RC5025J106CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025J106CS is a 10 MOhms ±5% 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) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is classified as Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when they maintain the same resistance value, package footprint, and operating temperature range while meeting or exceeding the original specifications for tolerance and power rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025J106CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 10 MOhms (exact match)
• Package footprint: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (minimum requirement)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (matching specification)
• Composition: Thick Film (matching specification)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (matching specification)

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Tolerance: May be equal to or tighter than ±5% (±1% is acceptable as an upgrade)
• Power rating: Must be equal to or greater than 0.667W (0.75W is acceptable as an upgrade)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (mandatory)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (mandatory)

The identified substitute parts meet all core compatibility requirements and maintain or improve upon the original specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-0710ML (YAGEO): This substitute provides improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%) and increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) while maintaining identical package dimensions and operating temperature range. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection of this part is appropriate when tighter tolerance requirements or higher power dissipation margins are required in the circuit design.

CRCW201010M0FKEF (Vishay Dale): This substitute offers the same tolerance improvement (±1%) and power rating increase (0.75W) as the YAGEO option. Additionally, this part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The maximum seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm), which is 0.002" greater than the original part. Selection of this part is appropriate for automotive applications or when AEC-Q200 qualification is a design requirement. Height variation must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Both substitute parts maintain full compatibility with the original RC5025J106CS in terms of resistance value, package footprint, operating temperature range, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0710ML or CRCW201010M0FKEF be used as direct replacements for RC5025J106CS?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain the same 10 MOhms resistance value, 2010 (5025 Metric) package footprint, and -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range. The substitute parts provide equal or improved specifications (tighter tolerance and higher power rating). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for standard PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RC2010FK-0710ML (YAGEO) and CRCW201010M0FKEF (Vishay Dale) both provide ±1% tolerance and 0.75W power rating. The primary distinction is that CRCW201010M0FKEF carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The maximum seated height differs by 0.002" (CRCW is 0.028" versus RC2010FK at 0.026"). Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Does the tolerance improvement from ±5% to ±1% affect circuit performance?

A: Tolerance specification defines the acceptable resistance variation from the nominal 10 MOhms value. Tighter tolerance (±1%) provides greater precision and reduced variation compared to the original ±5% specification. Circuit performance impact depends on application requirements. The substitute parts do not degrade performance relative to the original part.

Q: Are there height considerations for PCB layout?

A: The original RC5025J106CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). RC2010FK-0710ML maintains 0.026" (0.65mm). CRCW201010M0FKEF has a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm), which is 0.002" taller. For applications with tight vertical clearance constraints, verify that the CRCW part height is acceptable for the PCB assembly.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. RC5025J106CS, RC2010FK-0710ML, and CRCW201010M0FKEF are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: When should CRCW201010M0FKEF be selected over RC2010FK-0710ML?

A: CRCW201010M0FKEF should be selected when AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is required by design specification or application standards. Both parts are functionally equivalent for non-automotive applications.
