applications requiring moisture resistance and tight tolerance specifications. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when application requirements necessitate alternative specifications within compatible parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC5025F5360CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 536 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance status

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating: Substitute parts may exceed the 0.667W specification, provided the higher rating does not introduce incompatibility with circuit design constraints
• Physical dimensions: Minor variations in height (seated maximum) are acceptable within standard manufacturing tolerances for the 2010 package format
• Packaging format: Original packaging specification may differ from substitute part packaging without affecting functional compatibility

The RMCF2010FT536R from Stackpole Electronics Inc meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute with enhanced power rating capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMCF2010FT536R qualifies as a direct functional substitute for the RC5025F5360CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components are Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings.

Substitution Basis:

The RMCF2010FT536R provides equivalent electrical performance with identical resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) represents a design margin enhancement without introducing incompatibility. Physical dimensions remain within the 2010 package specification, with height variation of 0.002" (0.04mm) representing standard manufacturing tolerance.

Compliance Considerations:

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The RMCF2010FT536R carries Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating enhanced reliability screening and qualification for automotive applications. This certification does not preclude use in non-automotive applications and represents an additional quality assurance level.

Application Context:

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements. The RC5025F5360CS is appropriate for general-purpose applications requiring moisture resistance. The RMCF2010FT536R is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability or where the enhanced power rating provides design margin benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT536R replace the RC5025F5360CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RMCF2010FT536R is electrically and mechanically compatible. Identical resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range ensure functional equivalence. The higher power rating does not create incompatibility with circuits designed for the 0.667W specification.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 qualification on the RMCF2010FT536R?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard indicating the component has undergone enhanced reliability testing and qualification procedures. This certification is applicable to automotive applications but does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns between these parts?

A: Both components use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format with identical length and width dimensions (0.197" x 0.098"). Height variation is 0.002" (0.04mm), which falls within standard manufacturing tolerances for this package format and does not create PCB layout or assembly compatibility issues.

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

A: The RC5025F5360CS is supplied in standard packaging format. The RMCF2010FT536R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging formats contain identical components; the difference reflects supplier packaging methodology and does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for moisture-sensitive applications?

A: Yes. Both components carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both are suitable for applications without special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: How do the temperature coefficients compare?

A: Both components have identical temperature coefficients of ±100ppm/°C and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Temperature stability performance is equivalent.
