RC5025J162CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025J162CS is a 1.6 kOhms ±5% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated for 0.667W (2/3W) power dissipation in a 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is moisture resistant 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).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching the core electrical specifications: resistance value, package form factor, composition type, and environmental operating parameters. Substitute components may offer improved tolerance grades or increased power ratings while maintaining functional compatibility within the same package class.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC5025J162CS are qualified based on the following substitution criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.6 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package form factor: 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)
• Moisture resistance: Required feature
• RoHS3 compliance: Required certification
• MSL Level 1: Required rating

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: May improve from ±5% to ±1% (tighter tolerance is backward compatible)
• Power rating: May increase from 0.667W to 0.75W (higher power rating is backward compatible)
• Manufacturer: Different qualified manufacturers acceptable
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel acceptable as alternative to standard packaging

The two substitute parts identified (RC2010FK-071K6L and RC2010JK-071K6L) both originate from YAGEO and maintain all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced specifications in tolerance and power rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-071K6L (YAGEO) - Premium Tolerance Option: This substitute provides improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%) and increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). All mandatory electrical and environmental parameters match the original RC5025J162CS. Physical dimensions remain compatible with existing PCB layouts. ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained. This part is suitable for applications requiring tighter resistance value control or higher thermal margin.

RC2010JK-071K6L (YAGEO) - Direct Tolerance Match with Power Upgrade: This substitute maintains the ±5% tolerance specification of the original part while providing increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). All mandatory electrical and environmental parameters match the original RC5025J162CS. Physical dimensions remain compatible with existing PCB layouts. ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained. This part is suitable for applications requiring direct tolerance equivalence with enhanced power dissipation capability.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by YAGEO, an active producer in the thick film resistor category, and maintain full compliance with all regulatory and environmental certifications required for the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-071K6L or RC2010JK-071K6L be used as direct replacements for RC5025J162CS on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts maintain identical package dimensions (2010 / 5025 Metric), identical footprint geometry, and identical termination configuration (2 terminations). Physical PCB compatibility is confirmed. Electrical compatibility is confirmed through matching resistance value, operating temperature range, and composition type.

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

A: RC2010FK-071K6L offers ±1% tolerance with 0.75W power rating. RC2010JK-071K6L offers ±5% tolerance with 0.75W power rating. Both maintain all other electrical and environmental specifications identical to the original RC5025J162CS. Selection depends on tolerance requirements of the specific application.

Q: Does the increased power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W) affect circuit performance?

A: No. Higher power rating indicates increased thermal capability and does not alter electrical behavior. The component will operate identically in circuits designed for 0.667W rating. The higher rating provides additional thermal margin during operation.

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

A: The substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. The original RC5025J162CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Both formats are standard for 2010 package resistors and are compatible with automated assembly equipment.

Q: Do all three parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. RC5025J162CS, RC2010FK-071K6L, and RC2010JK-071K6L are all ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and rated MSL Level 1 (Unlimited). All three parts maintain identical environmental and regulatory certification status.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and does it differ between parts?

A: All three parts specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This parameter is identical across the main part and both substitutes, ensuring consistent thermal stability across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.
