Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F6042CS are identified based on strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Resistance value: 60.4 kOhms (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 Criteria:

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

Environmental & Compliance Criteria:

• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (minimum requirement)

The RMCF2010FT60K4 from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a substitute part because it meets all critical electrical parameters (60.4 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C), maintains identical mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm dimensions), and satisfies all environmental and compliance requirements (ROHS3, MSL 1). The power rating differential (0.75W vs. 0.667W) represents an upgrade in thermal capability, making this substitute suitable for applications where the original part is specified.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (RC5025F6042CS): The RC5025F6042CS remains the primary component choice when Samsung Electro-Mechanics sourcing is specified or preferred. This part maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. The 0.667W power rating is suitable for standard applications within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Substitute Selection (RMCF2010FT60K4): The RMCF2010FT60K4 from Stackpole Electronics Inc is a qualified substitute when Samsung Electro-Mechanics components are unavailable or when supply chain considerations require alternative sourcing. This substitute provides identical electrical performance (60.4 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C) and maintains full mechanical compatibility with the 2010 package footprint. The elevated power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin without introducing any functional incompatibility. The RMCF2010FT60K4 carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which exceeds the compliance requirements of the original part and is suitable for both commercial and automotive applications. Both components satisfy ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT60K4 be used as a direct replacement for the RC5025F6042CS?

A: Yes. The RMCF2010FT60K4 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC5025F6042CS. Both components share identical resistance value (60.4 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), package type (2010 / 5025 Metric), and physical dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm). The substitute part's higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) represents an upgrade in thermal capability and does not create incompatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Samsung vs. Stackpole), power rating (0.667W vs. 0.75W), packaging format (unspecified vs. Tape & Reel), and automotive qualification (none vs. AEC-Q200). All electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions are identical. The maximum seated height differs by 0.04mm (0.66mm vs. 0.70mm), which is negligible for standard PCB assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F6042CS and RMCF2010FT60K4 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the RMCF2010FT60K4?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard that certifies component reliability under automotive operating conditions. While the original RC5025F6042CS does not carry this designation, the RMCF2010FT60K4's AEC-Q200 rating indicates it meets stringent automotive reliability requirements and is suitable for both commercial and automotive applications.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes. The identical electrical specifications (60.4 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm footprint) ensure functional interchangeability. PCB layouts, schematic designations, and circuit performance remain unchanged when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both the RC5025F6042CS and RMCF2010FT60K4 carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures prior to assembly.

Q: Are there any thermal performance differences between the 0.667W and 0.75W ratings?

A: The RMCF2010FT60K4's 0.75W rating provides approximately 12.5% additional power dissipation capacity compared to the RC5025F6042CS's 0.667W rating. In applications where the original part operates near its thermal limit, the substitute part offers improved thermal margin. In standard applications, both parts perform identically.
