Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025F8061CS is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.06 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (substitute must equal or exceed precision)
• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (electrical performance class)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (stability specification)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory alignment)

Allowable Variations:

• Power rating: Substitute may exceed the 0.667W specification of the main part, provided all other parameters remain equivalent
• Packaging format: Original part supplied in bulk; substitute may be supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format without affecting electrical or mechanical compatibility
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers acceptable if all electrical and mechanical specifications are met
• Additional certifications: Substitute may include additional qualifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive rating) without compromising compatibility

The RMCF2010FT8K06 meets all mandatory criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RMCF2010FT8K06 manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the RC5025F8061CS. Both components maintain identical resistance values, tolerance specifications, package dimensions, and operating temperature ranges. The substitute component features a higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W), which provides additional thermal margin without introducing incompatibility.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring regulatory alignment and identical handling requirements. The substitute part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional certification layer and does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications.

Physical compatibility is confirmed through matching 2010 (5025 Metric) package specifications. The maximum seated height differential (0.028" versus 0.026") remains within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect board-level integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RMCF2010FT8K06 be used as a direct replacement for the RC5025F8061CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (8.06 kOhms ±1%), matching package footprint (2010/5025 Metric), and equivalent operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The substitute component's higher power rating (0.75W) provides additional thermal capability without affecting circuit performance.

Q: What is the significance of the power rating difference between the two parts?

A: The RC5025F8061CS is rated for 0.667W (2/3W) dissipation, while the RMCF2010FT8K06 is rated for 0.75W (3/4W). In substitution scenarios, the higher power rating of the substitute part ensures adequate thermal performance under identical operating conditions. This represents a design margin improvement rather than a limitation.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these components?

A: The RC5025F8061CS is supplied in bulk packaging, while the RMCF2010FT8K06 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats contain identical components; the difference reflects only the delivery and handling method. Tape & Reel format is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 automotive qualification on the RMCF2010FT8K06 restrict its application?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional certification that exceeds standard industrial requirements. Components with automotive qualifications are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and may be used without restriction.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB assembly?

A: Yes. Both components conform to the 2010 (5025 Metric) package standard with matching length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and width (0.098" / 2.50mm). The maximum seated height difference (0.028" versus 0.026") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect placement or soldering processes.

Q: Do both components meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC5025F8061CS and RMCF2010FT8K06 are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) codes. Regulatory compliance is equivalent across both components.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification, and is it identical between both parts?

A: Both components specify a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C across the operating range of -55°C to 155°C. This specification defines the resistance value stability relative to temperature changes and is identical for both the main part and substitute.
