RCS2012F1582CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS2012F1582CS is a 15.8 kOhms ±1% 0.125W chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is Active in product status and ROHS3 compliant. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when applications require alternative sourcing, higher inventory availability, or specific certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RCS2012F1582CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (15.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) must match.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric) and number of terminations (2) must be identical to ensure PCB footprint compatibility and assembly process compatibility.

Compliance Parameters: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is an additional feature available in certain substitute options but is not required for general substitution.

Composition: Thick film construction is consistent across all listed substitutes.

All four substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore direct electrical and mechanical equivalents of the RCS2012F1582CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F1582CS and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the original part is specified.

For general industrial applications: CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale), RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO), and RMCF0805FT15K8 (Stackpole) are all valid selections. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications and compliance certifications.

For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification: CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT15K8 (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 certification. The RCS2012F1582CS does not specify AEC-Q200 qualification.

For high-volume procurement: ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic) offers the highest inventory availability at 102,658 pieces. CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides 14,073 pieces and RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) provides 11,774 pieces.

For packaging format: Most substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. ERJ-6ENF1582V is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, which may affect assembly line compatibility depending on equipment specifications.

For height-constrained PCB designs: CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) has the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), followed by RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) at 0.024" (0.60mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW080515K8FKEA replace RCS2012F1582CS directly?

A: Yes. CRCW080515K8FKEA is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both are 15.8 kOhms ±1% 0.125W 0805 thick film resistors with identical temperature coefficients and operating ranges. CRCW080515K8FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which the RCS2012F1582CS does not specify.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts share identical electrical specifications (15.8 kOhms, ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). Differences exist in: (1) seated height, ranging from 0.020" to 0.028"; (2) automotive AEC-Q200 certification availability; (3) packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape); (4) inventory availability; (5) manufacturer series designation.

Q: Is AEC-Q200 certification required for substitution?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an additional qualification feature. The RCS2012F1582CS does not specify AEC-Q200. Substitutes with AEC-Q200 (CRCW080515K8FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1582V, RMCF0805FT15K8) are suitable for both automotive and general applications. Substitutes without AEC-Q200 specification (RC0805FR-0715K8L) are suitable for general applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: Packaging format affects procurement and assembly logistics but not electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tape & Reel (TR) format is standard for automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format (ERJ-6ENF1582V) may require different handling equipment. Verify assembly line compatibility with your manufacturing process.

Q: Can I use ERJ-6ENF1582V if my equipment requires Tape & Reel format?

A: ERJ-6ENF1582V is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. If your assembly equipment requires standard Tape & Reel format, select CRCW080515K8FKEA, RC0805FR-0715K8L, or RMCF0805FT15K8 instead.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the RCS2012F1582CS compliance profile.

Q: Which substitute has the best availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF1582V (Panasonic) has the highest inventory at 102,658 pieces. CRCW080515K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) has 14,073 pieces, and RC0805FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) has 11,774 pieces.

Q: Does seated height matter for my application?

A: Seated height differences range from 0.020" to 0.028" across substitutes. For standard PCB designs, these variations are negligible. For height-constrained applications (thin form factor devices), CRCW080515K8FKEA at 0.020" maximum seated height is the optimal choice.
