Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F2871CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 2.87 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Specifications:

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

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 Compliant status (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)
• REACH Unaffected status (exact match required)

All four substitute parts listed meet these criteria. Variations in physical height dimensions (0.020" to 0.028" seated height) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) do not affect electrical substitution eligibility but may influence procurement and assembly logistics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS2012F2871CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Compliance Certifications: CRCW08052K87FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF2871V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT2K87 (Stackpole) carry Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards. RC0805FR-072K87L (YAGEO) does not carry AEC-Q200 designation but maintains full ROHS3 and REACH compliance.

Product Status: All substitute parts maintain Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Packaging Format: RCS2012F2871CS, CRCW08052K87FKEA, ERJ-6ENF2871V, and RMCF0805FT2K87 are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RC0805FR-072K87L is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format, which may affect procurement and assembly line compatibility.

Physical Dimensions: All parts conform to 0805 (2012 Metric) package specifications. Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect electrical performance or board-level compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW08052K87FKEA replace RCS2012F2871CS in all applications?

A: Yes. CRCW08052K87FKEA meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification of the Vishay Dale part provides additional reliability assurance for demanding applications. Physical height difference (0.020" versus 0.026") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All four substitutes share identical electrical specifications (2.87 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C). Differences exist in: (1) Manufacturer (Vishay Dale, Panasonic, YAGEO, Stackpole); (2) Automotive qualification (three parts carry AEC-Q200; YAGEO does not); (3) Packaging format (three in Tape & Reel; YAGEO in Cut Tape); (4) Physical height (ranging 0.020" to 0.028").

Q: Is the RCS2012F2871CS anti-sulfur feature critical for substitution?

A: The anti-sulfur feature of the RCS2012F2871CS is a manufacturing characteristic specific to Samsung Electro-Mechanics. All substitute parts are moisture-resistant thick film resistors with equivalent environmental protection. Functional substitution does not require identical feature nomenclature when electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent.

Q: Can I use RC0805FR-072K87L (YAGEO) in automotive applications?

A: RC0805FR-072K87L does not carry Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use CRCW08052K87FKEA, ERJ-6ENF2871V, or RMCF0805FT2K87 instead.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects procurement, storage, and assembly logistics only. Electrical performance is identical. RC0805FR-072K87L (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) and the three Tape & Reel alternatives are electrically interchangeable.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RCS2012F2871CS.
