RCS2012F1073CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS2012F1073CS is a 107 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant characteristics. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F1073CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 107 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All four substitute parts listed meet these mandatory parameters. Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on additional certifications:

Category A - Automotive AEC-Q200 Qualified: CRCW0805107KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic), RMCF0805FT107K (Stackpole Electronics)

Category B - Standard Industrial Grade: RC0805FR-07107KL (YAGEO)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Standard Industrial Applications: All four substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F1073CS. Selection between substitutes should be based on:

1. Inventory Availability: ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic) offers the highest stock level at 109,654 pieces. CRCW0805107KFKEA (Vishay) provides 19,100 pieces. RC0805FR-07107KL (YAGEO) has 43,873 pieces. RMCF0805FT107K (Stackpole) has 4,111 pieces.

2. Packaging Format: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format except CRCW0805107KFKEA which is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format.

3. Automotive Applications: If AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is required, select from CRCW0805107KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1073V, or RMCF0805FT107K. The RCS2012F1073CS and RC0805FR-07107KL do not carry automotive certification.

4. Physical Height Constraints: CRCW0805107KFKEA has the lowest maximum seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm). ERJ-6ENF1073V has the highest at 0.028" (0.70mm). For space-constrained PCB layouts, CRCW0805107KFKEA is preferred.

5. Compliance Status: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805107KFKEA replace RCS2012F1073CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. CRCW0805107KFKEA meets all electrical and mechanical parameters of RCS2012F1073CS. The AEC-Q200 automotive certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in standard industrial applications. The lower seated height (0.020" vs 0.026") may provide design advantages in compact layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts in terms of reliability?

A: All substitute parts share identical electrical specifications (107 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C). Reliability differences are determined by manufacturer quality systems and certifications. Three substitutes (Vishay, Panasonic, Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability standards. YAGEO RC0805FR-07107KL does not carry this certification but meets all base electrical and environmental requirements.

Q: Are there physical compatibility concerns when substituting these parts?

A: All parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Seated height varies between 0.020" and 0.028", which is within typical PCB assembly tolerances. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory position?

A: ERJ-6ENF1073V (Panasonic) has the highest stock level at 109,654 pieces, followed by RC0805FR-07107KL (YAGEO) at 43,873 pieces. For immediate availability, these two options provide the strongest supply position.

Q: Can I use RC0805FR-07107KL in automotive applications?

A: RC0805FR-07107KL meets all electrical and environmental specifications required for automotive use. However, it does not carry AEC-Q200 certification. If your design specification explicitly requires AEC-Q200 qualification, select CRCW0805107KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1073V, or RMCF0805FT107K instead.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Level 1 rating?

A: MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed parts, including the main part and substitutes, carry this rating, ensuring consistent handling requirements across all options.
