Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F1580CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 158 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

All substitute parts listed maintain these core parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard manufacturing tolerances do not affect functional substitution. Packaging format (Tape & Reel) represents a logistics variation and does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-07158RL (YAGEO): This part is a direct manufacturer equivalent with Active product status. All electrical and mechanical parameters match the RC3216F1580CS. The YAGEO RC_L series maintains identical performance specifications and compliance certifications. This substitute is suitable for all applications where the Samsung part is specified.

CRCW1206158RFKEA (Vishay Dale): This part meets all core electrical and mechanical requirements with Active product status. The CRCW series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The Vishay part is suitable for general applications and automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance.

ERJ-8ENF1580V (Panasonic): This part satisfies all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. However, the product status is listed as "Not For New Designs." The ERJ-8EN series includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This substitute is suitable for replacement and maintenance applications but is not recommended for new design implementations.

For new designs, RC1206FR-07158RL or CRCW1206158RFKEA are the preferred alternatives. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, CRCW1206158RFKEA is the recommended choice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-07158RL be used as a direct replacement for RC3216F1580CS?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-07158RL is a direct substitute. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (158 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range), package type (1206), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RC3216F1580CS and the Vishay CRCW1206158RFKEA?

A: The core electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is that CRCW1206158RFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which the Samsung part does not specify. Both are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. Physical dimensions vary slightly within standard manufacturing tolerances.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1580V marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: The ERJ-8ENF1580V is classified as "Not For New Designs" by Panasonic. This designation indicates the product line is in mature or end-of-life status. While the part meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution, it is not recommended for new circuit designs. Use RC1206FR-07158RL or CRCW1206158RFKEA for new implementations.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format. The main part (RC3216F1580CS) packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same physical dimensions?

A: The parts share the same 1206 (3216 Metric) package designation. Minor variations in length, width, and height exist within standard manufacturing tolerances. Specifically: length ranges from 0.122" to 0.126" (3.10mm to 3.20mm), and height ranges from 0.024" to 0.028" (0.60mm to 0.70mm). These variations are within acceptable PCB design tolerances for 1206 components.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW1206158RFKEA is the recommended choice for automotive applications. This part carries AEC-Q200 qualification, which certifies compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. ERJ-8ENF1580V also includes AEC-Q200 rating but is not recommended for new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed (RC1206FR-07158RL, CRCW1206158RFKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1580V) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RC3216F1580CS.
