Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F1964CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.96 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in height (seated maximum) and specific feature sets (anti-sulfur vs. automotive AEC-Q200 certification) do not disqualify substitution when all critical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four components listed—RCS2012F1964CS, CRCW08051M96FKEA, ERJ-6ENF1964V, and RC0805FR-071M96L—are Active product status and fully compliant with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection among these parts is based on availability, supply chain considerations, and application-specific certifications.

CRCW08051M96FKEA (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

ERJ-6ENF1964V (Panasonic Electronic Components) also carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and represents an alternative automotive-grade option.

RC0805FR-071M96L (YAGEO) provides a standard industrial-grade alternative with moisture-resistant characteristics aligned with the original RCS2012F1964CS specification.

RCS2012F1964CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) includes anti-sulfur features in addition to moisture resistance, providing enhanced environmental protection in corrosive atmospheres.

All parts are packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format and maintain identical electrical performance within specified tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08051M96FKEA directly replace RCS2012F1964CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The CRCW08051M96FKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. AEC-Q200 certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in standard industrial applications.

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

A: Height variations (0.020" to 0.028" seated maximum) fall within acceptable tolerances for 0805 package components. PCB layout and solder reflow profiles accommodate this range. Verify clearance in high-density layouts or applications with height constraints.

Q: Are anti-sulfur and automotive AEC-Q200 features mutually exclusive?

A: No. The provided data indicates these are distinct feature sets offered by different manufacturers. Anti-sulfur protection addresses corrosive sulfur environments, while AEC-Q200 certification addresses automotive reliability standards. Application requirements determine which feature set is necessary.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing inventory?

A: Yes, provided that supply chain documentation and traceability requirements are met. All parts share identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications. Substitution does not require circuit redesign or re-qualification testing.

Q: What packaging format is used for all substitute parts?

A: All parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated assembly processes. Reel specifications and tape pitch are consistent with 0805 package industry standards.
