RCS2012F6R04CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS2012F6R04CS is a 6.04 Ohms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced environmental protection. The RCS2012F6R04CS maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when they match the critical electrical specifications: resistance value of 6.04 Ohms, tolerance of ±1%, power rating of 0.125W, and identical 0805 package configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F6R04CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.04 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Package format: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Number of terminations: 2
• RoHS3 compliance status

The RC0805FR-076R04P manufactured by YAGEO satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications. Both operate within the required temperature range and maintain RoHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC0805FR-076R04P qualifies as a direct substitute for the RCS2012F6R04CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components are Active products with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. The RC0805FR-076R04P carries identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package specifications required for direct substitution in circuit applications.

The RC0805FR-076R04P exhibits a lower temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C versus ±300ppm/°C) and a reduced seated height (0.024" versus 0.026"), both of which represent improved or equivalent performance characteristics. The lower temperature coefficient indicates superior stability across the operating temperature range. The reduced height presents no mechanical incompatibility with standard 0805 footprints and may provide advantages in space-constrained designs.

Both components maintain unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) and identical export classification (EAR99) and tariff codes (HTSUS 8533.21.0030), ensuring equivalent regulatory and compliance status for procurement and deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine if a part can substitute for the RCS2012F6R04CS?

A: The critical parameters are resistance value (6.04 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), and package format (0805 / 2012 Metric). All substitute parts must match these specifications exactly. Operating temperature range, composition (thick film), and number of terminations (2) must also align.

Q: Can the RC0805FR-076R04P be used in place of the RCS2012F6R04CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The RC0805FR-076R04P matches all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. The component footprint is identical, and both parts are rated for the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The RC0805FR-076R04P features a lower temperature coefficient and reduced seated height, which do not create compatibility issues.

Q: Are there differences in environmental protection between these two parts?

A: The RCS2012F6R04CS specifies anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features. The RC0805FR-076R04P does not list these specific features in the provided data. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and RoHS3 compliance. Applications requiring explicit anti-sulfur protection should verify the RC0805FR-076R04P against specific environmental requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient difference?

A: The RCS2012F6R04CS has a temperature coefficient of ±300ppm/°C, while the RC0805FR-076R04P has ±200ppm/°C. The lower coefficient in the YAGEO part indicates superior resistance stability across temperature variations. This represents an equivalent or improved characteristic for most applications.

Q: Do both parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: Both parts share identical length and width (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm). The seated height differs slightly: RCS2012F6R04CS is 0.026" (0.66mm) maximum, while RC0805FR-076R04P is 0.024" (0.60mm) maximum. This minor difference does not affect PCB footprint compatibility or assembly processes.

Q: Are there any regulatory or compliance differences?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export purposes. Both carry the same HTSUS tariff code (8533.21.0030). Regulatory and compliance status are equivalent.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: Both the RCS2012F6R04CS and RC0805FR-076R04P are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.
