Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025J154CS is determined by the following criteria:

Primary Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 150 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package form factor: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Allowable Variations:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (±1% acceptable as upgrade)
• Power Rating: 0.667W minimum (0.75W acceptable as upgrade)
• Moisture Resistance: Required feature maintained across all substitutes
• RoHS and MSL Compliance: ROHS3 and MSL Level 1 maintained

Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Upgrade Substitutes: Parts with improved tolerance (±1%) and/or higher power rating (0.75W) while maintaining all core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Similar Substitutes: Parts with enhanced features (automotive AEC-Q200 qualification) while maintaining core specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-07150KL (YAGEO): This upgrade substitute provides improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%) and increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) while maintaining identical package dimensions and thermal characteristics. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL Level 1) are maintained. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring tighter resistance tolerance without design modification.

RC2010JK-07150KL (YAGEO): This upgrade substitute maintains the original ±5% tolerance specification while providing increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). All compliance certifications and package specifications remain identical. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher power dissipation capability within the same tolerance class.

CRCW2010150KFKEF (Vishay Dale): This similar substitute provides ±1% tolerance and 0.75W power rating with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. All core electrical and mechanical specifications match the main part. Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or environments requiring enhanced reliability qualification while maintaining identical package form factor and thermal performance.

All three substitute parts are Active status products with full RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring direct compatibility with the original RC5025J154CS in terms of regulatory and environmental requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-07150KL replace RC5025J154CS in all applications?

A: RC2010FK-07150KL is a direct substitute with improved tolerance (±1% versus ±5%) and higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). The identical 2010 package, thermal coefficient, and operating temperature range ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. Applications requiring the original ±5% tolerance specification will function with improved accuracy.

Q: What is the difference between the two YAGEO upgrade options?

A: RC2010FK-07150KL provides ±1% tolerance with 0.75W power rating. RC2010JK-07150KL provides ±5% tolerance (matching the original) with 0.75W power rating. Both share identical package dimensions and thermal characteristics. Selection depends on whether tighter tolerance is required for the application.

Q: Is CRCW2010150KFKEF suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: CRCW2010150KFKEF is suitable for any application. The automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional feature that does not restrict use in general-purpose applications. The part maintains identical electrical specifications, package form factor, and compliance certifications as the original RC5025J154CS.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: RC2010FK-07150KL and RC2010JK-07150KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. CRCW2010150KFKEF is also supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The original RC5025J154CS is supplied in standard packaging. All parts use identical 2010 (5025 Metric) component form factor suitable for automated assembly.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: All substitute parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, identical to the original RC5025J154CS. No additional moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: What is the maximum height difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: RC5025J154CS maximum seated height is 0.66mm. RC2010FK-07150KL and RC2010JK-07150KL maximum seated height is 0.65mm. CRCW2010150KFKEF maximum seated height is 0.70mm. All variations remain within the 2010 package specification and do not affect PCB layout or assembly clearance.
