Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RCS2012F6982CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 69.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts may include additional features such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or alternative moisture-resistant construction methods, which do not affect functional equivalence in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS2012F6982CS based on electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection among these alternatives is determined by application-specific requirements and compliance certifications:

CRCW080569K8FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. The seated height of 0.020" (0.50mm) is the lowest among all options, which may be advantageous for space-constrained PCB layouts.

ERJ-6ENF6982V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and offers the highest inventory availability (100,048 pieces). The seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) is the maximum among all options.

RC0805FR-0769K8L (YAGEO): This substitute features moisture-resistant construction and offers high inventory availability (109,036 pieces). The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) provides a mid-range profile suitable for standard PCB applications.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compliance across industrial and commercial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW080569K8FKEA replace the RCS2012F6982CS in all applications?

A: The CRCW080569K8FKEA is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F6982CS. Both components share identical resistance (69.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package format (0805), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The primary difference is the addition of automotive AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part, which does not prevent its use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the significance of the seated height differences among substitute parts?

A: The seated height variation (0.020" to 0.028") reflects manufacturing differences among suppliers but does not affect electrical performance. Height differences are relevant only for PCB designs with strict vertical clearance constraints or specific assembly requirements. Standard PCB layouts accommodate all variants without modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RCS2012F6982CS and all identified substitute parts (CRCW080569K8FKEA, ERJ-6ENF6982V, RC0805FR-0769K8L) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction?

A: The RCS2012F6982CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. The CRCW080569K8FKEA and ERJ-6ENF6982V feature automotive AEC-Q200 qualification without specific anti-sulfur designation. The RC0805FR-0769K8L features moisture-resistant construction. These construction variations do not affect functional equivalence for standard applications; selection depends on environmental exposure requirements specific to the application.

Q: Can substitute parts with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional quality and reliability standard that exceeds standard industrial requirements. Parts with this certification are suitable for any application requiring equivalent or lower reliability standards.

Q: What inventory considerations apply when selecting among substitute parts?

A: Inventory availability varies significantly among suppliers. The ERJ-6ENF6982V (Panasonic) offers 100,048 pieces, RC0805FR-0769K8L (YAGEO) offers 109,036 pieces, CRCW080569K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers 20,184 pieces, and RCS2012F6982CS (Samsung) offers 1,094 pieces. Selection based on inventory availability is appropriate for high-volume production or long-term supply chain planning.
