Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMCS0805FT28K0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 28 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.125W / 1/8W (exact match required)
• Package: 0805 (2012 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All four substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in features (automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, anti-sulfur treatment, moisture resistance) and physical dimensions (height seated maximum) do not affect functional substitutability for applications requiring the specified base parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, confirming their suitability as direct replacements for the RMCS0805FT28K0 in applications meeting the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

RMCF0805FT28K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it the preferred choice for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring enhanced reliability documentation.

CRCW080528K0FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers the lowest seated height at 0.020" (0.50mm), providing design flexibility for space-constrained PCB layouts. This part is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging options.

ERJ-6ENF2802V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is available in the highest inventory volume (65,786 units), supporting applications with large-scale production requirements.

RC0805FR-0728KL (YAGEO) features moisture-resistant construction, providing enhanced environmental protection for applications exposed to humidity or condensation conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF0805FT28K0 be used as a direct replacement for RMCS0805FT28K0?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (28 kOhms ±1%, 0.125W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and package dimensions (0805). The RMCF variant includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which does not prevent its use in non-automotive applications.

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

A: Seated height variations (0.020" to 0.028") are within typical thick film resistor manufacturing tolerances and do not affect electrical performance. Height differences become relevant only in applications with strict PCB clearance constraints or automated assembly specifications requiring specific component profiles.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: No. RMCS0805FT28K0, RMCF0805FT28K0, ERJ-6ENF2802V, and RC0805FR-0728KL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. CRCW080528K0FKEA is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® packaging. Packaging selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Does the anti-sulfur feature of RMCS0805FT28K0 affect substitution decisions?

A: No. The anti-sulfur treatment is an additional feature that does not establish a substitution requirement. Substitute parts without this feature remain electrically and mechanically equivalent. Selection of anti-sulfur or moisture-resistant variants depends on specific environmental exposure conditions in the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the compliance profile of the RMCS0805FT28K0.
