Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F1652CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (16.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must be identical across all substitute candidates.

Mechanical Parameters: Package designation (0805 / 2012 Metric), number of terminations (2), and physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm) must match the original component.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance, Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, and REACH Unaffected status are required for all substitutes.

Packaging: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format matching the original specification.

Four substitute parts meet these criteria: CRCW080516K5FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF1652V (Panasonic Electronic Components), RC0805FR-0716K5L (YAGEO), and RMCF0805FT16K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are qualified for direct replacement of the RCS2012F1652CS based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical compatibility, and compliance certifications. Selection among substitutes is determined by application-specific requirements and availability:

CRCW080516K5FKEA (Vishay Dale): Automotive AEC-Q200 rated. Lowest seated height (0.020" / 0.50mm). Highest inventory availability (94,376 pcs). Suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification.

ERJ-6ENF1652V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Automotive AEC-Q200 rated. Highest seated height (0.028" / 0.70mm). Inventory availability (51,284 pcs). Suitable for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 requirement.

RC0805FR-0716K5L (YAGEO): Moisture-resistant construction without automotive rating. Mid-range seated height (0.024" / 0.60mm). Inventory availability (48,880 pcs). Suitable for general industrial and consumer applications.

RMCF0805FT16K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Automotive AEC-Q200 rated. Seated height (0.026" / 0.65mm) matches original component. Inventory availability (33,440 pcs). Suitable for automotive applications with AEC-Q200 requirement.

All parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1, and REACH Unaffected status. Seated height variations are within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 package format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW080516K5FKEA replace RCS2012F1652CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. CRCW080516K5FKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of RCS2012F1652CS. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in non-automotive circuits. The component is fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of seated height differences among substitute parts?

A: Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 package components. All substitute parts are mechanically compatible with PCB layouts designed for 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. Height differences do not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts (CRCW080516K5FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1652V, RC0805FR-0716K5L, RMCF0805FT16K5) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, matching the original RCS2012F1652CS packaging specification.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW080516K5FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1652V, and RMCF0805FT16K5 are all qualified with Automotive AEC-Q200 rating. Selection among these three is based on availability, seated height requirements, and supply chain preferences. All three are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain RoHS3 and REACH compliance?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the original RCS2012F1652CS component.

Q: Is tolerance specification identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ±1% tolerance specification, identical to the original RCS2012F1652CS. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) are also identical across all parts.
