Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F682CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution logic is as follows:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 6.8 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Moisture Resistance: Required feature
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts may have equal or higher power dissipation capacity (0.667W or greater)
• Packaging Format: Original packaging (-) may be substituted with Tape & Reel (TR) or equivalent distribution formats
• Manufacturer: Alternative qualified manufacturers permitted

The RC2010FK-076K8L from YAGEO meets all core compatibility requirements with an upgraded power rating of 0.75W (3/4W), providing enhanced thermal margin while maintaining identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: RC5025F682CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics)

Selection criteria: Use when Samsung supply chain is established, original equipment specifications require exact manufacturer designation, or when 0.667W power rating is the limiting design constraint.

Substitute Part: RC2010FK-076K8L (YAGEO)

Selection criteria: Use when YAGEO supply chain offers cost or availability advantages, when higher thermal margin is beneficial (0.75W vs. 0.667W), or when component sourcing requires alternative manufacturer qualification. This substitute provides identical electrical performance with enhanced power dissipation capacity.

Compliance Basis:

Both parts maintain Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance. Both achieve REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating on both parts eliminates moisture sensitivity constraints in storage and handling. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical package dimensions (2010/5025 Metric) and equivalent seated heights (0.66mm vs. 0.65mm maximum).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-076K8L replace RC5025F682CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical resistance (6.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package format (2010), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin without affecting electrical performance.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with identical length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and width (0.098" / 2.50mm). Maximum seated heights are equivalent (0.66mm vs. 0.65mm), ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints and assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: RC5025F682CS is rated for 0.667W (2/3W), while RC2010FK-076K8L is rated for 0.75W (3/4W). The substitute provides approximately 12% higher power dissipation capacity. Both ratings are suitable for identical circuit applications; the higher rating on the substitute offers additional thermal headroom.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC5025F682CS and RC2010FK-076K8L carry full RoHS3 compliance certification. Both also maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints. These components can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures, simplifying logistics and inventory management.

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

A: Yes. Electrical specifications (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating range) are identical. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through matching package format and dimensions. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: RC5025F682CS is available in standard packaging (-). RC2010FK-076K8L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are compatible with standard component placement equipment and assembly processes.
