Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F1621CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 1.62 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)
• REACH Unaffected status (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria without exception. Substitute parts may include additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) or alternative packaging formats (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), which do not disqualify substitution but represent enhanced or alternative specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts (CRCW08051K62FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1621V, RC0805FR-071K62L, RMCF0805FT1K62) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F1621CS and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating.

Selection Considerations Based on Provided Specifications:

CRCW08051K62FKEA (Vishay Dale): Carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Seated height is 0.020" (0.50mm), the lowest among all options. Tape & Reel packaging. Inventory: 27,116 units.

ERJ-6ENF1621V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Seated height is 0.028" (0.70mm), the highest among all options. Tape & Reel packaging. Inventory: 282,503 units (highest availability).

RC0805FR-071K62L (YAGEO): No automotive qualification specified. Seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm). Available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging format. Inventory: 139,625 units.

RMCF0805FT1K62 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Seated height is 0.026" (0.65mm). Tape & Reel packaging. Inventory: 79,730 units.

Component selection should be based on application requirements regarding automotive qualification status, packaging format preference, and PCB assembly height constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08051K62FKEA replace RCS2012F1621CS in any application?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (1.62 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W), identical package dimensions (0805 / 2012 Metric), and equivalent compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The CRCW08051K62FKEA includes additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which does not prevent substitution in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging (as specified for RC0805FR-071K62L) provides components on cut tape segments, typically for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Does the height difference between substitute parts affect PCB assembly?

A: Seated height variations range from 0.020" (0.50mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm). These differences are within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 components. Height selection becomes relevant only if the application has specific clearance constraints or if components are mounted in close proximity to other tall components. For standard applications, all substitute parts are mechanically compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (CRCW08051K62FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1621V, RC0805FR-071K62L, RMCF0805FT1K62) carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the original RCS2012F1621CS specification.

Q: What does AEC-Q200 automotive qualification mean?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. Components bearing this certification have undergone additional reliability testing and environmental stress screening required for automotive applications. This qualification does not affect substitution in non-automotive applications but indicates enhanced reliability screening.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Mixing manufacturers in the same assembly does not create compatibility issues from an electrical or mechanical standpoint. Manufacturing and supply chain considerations may influence this decision.
