RC5025F683CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F683CS is a 68 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in a 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are required due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or design flexibility needs while maintaining identical functional performance in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F683CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 68 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match or superior range required)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

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

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (exact match required)
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) (exact match or superior rating required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Moisture Resistant feature (exact match required)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts with equal or higher power ratings are acceptable, as increased power dissipation capability does not compromise circuit functionality and provides design margin.

The RC2010FK-0768KL from YAGEO meets all substitution criteria with a higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2010FK-0768KL from YAGEO is a direct functional equivalent to the RC5025F683CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (68 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient), mechanical compatibility (2010 package, identical footprint), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1).

The RC2010FK-0768KL provides a 0.083W power rating increase (0.75W vs. 0.667W), which represents a design margin enhancement without introducing any compatibility concerns. Both components operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and feature moisture-resistant thick film construction.

Selection between these components should be based on availability, lead time, packaging format requirements (the RC2010FK-0768KL is supplied in Tape & Reel format), and procurement preferences. Both components are Active status products with established supply chains and full regulatory compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0768KL replace RC5025F683CS in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W, 5.00mm x 2.50mm) and footprint specifications. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating on the YAGEO part?

A: The RC2010FK-0768KL is rated at 0.75W compared to the Samsung part's 0.667W. This represents a 12.5% increase in power dissipation capability. In circuit applications, this provides additional thermal margin and does not compromise performance when the original design calls for 0.667W or lower power dissipation.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both components specify 68 kOhms ±1% resistance value, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range. Electrical performance is functionally equivalent.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each part?

A: The RC5025F683CS (Samsung) is supplied in standard packaging format. The RC2010FK-0768KL (YAGEO) is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant, carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and are REACH Unaffected. Regulatory and environmental compliance is equivalent.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in critical applications?

A: Yes, provided the application requirements do not exceed the specified electrical parameters. Both components are Active status products with established reliability data and full compliance documentation suitable for critical applications.

Q: What is the difference in height between these components?

A: The RC5025F683CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while the RC2010FK-0768KL has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). This 0.01mm difference is negligible for PCB assembly and does not affect component placement or clearance considerations.
