Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC2012F3163CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 316 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

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

Substitute parts are categorized as Direct when all parameters align identically with the main part. Similar parts meet all electrical and mechanical requirements but may include additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) or differ in seated height within acceptable tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Preferred for Drop-In Replacement):

CR0805-FX-3163ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC0805FR-07316KL (YAGEO) are direct substitutes with identical electrical specifications and active product status. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Seated height differences (0.60mm vs. 0.65mm main part) fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances for 0805 packages.

Direct Substitutes with Automotive Qualification:

RMCF0805FT316K (Stackpole Electronics Inc.) and ERJ-6ENF3163V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meet all electrical and mechanical requirements with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability without circuit redesign.

Similar Substitute with Lowest Profile:

CRCW0805316KFKEA (Vishay Dale) provides the lowest seated height (0.50mm) while maintaining all electrical specifications and AEC-Q200 qualification. This option is applicable for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Discontinued Part:

MCR10ERTF3163 (Rohm Semiconductor) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs or long-term supply chain planning. Alternative active parts listed above are recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC2012F3163CS with any of the listed parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All Direct and Similar substitute parts maintain identical electrical specifications (316 kΩ, ±1%, 0.125W) and 0805 package dimensions. Seated height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not require design modification.

Q: What is the difference between Direct and Similar substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes (CR0805-FX-3163ELF, RC0805FR-07316KL, RMCF0805FT316K, ERJ-6ENF3163V) match all electrical and mechanical parameters. Similar substitutes (CRCW0805316KFKEA) include additional certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which may exceed application requirements but do not compromise compatibility.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts (AEC-Q200) suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AEC-Q200 qualification represents enhanced reliability testing and is a superset of standard industrial requirements. Parts such as RMCF0805FT316K and ERJ-6ENF3163V can be used in non-automotive applications without performance degradation.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. All listed substitutes carry MSL 1 rating, eliminating moisture-related supply chain constraints.

Q: Why is MCR10ERTF3163 marked as discontinued?

A: MCR10ERTF3163 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability. For new designs and production planning, select from active alternatives: CR0805-FX-3163ELF, RC0805FR-07316KL, RMCF0805FT316K, ERJ-6ENF3163V, or CRCW0805316KFKEA.

Q: Do all substitutes meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance profile of the RC2012F3163CS.

Q: What is the significance of temperature coefficient ±100ppm/°C?

A: Temperature coefficient defines resistance drift over the operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). All substitutes maintain ±100ppm/°C, ensuring equivalent thermal stability and circuit performance across the full temperature range.
