Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for RC3216F1181CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 1.18 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) and packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) do not affect functional equivalency.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

RC1206FR-071K18L (YAGEO), CRCW12061K18FKEA (Vishay Dale), and RMCF1206FT1K18 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are functionally equivalent to RC3216F1181CS. All three maintain Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications. Selection among these three is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability.

Secondary Substitute (Not For New Designs):

ERJ-8ENF1181V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalency criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable for replacement applications and legacy system maintenance only.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). No additional environmental or regulatory screening is required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071K18L replace RC3216F1181CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-071K18L is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both components share identical resistance (1.18 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) and manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12061K18FKEA and RMCF1206FT1K18?

A: Both parts are electrically identical to RC3216F1181CS. CRCW12061K18FKEA is manufactured by Vishay Dale and RMCF1206FT1K18 is manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc. Physical dimensions vary slightly (height: 0.024" vs. 0.028"), but both are within 1206 package specifications. Selection depends on supplier availability and procurement requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1181V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF1181V carries "Not For New Designs" status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the part is available for replacement and legacy applications but should not be selected for new product development. For new designs, use RC1206FR-071K18L, CRCW12061K18FKEA, or RMCF1206FT1K18.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (RC1206FR-071K18L, CRCW12061K18FKEA, ERJ-8ENF1181V, RMCF1206FT1K18) are ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: RC3216F1181CS is supplied in Bulk format. Substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format (RC1206FR-071K18L, CRCW12061K18FKEA, RMCF1206FT1K18) or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format (ERJ-8ENF1181V). Packaging format does not affect component functionality.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably on PCBs?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are mechanically compatible with 1206 (3216 Metric) footprints. Physical dimension variations (length: 0.122" to 0.126", height: 0.024" to 0.028") fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly or electrical performance.
