Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F6R2CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 6.2 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match or wider range acceptable)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match or lower MSL acceptable)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (exact match required)

The RC2012F6R2CS qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is packaging format: RCS2012F6R2CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RC2012F6R2CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics within the same product series family.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2012F6R2CS is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RCS2012F6R2CS. Both components maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics and carry ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

Selection between these two parts is determined by supply chain and assembly process requirements rather than electrical performance:

RCS2012F6R2CS (Tape & Reel format) is suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations utilizing standard pick-and-place equipment with tape-fed component handling.

RC2012F6R2CS (Cut Tape format) is suitable for lower-volume production runs, prototype development, or manual assembly processes where individual component access is required.

Both parts are currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability. Compliance certifications are equivalent across ROHS3, REACH, and moisture sensitivity classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2012F6R2CS be used as a direct replacement for RCS2012F6R2CS in production assembly?

A: Yes. The RC2012F6R2CS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F6R2CS. The primary difference is packaging format: Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape. If your assembly equipment can accommodate Cut Tape format, the RC2012F6R2CS provides identical electrical performance and compliance certifications.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the two parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications: 6.2 Ohms ±1% resistance, 0.125W power rating, ±300ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Physical dimensions and termination count are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) format supplies components on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated high-speed assembly. Cut Tape (CT) format supplies components on tape segments cut to specific lengths, suitable for manual handling or lower-volume assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RCS2012F6R2CS and RC2012F6R2CS are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What is the height difference between these parts?

A: The seated height maximum is 0.66mm for RCS2012F6R2CS and 0.65mm for RC2012F6R2CS. This 0.01mm difference is within standard manufacturing tolerance and does not affect PCB assembly or circuit performance.

Q: Can I mix RCS2012F6R2CS and RC2012F6R2CS in the same production batch?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can handle both Tape & Reel and Cut Tape formats. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical and will perform identically in the circuit.
