Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F6040CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (604 Ohms) and tolerance (±1%) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match or exceed the main part specifications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (2010 / 5025 Metric) and physical dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) must be identical to ensure PCB footprint compatibility. Height variation is acceptable within standard manufacturing tolerances for the 2010 package.

Composition & Construction: Thick film construction is required. Moisture resistance features are acceptable as equivalent or superior alternatives.

Compliance & Ratings: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are mandatory. REACH Unaffected status is required.

The CRCW2010604RFKEF qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical parameters while offering increased power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which provides design margin without compromising circuit function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC5025F6040CS and CRCW2010604RFKEF are Active product status components with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming long-term availability and environmental regulatory alignment. The CRCW2010604RFKEF incorporates AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade component standards.

Both components are suitable for direct substitution in 2010 package applications where 604 Ohm ±1% thick film resistors are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010604RFKEF replace RC5025F6040CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (604 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), package (2010 / 5025 Metric), physical dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The substitute offers higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which is compatible with circuits designed for the main part.

Q: Are there package compatibility concerns?

A: No. Both parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W). Height variation (0.66mm vs. 0.70mm) is within standard manufacturing tolerance for this package class and does not affect PCB assembly or clearance.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components are RoHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The substitute additionally qualifies to AEC-Q200 automotive standards.

Q: Is the higher power rating of the substitute a concern?

A: No. Higher power rating indicates greater thermal capability and does not degrade circuit performance. The substitute is suitable for applications designed for the 0.667W main part.

Q: Are there differences in temperature performance?

A: No. Both components operate across -55°C ~ 155°C with identical ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring equivalent thermal stability and frequency response.
