Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F2614CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (2.61 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W), and number of terminations (2) must match.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is required.

The identified substitutes meet all these criteria while originating from different manufacturers, providing alternative sourcing options without compromising circuit performance or reliability requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components—RCS2012F2614CS, CRCW08052M61FKEA, and RC0805FR-072M61L—are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings. They share identical electrical specifications and mechanical package dimensions, making them functionally interchangeable in circuit applications.

CRCW08052M61FKEA (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for automotive-grade applications. This component features the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm).

RC0805FR-072M61L (YAGEO) offers moisture-resistant thick film construction with a seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm), positioned between the other two options.

RCS2012F2614CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) includes anti-sulfur properties in addition to moisture resistance, with a seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm).

Selection among these substitutes depends on application-specific requirements such as automotive compliance needs, PCB assembly height constraints, and supplier availability. All maintain equivalent electrical performance and environmental compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08052M61FKEA replace RCS2012F2614CS in any application?

A: Yes, provided the application does not require anti-sulfur properties specific to the Samsung component. Both share identical electrical parameters, package dimensions, and compliance ratings. The Vishay Dale part adds AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Are there height differences that affect PCB assembly?

A: Yes. The seated heights differ: RCS2012F2614CS (0.66mm), RC0805FR-072M61L (0.60mm), and CRCW08052M61FKEA (0.50mm). In space-constrained designs, the Vishay Dale component offers the lowest profile. Verify PCB clearance requirements before substitution.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All three components specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and operate across -55°C to 155°C, ensuring equivalent thermal performance.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have unlimited shelf life and require no special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying supply chain management.

Q: Are these parts suitable for automotive applications?

A: The CRCW08052M61FKEA carries AEC-Q200 certification for automotive use. The RCS2012F2614CS and RC0805FR-072M61L are not explicitly rated for automotive applications; verify application requirements before selection.

Q: Can packaging format affect substitution decisions?

A: All three components are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format is consistent across substitutes and does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.
