Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F2260CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 226 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical & Package Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

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

All four substitute parts listed below meet these criteria. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification or Anti-Sulfur coating represent enhanced specifications that do not prevent substitution but may provide additional design margin for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS2012F2260CS and are suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring a 226 Ohm ±1% 0.125W 0805 thick film chip resistor.

CRCW0805226RFKEA (Vishay Dale): Active product status with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Highest inventory availability at 18,129 pieces. Height-seated maximum of 0.020" (0.50mm) represents the lowest profile among all options. Suitable for space-constrained designs and automotive-grade applications.

ERJ-6ENF2260V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Active product status with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Largest inventory availability at 95,025 pieces. Height-seated maximum of 0.028" (0.70mm). Recommended for applications requiring maximum supply chain availability and automotive qualification.

RC0805FR-07226RL (YAGEO): Active product status with Moisture Resistant feature. Inventory availability of 31,898 pieces. Height-seated maximum of 0.024" (0.60mm). Suitable for general industrial applications with moisture exposure considerations.

RMCF0805FT226R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Active product status with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Inventory availability of 5,562 pieces. Height-seated maximum of 0.026" (0.65mm). Suitable for automotive applications where Stackpole qualification is required.

All parts comply with RoHS3 and REACH requirements. Selection should be based on supply availability, specific application requirements (automotive vs. industrial), and design constraints related to component height.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805226RFKEA replace RCS2012F2260CS in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (226 Ohms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), identical package format (0805 / 2012 Metric), and identical compliance ratings (RoHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected). The CRCW0805226RFKEA includes Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which represents an enhanced specification that does not prevent substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for equivalence. Differences exist in: (1) Automotive AEC-Q200 certification status (present in Vishay Dale, Panasonic, and Stackpole; absent in YAGEO), (2) Additional features such as Anti-Sulfur or Moisture Resistant coatings, (3) Component height-seated maximum values ranging from 0.020" to 0.028", and (4) Inventory availability levels.

Q: Are there any height or dimensional constraints I should consider?

A: Yes. While all parts conform to the 0805 (2012 Metric) package standard with identical length (0.079") and width (0.049"), height-seated maximum values vary: CRCW0805226RFKEA at 0.020" (0.50mm) is the lowest profile; ERJ-6ENF2260V at 0.028" (0.70mm) is the highest. For space-constrained PCB designs, verify component height clearance against your specific layout requirements.

Q: Which substitute part has the best supply availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF2260V (Panasonic Electronic Components) has the highest inventory at 95,025 pieces. RC0805FR-07226RL (YAGEO) is second with 31,898 pieces. CRCW0805226RFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 18,129 pieces. RMCF0805FT226R (Stackpole) has the lowest at 5,562 pieces.

Q: Do I need Automotive AEC-Q200 certification for my application?

A: Automotive AEC-Q200 certification is required only if your design is specified for automotive applications or if your customer requires automotive-grade components. For general industrial applications, parts without this certification (RC0805FR-07226RL) are fully equivalent. All parts meet identical electrical and environmental compliance standards.

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts on the same PCB?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. Mixing different manufacturers on the same PCB is permissible from an engineering standpoint. However, verify with your procurement and quality assurance processes regarding supplier qualification and traceability requirements.
