Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F6980CS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitution logic requires:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 698 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match for PCB footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (maintains electrical performance characteristics)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 0.667W; higher ratings are acceptable as they provide additional thermal margin
• RoHS and REACH compliance: Substitute must maintain or exceed compliance status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 is maintained across all qualified substitutes

The RMCF2010FT698R from Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria, with the additional benefit of a higher power rating (0.75W) and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMCF2010FT698R is a qualified substitute for the RC5025F6980CS based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components share identical resistance value (698 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). These parameters ensure equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components utilize the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with matching footprint dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W). The marginal height difference (0.026" vs 0.028" seated maximum) presents no PCB assembly or clearance concerns.

Power Rating: The RMCF2010FT698R provides a higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W), which exceeds the original specification and provides additional thermal margin without circuit modification.

Regulatory Compliance: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring equivalent compliance posture for regulated applications.

Product Status: Both components are classified as Active, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Additional Qualification: The RMCF2010FT698R carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing enhanced reliability documentation for applications requiring automotive-grade components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT698R replace the RC5025F6980CS in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package dimensions and footprint specifications. The marginal height difference (0.66mm vs 0.70mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not require design changes.

Q: Does the higher power rating of the RMCF2010FT698R (0.75W vs 0.667W) affect circuit performance?

A: No. A higher power rating indicates greater thermal capacity and does not alter electrical characteristics. The component will operate identically in the circuit while providing additional thermal margin.

Q: Are the temperature coefficients equivalent between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C, ensuring equivalent temperature-dependent performance.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the RMCF2010FT698R?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification that documents enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance. This qualification is beneficial for automotive applications but does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: Are there any moisture handling differences between these components?

A: No. Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating identical moisture sensitivity levels and requiring no special moisture control during storage or handling.

Q: Can these components be used interchangeably in high-precision applications requiring ±1% tolerance?

A: Yes. Both components maintain ±1% tolerance specification, making them suitable for applications requiring this precision level.

Q: What packaging format is the RMCF2010FT698R supplied in?

A: The RMCF2010FT698R is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated PCB assembly processes.
