RC3216F1131CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC3216F1131CS is a 1.13 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture-resistant construction and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating), mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count), and environmental performance characteristics (temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, compliance certifications).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F1131CS is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value must equal 1.13 kOhms with ±1% tolerance. Power dissipation capability must be 0.25W minimum. Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C or better.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation must be 1206 (3216 Metric). Physical dimensions must accommodate the 1206 footprint standard. Number of terminations must be 2.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C minimum. RoHS3 compliance is required. Moisture Sensitivity Level must be 1 (Unlimited). REACH Unaffected status required.

Composition: Thick film construction is the specified technology.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in product status, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. other formats), and optional automotive certifications (AEC-Q200) do not disqualify substitution but are noted for application-specific requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-071K13L (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with Active product status. Suitable for new designs and production applications. Packaging in Tape & Reel format supports automated assembly processes. Inventory availability of 10,003 pieces supports volume requirements.

CRCW12061K13FKEA (Vishay Dale): Direct equivalent with Active product status and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Recommended for automotive and high-reliability applications requiring automotive-grade component certification. Highest inventory availability at 29,150 pieces. Slightly reduced maximum seated height (0.024" vs. 0.026") requires PCB layout verification for clearance-critical applications.

ERJ-8ENF1131V (Panasonic): Electrical and mechanical equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Product status is "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in mature/legacy phase. Suitable for replacement and maintenance applications only. Not recommended for new product development. Highest inventory availability at 59,583 pieces. Maximum seated height of 0.028" is slightly elevated compared to other options.

For new designs, RC1206FR-071K13L or CRCW12061K13FKEA are preferred. For automotive applications, CRCW12061K13FKEA is the recommended choice. For legacy system support, ERJ-8ENF1131V remains functionally compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071K13L replace RC3216F1131CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1.13 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 2 terminations). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for standard 1206 footprints. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12061K13FKEA and RC3216F1131CS?

A: Electrical and thermal performance are identical. CRCW12061K13FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which RC3216F1131CS does not specify. Physical dimensions show minor variation: CRCW12061K13FKEA maximum seated height is 0.024" versus 0.026" for RC3216F1131CS. This difference is within standard 1206 package tolerance and does not affect PCB compatibility in typical applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1131V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the part is in mature production phase with no active development roadmap. The manufacturer continues to support existing inventory and replacement demand but does not recommend this part for new product development. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain fully functional and equivalent to active alternatives.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-071K13L, CRCW12061K13FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1131V are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, supporting automated pick-and-place assembly. The original RC3216F1131CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: ERJ-8ENF1131V has the highest inventory at 59,583 pieces. CRCW12061K13FKEA follows with 29,150 pieces. RC1206FR-071K13L has 10,003 pieces available. Inventory levels should be verified with suppliers for current availability.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, for standard applications. All parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions and 2-termination configuration. Minor variations in maximum seated height (0.024" to 0.028") are within standard PCB design tolerances. High-density layouts or applications with strict height constraints require verification of specific dimension requirements.
