Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F1152CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 11.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in physical height, packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), and optional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not preclude substitution but may influence selection based on application requirements and compliance needs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW080511K5FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute is fully compliant with RoHS3 regulations and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. It is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and environmental compliance. Inventory availability is substantial at 23,995 pieces.

CRCW080511K5FKTA (Vishay Dale): This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected. Selection of this substitute is restricted to applications where RoHS3 compliance is not required. Inventory availability is limited at 1,142 pieces.

ERJ-6ENF1152V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is RoHS3 compliant. It is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® packaging formats. Inventory availability is high at 88,689 pieces. Physical height is 0.028" (0.70mm), which is the maximum among substitute options.

RC0805FR-0711K5L (YAGEO): This substitute is RoHS3 compliant with moisture-resistant construction. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Inventory availability is the highest among all substitutes at 141,314 pieces. Physical height is 0.024" (0.60mm).

RMCF0805FT11K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): This substitute carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is RoHS3 compliant. It is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging. Inventory availability is 31,885 pieces. Physical height is 0.026" (0.65mm), matching the original part specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW080511K5FKTA be used as a direct substitute for RCS2012F1152CS?

A: CRCW080511K5FKTA meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. However, it is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, whereas the RCS2012F1152CS is RoHS3 compliant. Selection depends on application compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. Substitutes carrying this certification (CRCW080511K5FKEA, CRCW080511K5FKTA, ERJ-6ENF1152V, RMCF0805FT11K5) are qualified for automotive applications. The original RCS2012F1152CS does not carry this certification.

Q: Are there differences in physical height among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. Physical heights range from 0.020" (0.50mm) for Vishay Dale CRCW parts to 0.028" (0.70mm) for the Panasonic ERJ-6ENF1152V. The original RCS2012F1152CS is 0.026" (0.66mm). Height variations may affect PCB layout and clearance considerations.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: Most substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, matching the original part. The Panasonic ERJ-6ENF1152V is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® format, which may require different handling and placement equipment.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All substitute parts, including the original RCS2012F1152CS, have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC0805FR-0711K5L from YAGEO has the highest inventory availability at 141,314 pieces, followed by ERJ-6ENF1152V from Panasonic at 88,689 pieces.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Five of the six substitutes are RoHS3 compliant. CRCW080511K5FKTA is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should align with application regulatory requirements.
