Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.15 kOhms (exact)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact)
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (exact)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Physical dimensions: Minor variations within supplier tolerances (length 3.10mm–3.20mm, width 1.60mm, height 0.60mm–0.70mm)
• Packaging format: Tape & Reel acceptable as alternative to standard packaging
• Manufacturer: Different manufacturers permitted if all electrical and mechanical parameters match

Three substitute parts meet these criteria and are grouped as direct equivalents.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-071K15L (YAGEO) is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains Active product status with identical electrical specifications and is available in high inventory (16,744 pcs). Physical dimensions show minor variation (3.10mm length vs. 3.20mm) within acceptable supplier tolerances. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume applications.

CRCW12061K15FKEA (Vishay Dale) is a qualified direct substitute with Active product status. This part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Physical dimensions match the main part exactly (3.20mm length). Inventory availability is high (22,359 pcs).

ERJ-8ENF1151V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This designation indicates the manufacturer is phasing out this part number. Use is restricted to legacy system maintenance or replacement applications only. Inventory is available (34,770 pcs), but new design incorporation is not recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071K15L replace RC3216F1151CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (1.15 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Minor physical dimension variation (3.10mm vs. 3.20mm length) is within standard supplier tolerances and does not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is the industry standard for automated assembly processes and high-volume production. Standard packaging typically refers to bulk or alternative formats. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on assembly equipment and production volume requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1151V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates Panasonic has discontinued active development and is transitioning customers to alternative part numbers. While the component meets all technical specifications and remains electrically equivalent, it should not be selected for new product designs. Use is limited to replacement or legacy system applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F1151CS, RC1206FR-071K15L, CRCW12061K15FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1151V are all ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Does CRCW12061K15FKEA AEC-Q200 qualification affect compatibility?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an additional automotive qualification that does not alter electrical or mechanical specifications. The part remains fully compatible with applications using the base RC3216F1151CS. AEC-Q200 qualification provides enhanced reliability documentation for automotive or high-reliability applications.

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

A: Yes. All four parts share identical 1206 package footprints and land patterns. Physical dimension variations (length 3.10–3.20mm, height 0.60–0.70mm) fall within standard PCB design tolerances and do not require layout modifications.
