Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F7871CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 7.87 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation:

• Power Rating: Substitute parts rated at 0.75W (3/4W) are acceptable as this represents a higher power capability than the original 0.667W specification, maintaining functional compatibility in the same package footprint.

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: ERJ-12SF7871U (Panasonic Electronic Components) and RMCF2010FT7K87 (Stackpole Electronics Inc).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC5025F7871CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) - Primary Component

• Product Status: Active
• Recommended for new designs requiring the original specification
• Moisture resistant thick film construction
• ROHS3 and REACH compliant

ERJ-12SF7871U (Panasonic Electronic Components) - Substitute Option

• Product Status: Not For New Designs
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rated
• Higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) provides thermal margin
• Suitable for replacement in existing designs where supply constraints exist
• Slightly increased seated height (0.028" vs 0.026") requires PCB layout verification

RMCF2010FT7K87 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) - Substitute Option

• Product Status: Active
• Automotive AEC-Q200 rated
• Higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) provides thermal margin
• Suitable for new designs as an alternative to the primary component
• Slightly increased seated height (0.028" vs 0.026") requires PCB layout verification

Selection between substitute parts depends on design phase (new vs. existing), supply availability, and automotive qualification requirements. Both substitutes maintain electrical equivalence and environmental compliance with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-12SF7871U replace RC5025F7871CS in all applications? A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) versus the original 0.026" (0.66mm). All electrical parameters, resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating range are identical. The higher power rating (0.75W) is a non-limiting advantage.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference between 0.667W and 0.75W? A: The substitute parts are rated for higher power dissipation in the same package footprint. This represents improved thermal capability and does not restrict their use in circuits designed for the lower 0.667W specification. The component will operate within safe thermal limits in all applications where the original part was specified.

Q: Are the substitute parts suitable for new product designs? A: RMCF2010FT7K87 (Stackpole) is classified as Active and suitable for new designs. ERJ-12SF7871U (Panasonic) is classified as Not For New Designs; however, it remains available for replacement in existing production or legacy applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different PCB footprints? A: No. All three parts use identical 2010 (5025 Metric) package dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm). The seated height difference (0.026" to 0.028") is minimal and does not require footprint modification. Standard 2010 package land patterns accommodate all three components.

Q: Are automotive applications supported by the substitute parts? A: Both substitute parts carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The original RC5025F7871CS does not specify automotive rating. If automotive qualification is required, RMCF2010FT7K87 or ERJ-12SF7871U are appropriate selections.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all three parts? A: All three components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing inventory? A: Yes, for replacement purposes. The electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent. Verify packaging format compatibility: RC5025F7871CS is supplied in standard packaging, while ERJ-12SF7871U and RMCF2010FT7K87 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Handling and placement equipment must support the applicable packaging format.
