RC5025F5761CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F5761CS is a 5.76 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.667W (2/3W) in a 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant characteristics and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package footprint and performance envelope. Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain optimization, inventory availability, or application-specific certifications such as automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution logic for the RC5025F5761CS is based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence:

• Resistance value must be 5.76 kOhms
• Tolerance must be ±1% or tighter
• Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C or superior
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package must be 2010 (5025 Metric) for PCB footprint alignment
• Composition must be thick film
• Number of terminations must be 2

Regulatory & Environmental:

• ROHS3 compliance required
• MSL Level 1 or equivalent moisture sensitivity
• REACH Unaffected status maintained

Performance Enhancement:

• Power rating may exceed 0.667W (substitute rated at 0.75W is acceptable as it provides design margin)
• Additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not disqualify a substitute

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (RC5025F5761CS): Select the Samsung Electro-Mechanics RC5025F5761CS when the application requires the original specification and Samsung supply chain is preferred. This part is Active status with 614 pieces in stock inventory.

Substitute Selection (RMCF2010FT5K76): The Stackpole Electronics RMCF2010FT5K76 is a direct functional equivalent with the following considerations:

• Power Rating Enhancement: The 0.75W rating exceeds the 0.667W requirement, providing additional thermal margin in the application
• Automotive Certification: AEC-Q200 qualification is present on the substitute, which does not restrict use in non-automotive applications
• Packaging Format: Available in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes
• Inventory Availability: 8787 pieces in stock, providing superior supply chain availability
• Regulatory Compliance: Both ROHS3 and REACH requirements are met identically

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and tolerance specifications. The 0.002" (0.04mm) difference in seated height is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF2010FT5K76 be used as a direct replacement for RC5025F5761CS on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical package dimensions (2010 / 5025 Metric), footprint, and electrical specifications. The maximum seated height difference of 0.002" (0.04mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect placement or soldering.

Q: Does the higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) on the substitute create any compatibility issues?

A: No. A higher power rating indicates the substitute can dissipate more thermal energy without exceeding temperature limits. This provides additional design margin and does not create incompatibility. The electrical behavior remains identical at the specified 0.667W operating point.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture handling between these two parts?

A: No. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating identical moisture handling requirements and storage conditions.

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

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. Its presence on the Stackpole part does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. It indicates the part has undergone additional reliability testing and is suitable for automotive environments, making it acceptable for general industrial and consumer applications as well.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same production batch?

A: Yes, provided the application design does not specify a single-source requirement. Both parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. However, supply chain documentation should clearly identify which part number is used in each unit for traceability purposes.

Q: What is the difference between bulk packaging and Tape & Reel format?

A: Bulk packaging (RC5025F5761CS) is suitable for manual assembly or small-volume production. Tape & Reel format (RMCF2010FT5K76) is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical; packaging format is determined by manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients identical?

A: Yes. Both parts specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring identical frequency stability and resistance drift characteristics across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.
