Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC5025J200CS is determined by the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 20 Ohms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (physical and electrical footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (material consistency)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (thermal stability equivalence)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (thermal envelope match)
• RoHS3 Compliance: Required for regulatory alignment
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (handling and storage compatibility)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (±1% represents improved precision)
• Power Rating: 0.667W or higher (0.75W represents increased thermal capacity)
• Packaging Format: Tape & Reel acceptable as alternative to standard packaging

All identified substitute parts meet the mandatory compatibility parameters. Variations in tolerance and power rating represent either equivalent or upgraded specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC2010FK-0720RL (YAGEO - Upgrade Category)

This part provides improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%) and increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W) while maintaining identical package dimensions, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications. Selection is appropriate when circuit design requires tighter resistance tolerance or enhanced thermal margin. Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance confirm ongoing availability and regulatory alignment.

RC2010JK-0720RL (YAGEO - Upgrade Category)

This part maintains the original ±5% tolerance specification while providing increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W). Package, thermal, and compliance characteristics are identical to the main part. Selection is appropriate when thermal margin enhancement is required without tolerance specification changes. Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance confirm ongoing availability and regulatory alignment.

CRCW201020R0FKEF (Vishay Dale - Similar Category)

This part provides improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%), increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.667W), and automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q200). Package dimensions, thermal characteristics, and compliance certifications are equivalent. Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or when automotive-grade reliability qualification is specified. Active product status and full RoHS3 compliance confirm ongoing availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0720RL replace RC5025J200CS in all applications?

A: RC2010FK-0720RL is electrically and mechanically compatible. The ±1% tolerance is tighter than the original ±5%, and the 0.75W power rating exceeds the 0.667W requirement. Both parts share identical package dimensions (2010/5025 Metric), thermal coefficients (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS3, MSL 1). Substitution is valid for direct replacement.

Q: What is the difference between RC2010JK-0720RL and RC2010FK-0720RL?

A: Both parts are manufactured by YAGEO in the 2010 package with 0.75W power rating. The primary difference is tolerance specification: RC2010JK-0720RL maintains ±5% tolerance (matching the original part), while RC2010FK-0720RL provides ±1% tolerance. Selection depends on circuit tolerance requirements.

Q: Is CRCW201020R0FKEF suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. CRCW201020R0FKEF meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility requirements for the RC5025J200CS. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. The part is RoHS3 compliant and carries identical thermal and compliance specifications.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these parts?

A: RC5025J200CS is supplied in standard packaging. RC2010FK-0720RL, RC2010JK-0720RL, and CRCW201020R0FKEF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Tape & Reel format is standard for high-volume production environments.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical physical dimensions?

A: All parts share the same 2010 (5025 Metric) package specification with dimensions 0.197" L x 0.098" W (5.00mm x 2.50mm). Height-seated maximum values are 0.026" (0.66mm) for RC5025J200CS and 0.026" (0.65mm) for YAGEO parts, and 0.028" (0.70mm) for Vishay Dale CRCW201020R0FKEF. These minor height variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect footprint compatibility.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all parts?

A: All parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. HTSUS classification is 8533.21.0030 for all parts.
