RC5025F8060CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F8060CS is a 806 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and package compatibility are maintained. The primary substitute ERJ-12SF8060U from Panasonic Electronic Components offers identical resistance and tolerance values with compatible package geometry, though it carries a higher power rating and automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F8060CS is determined by strict adherence to the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 806 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (substitute tolerance must not exceed this value)
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical and electrical compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (material consistency)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (thermal stability)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (environmental compatibility)

Allowable Variance:

• Power rating: Substitute must equal or exceed 0.667W minimum
• RoHS compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 is acceptable; higher MSL values require process evaluation

The ERJ-12SF8060U from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all mandatory criteria with a higher power rating (0.75W) and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced reliability margins.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Component (RC5025F8060CS): The RC5025F8060CS maintains Active product status with current manufacturing support from Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is suitable for new designs requiring standard industrial-grade thick film resistors with moisture-resistant construction. ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating provide flexibility in handling and storage protocols.

Substitute Component (ERJ-12SF8060U): The ERJ-12SF8060U from Panasonic Electronic Components is classified as Not For New Designs, indicating end-of-life or transition status. However, it remains available with substantial inventory (4250 Pcs) and carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin. This substitute is appropriate for:

• Replacement applications in existing designs
• Systems requiring automotive-grade reliability certification
• Applications where enhanced power dissipation capability is beneficial

Compliance Considerations: Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, satisfying current regulatory requirements. The identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) ensure thermal performance consistency across substitution.

Physical Compatibility: The maximum seated height variance (0.026" vs. 0.028") is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 2010 package format components. Both components maintain identical footprint dimensions (5.00mm x 2.50mm), ensuring direct mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-12SF8060U replace RC5025F8060CS in new designs?

A: The ERJ-12SF8060U is classified as Not For New Designs. For new product development, the RC5025F8060CS (Active status) is the appropriate selection. The Panasonic component is suitable only for replacement or legacy system applications.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference (0.667W vs. 0.75W)?

A: The ERJ-12SF8060U's higher power rating (0.75W) exceeds the RC5025F8060CS requirement (0.667W). This provides additional thermal dissipation capability without affecting electrical performance. Substitution in this direction (lower to higher power rating) is acceptable for applications operating within the original power specification.

Q: Are the physical dimensions truly identical?

A: The planar dimensions are identical (5.00mm x 2.50mm). The maximum seated height differs slightly (0.66mm vs. 0.70mm), representing a 0.04mm variance. This difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes and does not affect component placement or soldering.

Q: Does the automotive AEC-Q200 qualification of ERJ-12SF8060U affect compatibility?

A: AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality standards specific to automotive applications. This additional qualification does not create incompatibility; rather, it provides supplementary assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Non-automotive applications can use this component without modification.

Q: What is the impact of "Not For New Designs" status on the ERJ-12SF8060U?

A: This status indicates the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new product development, typically due to end-of-life planning or product line consolidation. Existing inventory remains available for replacement and legacy applications. For new designs, source the RC5025F8060CS or equivalent active-status alternatives.

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

A: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating identical moisture sensitivity classification. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling for either component. Standard industrial storage conditions are acceptable.

Q: Can these components be used interchangeably in PCB assembly?

A: Yes, for applications where the original RC5025F8060CS specification is met. The ERJ-12SF8060U can be substituted in existing PCB designs without requiring layout modifications, provided the application does not depend on the lower power rating as a design constraint. Assembly process parameters remain unchanged.
