Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F1623CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 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
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

All four substitute parts meet these critical parameters. Differences exist only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), physical height tolerances, and optional automotive certifications (AEC-Q200). These variations do not affect electrical performance or core functionality.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Electrical Equivalence: All four substitute parts are electrically equivalent to the RCS2012F1623CS. Selection between them depends on non-electrical factors:

Packaging Considerations:

• Tape & Reel (TR) format: RCS2012F1623CS, ERJ-6ENF1623V, RMCF0805FT162K
• Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format: CRCW0805162KFKEA, RC0805FR-07162KL

Automotive Applications: For designs requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, select from:

• CRCW0805162KFKEA (Vishay Dale)
• ERJ-6ENF1623V (Panasonic Electronic Components)
• RMCF0805FT162K (Stackpole Electronics Inc)

Standard Industrial Applications: For non-automotive applications without AEC-Q200 requirement:

• RC0805FR-07162KL (YAGEO) offers high inventory availability
• RCS2012F1623CS (Samsung) provides anti-sulfur feature

Physical Height Constraints: Applications with strict PCB height limitations should reference the Height - Seated (Max) specification. CRCW0805162KFKEA offers the lowest profile at 0.020" (0.50mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805162KFKEA replace RCS2012F1623CS in any application?

A: Yes, for electrical functionality. CRCW0805162KFKEA is electrically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature specifications. Differences are packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel) and physical height (0.020" versus 0.026"). Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment and PCB layout constraints before substitution.

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

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. Three substitute parts carry this certification: CRCW0805162KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF1623V, and RMCF0805FT162K. The original RCS2012F1623CS does not specify AEC-Q200. Use AEC-Q200 rated parts only when automotive qualification is explicitly required by design specifications.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All five parts, including the main part RCS2012F1623CS and all four substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) is continuous reel packaging for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel is pre-cut tape format suitable for lower volumes or mixed-component pick-and-place operations. Selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment capability.

Q: Can I use ERJ-6ENF1623V if the original RCS2012F1623CS is unavailable?

A: Yes. ERJ-6ENF1623CS is electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical electrical specifications. It offers higher inventory availability (85,106 pcs) and includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification. Packaging is Tape & Reel format, matching the original.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RMCF0805FT162K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) has the highest inventory at 170,932 pcs. ERJ-6ENF1623V (Panasonic) follows with 85,106 pcs. Both are suitable for immediate procurement needs.
