Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F3574CS are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The substitution criteria include:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (3.57 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Parameters: Package designation (0805/2012 Metric), physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and number of terminations (2) must match.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are required for direct substitution.

Composition: Thick film construction is maintained across all substitute parts.

The RC0805FR-073M57L from YAGEO meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the RCS2012F3574CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0805FR-073M57L qualifies as a direct substitute for the RCS2012F3574CS based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory compliance. Both components are Active product status with ROHS3 certification and MSL 1 rating. The maximum seated height differential (0.026" versus 0.024") remains within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 package components. Both parts maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Selection between these components may be based on availability, lead time, or supply chain requirements, as electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.
