Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F2874CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 2.87 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2

The CRCW08052M87FKEA manufactured by Vishay Dale meets all mandatory matching parameters. This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility while offering alternative sourcing through a different manufacturer. The substitute part is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards, providing additional certification coverage beyond the base requirements.
