Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F8252CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (82.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (0805 / 2012 Metric), number of terminations (2), and physical dimensions (0.079" L x 0.049" W / 2.00mm x 1.25mm) must match.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating (1), REACH status (Unaffected), and ECCN classification (EAR99) must align.

All four identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in seated height (0.020" to 0.028"), packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and optional automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) do not affect substitution eligibility but are noted for application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are classified as Active product status and maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the original RCS2012F8252CS specification.

CRCW080582K5FKEA (Vishay Dale): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified. Lowest seated height (0.50mm) provides advantage in space-constrained PCB layouts. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging available.

ERJ-6ENF8252V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified. Highest seated height (0.70mm). Tape & Reel packaging. Largest inventory availability (164,033 pcs).

RC0805FR-0782K5L (YAGEO): Moisture-resistant construction matching original anti-sulfur feature set. Moderate seated height (0.60mm). Tape & Reel packaging. High inventory (294,063 pcs).

RMCF0805FT82K5 (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified. Seated height (0.65mm) near original specification (0.66mm). Tape & Reel packaging. Largest inventory availability (823,687 pcs).

Selection between substitutes depends on application requirements: automotive qualification necessity, PCB height constraints, and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW080582K5FKEA replace RCS2012F8252CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Electrical specifications (82.5 kΩ ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), package type (0805), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are identical. The 0.16mm seated height difference (0.50mm vs. 0.66mm) is within typical PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. CRCW080582K5FKEA, ERJ-6ENF8252V, and RMCF0805FT82K5 carry this certification. The original RCS2012F8252CS does not list AEC-Q200. If the application requires automotive qualification, select from the three AEC-Q200 qualified substitutes. If automotive qualification is not required, all four substitutes remain electrically equivalent.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect component performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. CRCW080582K5FKEA is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format; all others are Tape & Reel. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Are there any dimensional constraints I should consider when substituting?

A: Seated height varies between substitutes (0.50mm to 0.70mm) compared to the original (0.66mm). In standard PCB assembly, these variations are accommodated within normal solder reflow profiles and component placement tolerances. If the application has strict height constraints (such as confined spaces or specific mechanical clearances), verify the substitute seated height against your design requirements.

Q: Is moisture resistance a critical factor in selecting a substitute?

A: The original RCS2012F8252CS specifies anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. RC0805FR-0782K5L explicitly lists moisture-resistant features. All substitutes carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling. For applications in high-humidity or corrosive environments, RC0805FR-0782K5L provides explicit moisture-resistant construction matching the original specification.

Q: What inventory considerations should influence my selection?

A: RMCF0805FT82K5 (Stackpole) has the highest inventory (823,687 pcs), followed by RC0805FR-0782K5L (YAGEO, 294,063 pcs) and ERJ-6ENF8252V (Panasonic, 164,033 pcs). CRCW080582K5FKEA (Vishay) has lower availability (48,548 pcs). For high-volume production or long-term supply assurance, prioritize parts with higher inventory levels.
