RC5025J753CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025J753CS is a 75 kOhms ±5% 0.667W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is designed for general-purpose applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements permit tolerance upgrades, power rating increases, or when sourcing constraints necessitate alternative manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility within the 2010 package specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the RC5025J753CS is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Resistance value: 75 kOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match or better required)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• MSL Rating: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

Allowable Upgrade Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±5% baseline; upgrades to ±1% are permissible
• Power Rating: 0.667W baseline; upgrades to 0.75W are permissible
• Features: Moisture Resistant baseline; upgrades to Automotive AEC-Q200 are permissible

Product Status Consideration:

• Active status parts are preferred for new designs
• Not For New Designs status parts are listed for reference but should not be selected for new applications

All substitute parts listed maintain identical physical dimensions (0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm) and electrical interface (2 terminations) with the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Preferred for New Designs):

RC2010FK-0775KL (YAGEO) is the recommended primary substitute. This part maintains Active product status, upgrades tolerance from ±5% to ±1%, increases power rating from 0.667W to 0.75W, and is available in Tape & Reel packaging. All electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible with the RC5025J753CS specification.

Secondary Substitutes (Active Status):

CRCW201075K0FKEF (Vishay Dale) and RMCF2010FT75K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are functionally equivalent alternatives with Active product status. Both parts provide identical electrical specifications to RC2010FK-0775KL and include Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which extends application scope to automotive environments while maintaining general-purpose compatibility.

Legacy Reference (Not Recommended for New Designs):

ERJ-12SF7502U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is listed with Not For New Designs product status. This part is electrically and mechanically compatible but should not be selected for new circuit designs due to its discontinued design status.

Selection Basis:

All substitute parts comply with ROHS3 regulations, maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, and operate across the identical -55°C to 155°C temperature range. The choice between active substitutes depends on packaging requirements (Tape & Reel availability), supply chain considerations, and whether automotive AEC-Q200 certification is required for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2010FK-0775KL replace RC5025J753CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. RC2010FK-0775KL is a direct substitute with improved tolerance (±1% vs ±5%) and higher power rating (0.75W vs 0.667W). The 2010 package, resistance value, temperature range, and all regulatory compliance parameters are identical. The upgrade in specifications does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Vishay Dale versions?

A: RC2010FK-0775KL (YAGEO) and CRCW201075K0FKEF (Vishay Dale) are electrically identical with matching tolerance, power rating, and temperature specifications. The primary difference is that Vishay Dale's CRCW201075K0FKEF includes Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, making it suitable for automotive applications. Both are Active status parts with equivalent availability.

Q: Why is ERJ-12SF7502U marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-12SF7502U carries Not For New Designs product status, indicating that Panasonic has discontinued this design line. While the part remains electrically and mechanically compatible with RC5025J753CS, it should not be selected for new circuit development. Active alternatives such as RC2010FK-0775KL, CRCW201075K0FKEF, or RMCF2010FT75K0 are preferred.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: No. RC5025J753CS is supplied in bulk packaging, while all listed substitutes (RC2010FK-0775KL, CRCW201075K0FKEF, ERJ-12SF7502U, and RMCF2010FT75K0) are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and offers improved handling and traceability compared to bulk packaging.

Q: Can I use a substitute with higher power rating in a circuit designed for 0.667W?

A: Yes. Upgrading from 0.667W to 0.75W power rating is a safe substitution. The higher power rating indicates greater thermal dissipation capability, which does not create compatibility issues in circuits designed for lower power dissipation. The component will operate within its thermal limits in the original application.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes (RC2010FK-0775KL, CRCW201075K0FKEF, ERJ-12SF7502U, and RMCF2010FT75K0) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited). They share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8533.21.0030) classifications with the original RC5025J753CS part.

Q: What does ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient mean for substitution?

A: Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C specifies the resistance change per degree Celsius across the operating temperature range. All listed substitutes maintain this identical specification, ensuring equivalent temperature stability performance. This parameter is non-negotiable for substitution compatibility.

Q: Is Automotive AEC-Q200 certification required for general-purpose applications?

A: No. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is an additional qualification that extends component suitability to automotive environments. For general-purpose applications, parts with or without this certification are functionally equivalent. The certification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.
