Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F6983CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 698 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

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

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are classified as Active product status. Variations in seated height and specific feature sets (such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or anti-sulfur coating) do not affect substitution eligibility when all primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS2012F6983CS and are suitable for direct replacement in circuit applications. Selection among the available substitutes may be based on the following factors:

Automotive Applications: The CRCW0805698KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF6983V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT698K (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings. These parts are appropriate for automotive-grade circuit designs where this certification is required.

General Industrial Applications: The RC0805FR-07698KL (YAGEO) and RCS2012F6983CS (Samsung) are suitable for general industrial and consumer applications without automotive-specific requirements.

Inventory Availability: All substitute parts maintain active product status with current stock availability. YAGEO RC0805FR-07698KL offers the highest inventory level at 43,755 pieces.

Physical Clearance Considerations: Seated height variations range from 0.020" to 0.028". Applications with tight vertical clearance constraints should reference the specific height specification of the selected substitute.

All parts comply with ROHS3 regulations, maintain REACH unaffected status, and operate within identical electrical and thermal specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CRCW0805698KFKEA replace the RCS2012F6983CS in a standard circuit board?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (698 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and 0805 package dimensions. The CRCW0805698KFKEA is a direct functional equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the automotive-qualified parts and non-automotive parts?

A: The CRCW0805698KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF6983V, and RMCF0805FT698K carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. The RCS2012F6983CS and RC0805FR-07698KL do not carry this designation. For non-automotive applications, all parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent.

Q: Are there any height restrictions when substituting these parts?

A: Seated height varies between 0.020" (0.50mm) and 0.028" (0.70mm) across the substitute options. Applications with vertical clearance constraints should verify the specific height requirement against the selected substitute part. All heights remain within typical 0805 package specifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the RCS2012F6983CS and all substitutes, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: The RC0805FR-07698KL (YAGEO) maintains the highest inventory level at 43,755 pieces in stock.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: Can I use an automotive-qualified part in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. Automotive-qualified parts such as the CRCW0805698KFKEA, ERJ-6ENF6983V, and RMCF0805FT698K meet or exceed the electrical and mechanical specifications required for non-automotive applications and are fully compatible.
