Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F823CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 82 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Substitution Criteria (Power Rating Variants): Parts with identical electrical specifications but different power ratings (0.5W / 1/2W instead of 0.125W / 1/8W) are listed as substitutes when higher power dissipation capability is required. These parts maintain all other electrical and mechanical parameters.

Packaging Format Variants: Parts with identical electrical specifications but different packaging formats (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel) are substitutes when packaging requirements differ from the original specification.

Enhanced Feature Variants: Parts with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or additional features such as pulse withstanding capability are substitutes when application requirements mandate these certifications or features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Identical Specifications):

RC2012F823CS and RC0805FR-0782KL are direct electrical equivalents to RCS2012F823CS with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range. RC2012F823CS differs only in packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel). RC0805FR-0782KL is supplied by YAGEO and maintains all electrical parameters. Both parts are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant.

Automotive-Qualified Substitutes (0.125W / 1/8W):

AC0805FR-0782KL (YAGEO), CRCW080582K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), and ERJ-6ENF8202V (Panasonic Electronic Components) are suitable substitutes when automotive AEC-Q200 qualification is required. These parts maintain identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range. All three are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant. CRCW080582K0FKEA offers the lowest maximum seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm).

Higher Power Rating Substitutes (0.5W / 1/2W):

CRCW080582K0FKEAHP (Vishay Dale), ERJ-UP6F8202V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and RCS080582K0FKEA (Vishay Dale) provide 0.5W (1/2W) power rating while maintaining all other electrical parameters. These parts include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and pulse withstanding capability. ERJ-UP6F8202V additionally includes anti-sulfur feature. All three are Active product status and ROHS3 compliant. These substitutes are appropriate when circuit design requires higher power dissipation capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2012F823CS be used as a direct replacement for RCS2012F823CS?

A: RC2012F823CS is electrically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is packaging format: RC2012F823CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format while RCS2012F823CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Substitution is valid when Cut Tape packaging is acceptable for assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between 0.125W and 0.5W power-rated versions?

A: The 0.125W (1/8W) versions (RCS2012F823CS, RC2012F823CS, AC0805FR-0782KL, CRCW080582K0FKEA, ERJ-6ENF8202V, RC0805FR-0782KL) are suitable for applications with lower power dissipation requirements. The 0.5W (1/2W) versions (CRCW080582K0FKEAHP, ERJ-UP6F8202V, RCS080582K0FKEA) accommodate higher power dissipation. All versions maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, and operating temperature range. Selection depends on circuit power requirements.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts necessary for non-automotive applications?

A: Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts (AC0805FR-0782KL, CRCW080582K0FKEA, ERJ-6ENF8202V, CRCW080582K0FKEAHP, ERJ-UP6F8202V, RCS080582K0FKEA) meet stringent reliability and quality standards. These parts are suitable for any application but are specifically required for automotive circuit designs. Non-automotive applications may use non-qualified equivalents such as RCS2012F823CS, RC2012F823CS, or RC0805FR-0782KL.

Q: What is the significance of anti-sulfur feature?

A: Anti-sulfur feature is present in RCS2012F823CS and ERJ-UP6F8202V. This feature provides protection against sulfur contamination in high-sulfur environments. For applications in standard industrial or commercial environments without sulfur exposure, this feature is not required.

Q: How do seated height differences affect PCB assembly?

A: Seated height varies across substitutes: RCS2012F823CS (0.66mm), RC2012F823CS (0.65mm), AC0805FR-0782KL (0.60mm), CRCW080582K0FKEA (0.50mm), ERJ-6ENF8202V (0.70mm), ERJ-UP6F8202V (0.70mm), RC0805FR-0782KL (0.60mm), RCS080582K0FKEA (0.50mm). Lower seated heights may be advantageous for space-constrained designs. PCB design clearances and component placement requirements should be verified against specific seated height specifications.

Q: Can parts with different packaging formats be mixed in production?

A: RC2012F823CS (Cut Tape) differs from RCS2012F823CS (Tape & Reel) in packaging format only. Electrical specifications are identical. Mixing packaging formats in production is valid when assembly equipment accommodates both formats. Production process documentation should specify acceptable packaging formats.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all listed substitutes?

A: All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as ECCN EAR99. All parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). These certifications ensure regulatory compliance for commercial and industrial applications. Automotive-qualified parts additionally meet AEC-Q200 standards.
