RC5025F820CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F820CS is an 82 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.667W (2/3W) continuous power dissipation with moisture-resistant construction and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity rating).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating), mechanical compatibility (package dimensions and termination count), and environmental performance characteristics (temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, and moisture resistance).

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025F820CS are qualified based on the following substitution criteria:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Resistance value: 82 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)
• Number of Terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Environmental & Compliance:

• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Features: Moisture Resistant (minimum requirement)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts with equal or higher power ratings (0.667W or greater) are acceptable. The RC5025F820CS operates at 0.667W; substitute parts rated at 0.75W or higher provide thermal margin while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

AC2010FK-0782RL (YAGEO - Automotive Grade)

This substitute part is qualified for direct replacement in applications where automotive-grade reliability is required. The AC2010FK-0782RL carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating compliance with automotive industry qualification standards. The increased power rating of 0.75W provides additional thermal headroom compared to the 0.667W rating of the RC5025F820CS. All electrical parameters, mechanical dimensions, and environmental specifications are identical. This part is suitable for automotive, industrial, and general-purpose applications requiring enhanced reliability documentation.

RC2010FK-0782RL (YAGEO - Standard Grade)

This substitute part provides direct electrical and mechanical compatibility with the RC5025F820CS. The RC2010FK-0782RL maintains identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range specifications. The 0.75W power rating exceeds the original part's 0.667W specification, providing thermal margin. This part is suitable for general-purpose applications where automotive-grade certification is not required. Both YAGEO substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 ratings, matching the environmental compliance profile of the original Samsung part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC2010FK-0782RL and RC2010FK-0782RL be used interchangeably with RC5025F820CS?

A: Both YAGEO parts meet all substitution criteria for the RC5025F820CS. They share identical electrical specifications (82 Ohms ±1%, ±100ppm/°C), mechanical dimensions (2010 package, 5.00mm x 2.50mm), and environmental ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The primary difference is that AC2010FK-0782RL includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification, while RC2010FK-0782RL is standard grade. Selection depends on application requirements.

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

A: The substitute parts are rated for 0.75W (3/4W) compared to the original 0.667W (2/3W). This higher rating provides additional thermal margin and does not affect electrical performance. In applications where the RC5025F820CS operates at or below its 0.667W specification, the 0.75W-rated substitutes will operate with reduced thermal stress, potentially improving reliability and component lifespan.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. All three parts use the 2010 (5025 Metric) package with dimensions of 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm). Maximum seated heights are 0.026" (0.66mm for Samsung, 0.65mm for YAGEO parts), which are within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances. Direct board-level substitution is mechanically compatible.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 certification mean for AC2010FK-0782RL?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard that specifies reliability and performance requirements for passive components used in automotive applications. AC2010FK-0782RL meets these automotive-grade standards, making it suitable for automotive, aerospace, and other mission-critical applications requiring enhanced qualification documentation and traceability.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RC5025F820CS, AC2010FK-0782RL, and RC2010FK-0782RL are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. This ensures compliance with environmental regulations and indicates no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage and assembly.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-temperature applications?

A: All three parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. They are suitable for high-temperature applications within this specified range. The temperature coefficient indicates that resistance values will vary by up to ±100ppm per degree Celsius of temperature change.
