Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F8R2CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 8.2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.079" L x 0.049" W (2.00mm x 1.25mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Equivalence Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

The RC2012F8R2CS qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications. The primary difference is packaging format: RCS2012F8R2CS is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while RC2012F8R2CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) format. Both formats contain identical components with equivalent performance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC2012F8R2CS represents a functionally equivalent substitute for the RCS2012F8R2CS. Both components are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics and maintain identical electrical performance specifications, mechanical compatibility, and regulatory compliance certifications.

Selection between these parts is determined by packaging requirements:

RCS2012F8R2CS (Tape & Reel): Suitable for high-volume automated assembly operations where continuous reel feeding is required. Tape & Reel packaging provides optimal efficiency for pick-and-place equipment.

RC2012F8R2CS (Cut Tape): Suitable for lower-volume applications, prototype development, or manual assembly processes where individual component access is preferred.

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory suitability for current manufacturing standards. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard component care.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC2012F8R2CS be used as a direct replacement for RCS2012F8R2CS in production assembly?

A: Yes. The RC2012F8R2CS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS2012F8R2CS. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape versus Tape & Reel). If your assembly process accommodates Cut Tape format, direct substitution is valid.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on continuous reels suitable for automated pick-and-place equipment. Cut Tape (CT) packaging supplies components on tape segments, typically used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Both contain identical components.

Q: Are there any performance differences between RCS2012F8R2CS and RC2012F8R2CS?

A: No. Both parts have identical electrical specifications (8.2 Ohms ±1%, 0.125W, ±300ppm/°C), mechanical dimensions (0805 package, 2.00mm x 1.25mm), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C).

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RCS2012F8R2CS and RC2012F8R2CS are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What determines whether a part can substitute for RCS2012F8R2CS?

A: Substitution requires equivalence in resistance value (8.2 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.125W), package type (0805), temperature coefficient (±300ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Q: Can I mix Tape & Reel and Cut Tape formats in the same production run?

A: Yes, provided your assembly equipment can process both packaging formats. The components themselves are identical and will perform identically in the circuit.
