RC3216F1472CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC3216F1472CS is a 14.7 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film, moisture-resistant resistor operates across -55°C to 155°C and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The part is currently in active production status with 1021 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design flexibility across qualified manufacturers is needed while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Equivalence Criteria:

• Resistance value: 14.7 kOhms
• 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
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Number of terminations: 2

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification and differences in product features (such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification) do not disqualify substitution but are noted for design consideration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status):

CR1206-FX-1472ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-0714K7L (YAGEO) are direct equivalents with active product status. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and moisture-resistant thick film composition. Selection between these and the RC3216F1472CS depends on supply availability and procurement lead times.

CRCW120614K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) is functionally equivalent with the addition of automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability without imposing additional constraints on non-automotive designs.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF1472V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance, repair, or replacement applications where the original design specified this component. New designs should not incorporate this part number.

Selection Logic:

For new designs and standard applications, select from CR1206-FX-1472ELF, RC1206FR-0714K7L, or CRCW120614K7FKEA based on supplier availability and inventory levels. For automotive applications or designs requiring AEC-Q200 qualification, CRCW120614K7FKEA is the appropriate selection. For legacy system support, ERJ-8ENF1472V remains available but should not be specified for new production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-1472ELF replace RC3216F1472CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-1472ELF is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (14.7 kOhms), 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). Physical dimensions vary slightly within 1206 package tolerances and do not affect circuit performance.

Q: What is the difference between the moisture-resistant and automotive AEC-Q200 variants?

A: All listed substitutes maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The automotive AEC-Q200 designation on CRCW120614K7FKEA and ERJ-8ENF1472V indicates additional qualification testing for automotive applications. This qualification does not restrict use in non-automotive applications; it provides additional assurance of reliability for demanding environments.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1472V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This product status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new designs. ERJ-8ENF1472V remains available for existing inventory and legacy system support but should not be selected for new production due to potential future availability constraints.

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

A: CR1206-FX-1472ELF, RC1206FR-0714K7L, CRCW120614K7FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1472V are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The RC3216F1472CS primary part is supplied in standard packaging. Tape & Reel format is standard for high-volume surface mount assembly operations.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The 1206 package footprint is identical across all parts. Physical dimension variations (length 0.122" to 0.126", height 0.024" to 0.030") fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout or assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC1206FR-0714K7L (YAGEO) has the highest inventory level at 50,720 pieces. CRCW120614K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) has 23,025 pieces, ERJ-8ENF1472V (Panasonic) has 24,127 pieces, and CR1206-FX-1472ELF (Bourns) has 11,292 pieces available.

Q: Do all parts meet REACH compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the primary RC3216F1472CS, carry REACH Unaffected status, indicating compliance with REACH regulations.
