AC1210FR-07162RL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AC1210FR-07162RL is a 162 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in the 1210 (3225 Metric) package format. Rated for 0.5W power dissipation with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, this component operates across -55°C to 155°C and features moisture-resistant construction. The part is currently in active production status with 702 units in stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is depleted, when supply chain constraints affect availability, or when design flexibility permits equivalent alternatives from qualified manufacturers. The parts listed below maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original specification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the AC1210FR-07162RL is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Resistance value: 162 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.5W minimum
• Package format: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Composition: Thick film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Automotive qualification: AEC-Q200
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 or better
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent

All substitute parts listed meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW1210162RFKEA (Vishay Dale) is the primary substitute option. This part maintains active production status, carries full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and demonstrates dimensional compatibility with the original specification. The seated height of 0.024" matches the AC1210FR-07162RL exactly, ensuring PCB layout compatibility without modification.

ERJ-14NF1620U (Panasonic Electronic Components) is a secondary substitute option. While electrically equivalent and AEC-Q200 qualified, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. The seated height of 0.028" exceeds the original by 0.004", which may require clearance verification in space-constrained applications. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance and repair applications where design changes are not feasible.

Both substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance, temperature stability, and environmental compliance as the original AC1210FR-07162RL.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1210162RFKEA be used as a direct replacement for AC1210FR-07162RL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package format, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. Dimensional compatibility is confirmed with matching seated heights of 0.024". No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-14NF1620U?

A: This designation indicates that Panasonic has discontinued active development of this product line. While the part remains functionally equivalent and available in inventory, it is intended for sustaining production and repair applications rather than new product development. For new designs, CRCW1210162RFKEA is the recommended substitute.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the substitute parts?

A: The seated height of ERJ-14NF1620U is 0.028" compared to 0.024" for both AC1210FR-07162RL and CRCW1210162RFKEA. This 0.004" difference must be evaluated against PCB clearance requirements, particularly in applications with height constraints or stacked component arrangements.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet automotive qualification requirements?

A: Yes. AC1210FR-07162RL, CRCW1210162RFKEA, and ERJ-14NF1620U all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance. All are suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: All three parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage procedures apply without special desiccant or humidity control requirements.
