Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F7870CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 787 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)

Compliance & Regulatory:

• RoHS3 Compliant (required)
• REACH Unaffected (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)

The substitute parts identified meet all electrical and mechanical parameters. Power rating variations (0.75W vs. 0.667W) represent uprated alternatives suitable for applications requiring equal or greater power dissipation capability within the same package footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CRCW2010787RFKEF (Vishay Dale) and RMCF2010FT787R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are the preferred substitute options. Both components maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support. These parts feature AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing enhanced reliability documentation for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The 0.75W power rating represents a 12.5% increase over the original specification, offering improved thermal margin within the identical 2010 package footprint.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-12SF7870U (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical parameters but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This part remains suitable for replacement in existing applications or legacy system maintenance where component continuity is required. Selection of this part for new designs is not recommended due to its discontinued status.

Compliance Considerations:

All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility across global markets. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) classification is consistent across all parts, eliminating moisture handling concerns during assembly and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW2010787RFKEF replace RC5025F7870CS in my application?

A: Yes. CRCW2010787RFKEF matches all critical electrical parameters (787 Ohms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and mechanical specifications (2010 package, 2 terminations, thick film composition). The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal capacity without affecting electrical performance or package dimensions.

Q: What is the difference between the 0.667W and 0.75W power ratings?

A: The power rating indicates maximum continuous power dissipation capability. The 0.75W rating of substitute parts allows higher current or voltage stress within the same physical package. For applications operating at or below 0.667W, both ratings are functionally equivalent. For applications approaching the original 0.667W limit, the higher-rated substitutes provide additional safety margin.

Q: Why is ERJ-12SF7870U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) has discontinued active development and production planning for this part number. While existing inventory remains available for replacement purposes, new product designs should utilize CRCW2010787RFKEF or RMCF2010FT787R to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The original RC5025F7870CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly requirements before finalizing part selection.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. All parts utilize the identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package with matching dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) and 2-termination configuration. PCB footprints are directly interchangeable without layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: RMCF2010FT787R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) and CRCW2010787RFKEF (Vishay Dale) both maintain Active product status with substantial inventory levels (4784 and 3729 units respectively), indicating strong manufacturer commitment to continued production and supply.
