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.
