Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F560CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 56 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Material & Feature Requirements:

• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Moisture resistance: Present (exact match required)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• MSL Level 1 or equivalent (minimum requirement)

The RC2010FK-0756RL qualifies as a substitute part because it maintains electrical equivalence (56 Ohms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C), mechanical compatibility (2010 package, identical dimensions), material composition (thick film, moisture resistant), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). The power rating differential (0.75W vs. 0.667W) represents an upgrade capability and does not disqualify substitution in applications where the original power rating is sufficient.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-0756RL manufactured by YAGEO is a qualified substitute for the RC5025F560CS. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

Primary Selection Criteria:

• Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance
• Both parts carry MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions
• Both parts are classified as REACH Unaffected and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications

Power Rating Consideration: The RC2010FK-0756RL provides 0.75W rated power versus the RC5025F560CS 0.667W rating. This represents a 12.5% increase in power dissipation capability. In applications where the circuit design requires 0.667W or less, the RC2010FK-0756RL operates within its rated specifications and provides additional thermal margin. In applications requiring exactly 0.667W or where power budget is critical, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Packaging and Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts are packaged in 2010 (5025 Metric) format with identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm). Height specifications are within 0.01mm tolerance (0.66mm vs. 0.65mm), ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and reflow profiles.

Compliance and Supply Chain: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements (RoHS3, REACH, EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0030). Selection may be driven by inventory availability, lead time, or supply chain strategy rather than technical performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0756RL replace RC5025F560CS in all applications?

A: Yes, the RC2010FK-0756RL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RC5025F560CS. Both parts have identical resistance (56 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package format (2010), and physical dimensions. The higher power rating of RC2010FK-0756RL (0.75W vs. 0.667W) does not prevent substitution in applications designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: The RC5025F560CS is rated for 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation, while the RC2010FK-0756RL is rated for 0.75W (3/4W). The RC2010FK-0756RL provides approximately 12.5% additional power handling capacity. In circuits where power dissipation does not exceed 0.667W, both parts operate safely. The RC2010FK-0756RL may be preferred in applications with higher thermal stress or where additional design margin is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: Yes. Both parts measure 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) and are housed in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package. Maximum seated height differs by only 0.01mm (0.66mm vs. 0.65mm), which is negligible for PCB assembly and does not affect component placement or reflow compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RC5025F560CS and RC2010FK-0756RL are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and carry the same HTSUS code (8533.21.0030). Both parts have MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection under standard storage conditions.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RC5025F560CS is supplied in standard packaging (specific format not detailed in provided specifications). The RC2010FK-0756RL is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations.

Q: Are there any temperature performance differences?

A: No. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C and share the same temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. Temperature stability and thermal performance are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on supply chain availability, lead time, and inventory status. From a technical standpoint, both parts are equivalent. The RC2010FK-0756RL offers slightly higher power rating margin, which may be advantageous in thermally constrained applications. Consult current inventory and supplier lead times for procurement decisions.
