Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 16.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Number of Terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on power rating:

• Direct Equivalents (0.125W / 1/8W): AC0805FR-0716K2L, CRCW080516K2FKEA, CRCW080516K2FKTA, ERJ-6ENF1622V, RC0805FR-0716K2L, RMCF0805FT16K2
• Higher Power Rating (0.5W / 1/2W): CRCW080516K2FKEAHP, RCS080516K2FKEA

Higher power-rated substitutes are electrically compatible but occupy the same physical footprint with enhanced thermal performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Direct Electrical & Mechanical Equivalents):

AC0805FR-0716K2L, CRCW080516K2FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1622V, RC0805FR-0716K2L, and RMCF0805FT16K2 are direct substitutes with identical electrical specifications, 0.125W power rating, and ROHS3 compliance. These parts maintain full compatibility with the original RCS2012F1622CS in standard applications.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives:

AC0805FR-0716K2L, CRCW080516K2FKEA, CRCW080516K2FKTA, ERJ-6ENF1622V, and RMCF0805FT16K2 carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These are suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring formal qualification documentation.

Enhanced Power Rating Substitutes:

CRCW080516K2FKEAHP and RCS080516K2FKEA provide 0.5W (1/2W) power rating within the same 0805 package footprint. These are applicable when circuit design requires higher power dissipation capability while maintaining identical resistance and tolerance specifications. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and AEC-Q200 qualification.

Compliance Consideration:

CRCW080516K2FKTA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. This part is not recommended for new designs or applications requiring ROHS3 compliance certification.

Packaging Format:

ERJ-6ENF1622V and RC0805FR-0716K2L are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel format, differing from the standard Tape & Reel packaging of the original part. Verify packaging requirements for automated assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW080516K2FKEAHP (0.5W) be used as a direct replacement for RCS2012F1622CS (0.125W)?

A: Yes, electrically and mechanically. The higher power rating provides enhanced thermal performance and pulse withstanding capability. The component occupies the same 0805 footprint and maintains identical resistance, tolerance, and temperature specifications. Circuit design must accommodate the higher power rating if thermal management is a design constraint.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous carrier tape suitable for high-speed automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel packaging provides components in shorter tape segments with reel options for lower-volume or mixed-component assembly processes. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly equipment and production volume requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts AEC-Q200 qualified?

A: No. RCS2012F1622CS (Samsung) and RC0805FR-0716K2L (YAGEO standard series) do not carry AEC-Q200 qualification. AC0805FR-0716K2L (YAGEO automotive), CRCW080516K2FKEA, CRCW080516K2FKEAHP, CRCW080516K2FKTA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1622V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT16K2 (Stackpole) are AEC-Q200 qualified. Automotive applications require AEC-Q200 certified parts.

Q: Why is CRCW080516K2FKTA not recommended?

A: CRCW080516K2FKTA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected. Modern design standards and regulatory requirements mandate ROHS3 compliance. This part should not be selected for new designs unless legacy system maintenance specifically requires it.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient indicates resistance value drift across the operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). All listed parts maintain ±100ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance across the full temperature spectrum. This specification is critical for precision analog circuits and temperature-sensitive applications.

Q: Can I substitute parts with different height specifications?

A: Height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm) are within normal manufacturing tolerances for 0805 components. All listed parts maintain the same 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) footprint. Height differences do not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility. Verify clearance requirements for specific applications with restricted vertical space.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicates the component requires no special moisture protection during storage, handling, or assembly. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating the need for dry-pack storage or baking procedures prior to reflow soldering.
