Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F2610CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (261 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.125W) must be identical across all substitute parts.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm).

Material Composition: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes.

Environmental Performance: Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match the original specification.

Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating to ensure compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

The identified substitute parts (AC0805FR-07261RL, CRCW0805261RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF2610V, RC0805FR-07261RL) satisfy all these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RCS2012F2610CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are Active product status components with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing environments and storage conditions.

AC0805FR-07261RL (YAGEO): Includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards.

CRCW0805261RFKEA (Vishay Dale): Includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with the lowest maximum seated height (0.020" / 0.50mm). Appropriate for space-constrained PCB layouts and automotive applications.

ERJ-6ENF2610V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with highest inventory availability (121,793 Pcs). Suitable for high-volume production requirements and automotive applications.

RC0805FR-07261RL (YAGEO): General-purpose thick film resistor without automotive qualification. Highest inventory availability (243,367 Pcs) for non-automotive applications. Moisture-resistant construction matches original component features.

Selection between these substitutes depends on application requirements: automotive applications benefit from AEC-Q200 qualified parts, while general-purpose applications may utilize the RC0805FR-07261RL variant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC0805FR-07261RL replace RCS2012F2610CS in all applications?

A: AC0805FR-07261RL is electrically and mechanically equivalent to RCS2012F2610CS. Both components share identical resistance (261 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package (0805), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). AC0805FR-07261RL includes additional Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications where the original component may not have been specified.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW0805261RFKEA and RC0805FR-07261RL?

A: Both parts are electrically identical 261 Ohms ±1% 0.125W 0805 resistors with ROHS3 compliance. CRCW0805261RFKEA includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and has a lower maximum seated height (0.020" vs 0.024"), making it preferable for space-constrained designs. RC0805FR-07261RL is a general-purpose variant without automotive qualification but with higher inventory availability.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB footprint?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 0805 (2012 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") do not affect PCB footprint compatibility but may impact clearance in space-constrained assemblies.

Q: Which substitute part has the best availability?

A: RC0805FR-07261RL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory availability at 243,367 Pcs. ERJ-6ENF2610V (Panasonic) is the second option with 121,793 Pcs available.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (AC0805FR-07261RL, CRCW0805261RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF2610V, RC0805FR-07261RL) are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, matching the original RCS2012F2610CS specifications.

Q: Can ERJ-6ENF2610V be used in automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERJ-6ENF2610V includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and is suitable for automotive applications requiring this certification standard.
