Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F1374CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.37 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The CRCW12061M37FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Additional features such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification represent enhanced specifications that do not preclude substitution in non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC3216F1374CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): Select this part when Samsung supply chain continuity is required or when existing inventory supports production schedules. Active product status ensures ongoing availability. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating support standard industrial and consumer applications.

CRCW12061M37FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance with higher inventory availability (15130 pieces in stock). AEC-Q200 automotive qualification provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Identical electrical specifications and package dimensions ensure direct substitution capability. Marginally lower seated height (0.024" vs 0.026") presents no functional impact for standard PCB assembly processes.

Both parts satisfy ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12061M37FKEA replace RC3216F1374CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (1.37 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Mechanical dimensions are equivalent within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry reliability standard. This certification indicates the Vishay component meets enhanced testing and qualification requirements. For non-automotive applications, this represents a higher-grade component that remains fully compatible with the original specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RC3216F1374CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the CRCW12061M37FKEA is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, with Tape & Reel (TR) as the primary packaging option. Both are 1206 package format suitable for automated assembly.

Q: Do the height differences affect PCB assembly?

A: The seated height difference (0.026" vs 0.024") is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect component placement, soldering, or functional performance.

Q: Are both parts currently in production?

A: Yes. Both RC3216F1374CS and CRCW12061M37FKEA are active products with current inventory availability.
