Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F3740CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 374 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical & Package Equivalence Requirements:

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

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (required)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RCS2012F3740CS in standard PCB assembly applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F3740CS and maintain active production status. Selection among these alternatives may be based on the following factors:

Compliance Certifications: CRCW0805374RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF3740V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT374R (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade component certification.

RC0805FR-07374RL (YAGEO) and RCS2012F3740CS (Samsung) do not carry AEC-Q200 ratings but maintain standard industrial compliance.

Feature Differentiation: RCS2012F3740CS includes anti-sulfur properties in addition to moisture resistance. CRCW0805374RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF3740V, and RMCF0805FT374R are specified with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC0805FR-07374RL is specified with moisture resistance.

Availability & Inventory: RC0805FR-07374RL (YAGEO) maintains the highest inventory level at 207,301 pieces. CRCW0805374RFKEA (Vishay Dale) has 35,915 pieces available. ERJ-6ENF3740V (Panasonic) has 23,029 pieces. RMCF0805FT374R (Stackpole) has 8,730 pieces. RCS2012F3740CS (Samsung) has 1,116 pieces in stock.

All parts are packaged in Tape & Reel (TR) format and are suitable for automated PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805374RFKEA be used as a direct replacement for RCS2012F3740CS?

A: Yes. CRCW0805374RFKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. Both parts are 374 Ohm ±1% thick film resistors in 0805 package with 0.125W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts share identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. The primary differences are manufacturer identity and optional certifications. CRCW0805374RFKEA, ERJ-6ENF3740V, and RMCF0805FT374R carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RCS2012F3740CS includes anti-sulfur properties. RC0805FR-07374RL is specified with moisture resistance only. These differences do not affect electrical interchangeability.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: All parts conform to the 0805 (2012 Metric) package standard with identical length and width of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Maximum seated heights vary slightly: RCS2012F3740CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), CRCW0805374RFKEA at 0.020" (0.50mm), ERJ-6ENF3740V at 0.028" (0.70mm), RC0805FR-07374RL at 0.024" (0.60mm), and RMCF0805FT374R at 0.026" (0.65mm). These height variations remain within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW0805374RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF3740V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT374R (Stackpole) are qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards. Selection among these three depends on availability, lead time, and supply chain requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly processes.

Q: Do all parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All parts including RCS2012F3740CS and all substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
