Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F1823CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 182 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package designation: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status
• ECCN: EAR99

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RCS2012F1823CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are qualified for direct replacement of the RCS2012F1823CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Selection among substitutes may be influenced by the following factors:

CRCW0805182KFKEA (Vishay Dale): This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and features the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), making it suitable for space-constrained applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

ERJ-6ENF1823V (Panasonic): This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification with the highest seated height at 0.028" (0.70mm). It offers the largest inventory availability at 71,866 pieces.

RC0805FR-07182KL (YAGEO): This part features moisture-resistant characteristics matching the original RCS2012F1823CS and offers the largest inventory availability at 365,564 pieces with a seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm).

All parts maintain identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and compliance certifications. Component selection should be based on availability, lead time, and specific application requirements regarding automotive qualification or inventory positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805182KFKEA replace RCS2012F1823CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (182 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), use 0805 package format, and maintain ROHS3 compliance with MSL 1 rating. The CRCW0805182KFKEA includes additional AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between substitute parts?

A: Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") reflect manufacturing tolerances across different suppliers. All heights remain within acceptable limits for standard 0805 package applications. Height differences become relevant only in space-constrained PCB designs with minimal clearance above components.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for moisture-sensitive environments?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original RCS2012F1823CS, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. These components do not require special moisture protection during storage or handling.

Q: Does the automotive AEC-Q200 qualification on substitute parts affect non-automotive applications?

A: No. AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional quality standard that exceeds standard requirements. Parts with AEC-Q200 certification are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and provide equivalent or superior reliability characteristics.

Q: Can inventory levels influence component selection?

A: Inventory availability may affect lead time and cost. RC0805FR-07182KL (YAGEO) offers the largest stock at 365,564 pieces, while CRCW0805182KFKEA (Vishay Dale) offers 45,945 pieces. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical regardless of manufacturer or inventory position.

Q: Is package compatibility guaranteed across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All parts use identical 0805 (2012 Metric) package designation with matching physical dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) and two terminations, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility.
