Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F6981CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value of 6.98 kOhms, tolerance of ±1%, and power rating of 0.125W (1/8W) must match exactly. Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C are mandatory.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type must be 0805 (2012 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm). Number of terminations must be 2.

Environmental & Compliance: All substitute parts must be ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and possess MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). Thick film composition is required.

Packaging Format: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard across all identified substitutes.

All four substitute parts meet these criteria and are direct functional equivalents to the RCS2012F6981CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS2012F6981CS and are suitable for direct replacement in circuit applications. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following factors:

Automotive Applications: AC0805FR-076K98L (YAGEO), CRCW08056K98FKEA (Vishay Dale), and ERJ-6ENF6981V (Panasonic) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings. These parts are appropriate for automotive-grade circuit designs requiring enhanced reliability standards.

General Industrial Applications: RC0805FR-076K98L (YAGEO) and RCS2012F6981CS (Samsung) are suitable for non-automotive industrial applications. Both provide moisture resistance without automotive-specific certifications.

Inventory Availability: ERJ-6ENF6981V (Panasonic) offers the highest inventory level at 105,356 pieces. CRCW08056K98FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides 22,336 pieces. AC0805FR-076K98L (YAGEO) and RC0805FR-076K98L (YAGEO) offer 8,639 and 97,306 pieces respectively.

Physical Height Considerations: All parts fit within standard 0805 package height specifications. CRCW08056K98FKEA (Vishay Dale) has the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), while ERJ-6ENF6981V (Panasonic) has the highest at 0.028" (0.70mm). Height differences remain within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Compliance & Certifications: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC0805FR-076K98L replace RCS2012F6981CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AC0805FR-076K98L meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is an additional feature that does not restrict use in general industrial applications.

Q: What is the significance of the height difference between substitute parts?

A: Height variations (0.020" to 0.028") are within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility. All parts maintain the same footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm).

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts and the main part RCS2012F6981CS are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting current environmental and manufacturing requirements.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: ERJ-6ENF6981V (Panasonic) has the highest inventory at 105,356 pieces. RC0805FR-076K98L (YAGEO) is the second option with 97,306 pieces available.

Q: Can I use CRCW08056K98FKEA in place of RCS2012F6981CS?
