RC5025F5620CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F5620CS is a 562 Ohms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format with 0.667W power rating. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical compatibility (package format, physical dimensions, termination count). Alternative components become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements mandate specific manufacturer certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F5620CS is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 562 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package format: 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)

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)
• Composition: Thick Film (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these core criteria. Substitute parts with higher power ratings (0.75W vs. 0.667W) are electrically compatible as they represent increased thermal capability within the same package envelope. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification present in substitute parts represents an additional qualification level and does not preclude substitution in non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AC2010FK-07562RL (YAGEO) is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains Active product status, carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and provides 0.75W power rating within the identical 2010 package envelope. The increased power capability offers thermal margin without dimensional or electrical trade-offs. Packaging is supplied as Tape & Reel (TR) format.

CRCW2010562RFKEF (Vishay Dale) is an equivalent alternative with Active product status and AEC-Q200 certification. This component is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging format. Height-seated dimension is 0.028" (0.70mm), which is within acceptable tolerance for 2010 package specifications.

ERJ-12SF5620U (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria with AEC-Q200 qualification. However, this part carries "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating manufacturer phase-out trajectory. This component is suitable for replacement or repair of existing assemblies but should not be selected for new product development. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard.

All three substitute parts are electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC5025F5620CS. Selection between AC2010FK-07562RL and CRCW2010562RFKEF should be based on packaging format requirements and supplier availability. ERJ-12SF5620U should be avoided in new designs due to product status classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a 0.75W rated resistor for the 0.667W RC5025F5620CS?

A: Yes. The substitute parts AC2010FK-07562RL, CRCW2010562RFKEF, and ERJ-12SF5620U all feature 0.75W power rating within the identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package. Higher power rating indicates increased thermal dissipation capability and represents a compatible upgrade. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical across all parts?

A: Length and width dimensions are identical at 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) for all parts. Height-seated maximum dimension varies slightly: RC5025F5620CS is 0.026" (0.66mm), AC2010FK-07562RL is 0.026" (0.65mm), while CRCW2010562RFKEF and ERJ-12SF5620U are 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations remain within standard 2010 package tolerance specifications and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for ERJ-12SF5620U?

A: This product status indicates that Panasonic has classified this component for end-of-life phase-out. The part remains available for existing inventory and repair applications but should not be selected for new product development. For new designs, AC2010FK-07562RL or CRCW2010562RFKEF are recommended.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All parts including the primary RC5025F5620CS carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. Substitute parts carrying this certification have undergone additional reliability testing and qualification for automotive applications. This certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications and represents an additional quality assurance level.

Q: Are packaging format differences significant?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel) affects supply chain logistics and automated assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Selection should align with your assembly equipment and procurement requirements.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the RC5025F5620CS. Identical footprint, termination count, and electrical characteristics ensure direct substitution without PCB redesign or assembly process modification.
