Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F6982CS is determined by the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Resistance value: 69.8 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (substitute tolerance must be equal or tighter)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (must match or be superior)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) format (identical footprint and land pattern)
• Composition: Thick Film technology
• Number of terminations: 2 (standard chip resistor configuration)

Power Rating (Substitution Rule):

• Minimum acceptable: 0.667W (2/3W) as specified
• Higher power ratings are acceptable and provide thermal margin

Compliance Parameters (Mandatory Match):

• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL 1 rating acceptable (unlimited moisture sensitivity)

The identified substitute RMCF2010FT69K8 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria. The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal capability without affecting circuit performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

The RMCF2010FT69K8 is functionally equivalent to the RC5025F6982CS based on matching electrical specifications (69.8 kOhms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient) and identical mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm footprint). Both components maintain the required operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C and hold ROHS3 compliance certification.

Power Rating Consideration:

The substitute part carries a higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W). This provides additional thermal margin in applications and does not create any functional incompatibility. The higher rating ensures the substitute can handle the same or greater thermal stress without performance degradation.

Compliance and Certification:

Both parts satisfy RoHS3 requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications. The RMCF2010FT69K8 includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional quality assurance level. This qualification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications and indicates enhanced reliability screening.

Physical Compatibility:

The maximum seated height difference (0.026" vs. 0.028") is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes and does not affect placement or clearance in typical circuit board designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT69K8 be used as a direct replacement for the RC5025F6982CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (69.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and package format (2010 / 5025 Metric). The substitute meets or exceeds all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution.

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

A: The RMCF2010FT69K8 is rated for 0.75W compared to the main part's 0.667W. A higher power rating indicates greater thermal capability and does not create incompatibility. The substitute can safely handle the same power dissipation as the original part with additional thermal margin.

Q: Are there any height clearance issues due to the 0.002" (0.04mm) difference in seated height?

A: No. The maximum seated height difference (0.026" vs. 0.028") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect component placement, solder joint formation, or clearance to adjacent components in typical circuit board designs.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the substitute restrict its use to automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification represents additional quality assurance and reliability screening. Components with automotive qualification are suitable for use in any application, including non-automotive circuits. The qualification enhances reliability without limiting application scope.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F6982CS and RMCF2010FT69K8 carry ROHS3 compliance certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the MSL rating and does it affect handling?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. These components can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in the same circuit design?

A: Yes. Identical electrical parameters (resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package, footprint, dimensions) ensure functional interchangeability. Circuit performance will be equivalent when either part is used.
