Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS2012F7680CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Resistance value of 768 Ohms with ±1% tolerance, power rating of 0.125W (1/8W), and temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package format 0805 (2012 Metric) with identical footprint dimensions of 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm) and two terminations.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range -55°C ~ 155°C, ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and REACH unaffected status.

Packaging: Tape & Reel (TR) format for automated assembly compatibility.

All four substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore direct functional equivalents for the RCS2012F7680CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications and package compatibility with the RCS2012F7680CS. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements:

For General Industrial Applications: RC0805FR-07768RL (YAGEO) and RCS2012F7680CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) are functionally equivalent, both featuring moisture-resistant thick film construction with standard industrial compliance.

For Automotive Applications: CRCW0805768RFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF7680V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT768R (Stackpole) carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings, suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs.

For PCB Assembly Constraints: Height-seated maximum values range from 0.50mm to 0.70mm. Applications with tight vertical clearance requirements should reference the specific height specification of the selected substitute.

All parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and REACH unaffected, meeting standard environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805768RFKEA replace RCS2012F7680CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. CRCW0805768RFKEA 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 non-automotive circuits.

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

A: Height-seated maximum values (0.50mm to 0.70mm) affect PCB assembly clearance and component stacking. Verify board design clearance specifications before selecting a substitute with different height characteristics.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, compatible with automated pick-and-place assembly equipment.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All substitute parts specify ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range, identical to the RCS2012F7680CS.

Q: What is the difference between anti-sulfur and automotive AEC-Q200 features?

A: Anti-sulfur construction protects against sulfur-containing environmental contaminants. AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard ensuring reliability under automotive operating conditions. These are distinct feature sets; selection depends on application environment requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on existing PCBs designed for RCS2012F7680CS?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical 0805 (2012 Metric) footprint dimensions and two-termination configuration, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.
