Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F6041CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Resistance value of 6.04 kOhms with ±1% tolerance is mandatory. Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C ensures thermal stability matching.

Package Compatibility: 2010 (5025 Metric) package dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) are required for PCB footprint compatibility.

Thermal Performance: Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C must be maintained.

Power Rating Consideration: The substitute part RMCF2010FT6K04 has a higher power rating of 0.75W (3/4W) compared to the main part's 0.667W (2/3W). This represents an upgrade in power dissipation capability and is acceptable for substitution in applications where the main part is specified, as the higher rating provides additional thermal margin.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained across substitute parts.
