Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F1582CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 15.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• REACH unaffected status

All substitute parts listed meet these electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) and packaging format (Tape & Reel) do not affect functional substitutability when all critical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Status Substitutes: RC1206FR-0715K8L (YAGEO), RMCF1206FG15K8 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), RMCF1206FT15K8 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), and CRCW120615K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) are all in active product status. These parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production where long-term availability is required.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives: RMCF1206FG15K8, RMCF1206FT15K8, and CRCW120615K8FKEA carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and traceability.

Discontinued Product Consideration: ERJ-8ENF1582V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is marked as "Not For New Designs." This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but should not be selected for new product development. It remains available for legacy system support and repair applications only.

Inventory Availability: CRCW120615K8FKEA offers 15,958 pieces in stock. RMCF1206FG15K8 provides 10,890 pieces. RC1206FR-0715K8L offers 36,511 pieces. ERJ-8ENF1582V has the highest inventory at 190,002 pieces. Selection based on supply chain requirements and lead time considerations is appropriate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-8ENF1582V be used as a direct replacement for RC3216F1582CS?

A: ERJ-8ENF1582V meets all electrical and mechanical specifications for direct substitution. However, it is marked "Not For New Designs." It is suitable for replacement in existing systems and legacy applications but should not be selected for new product development.

Q: What is the difference between RMCF1206FG15K8 and RMCF1206FT15K8?

A: Both parts are manufactured by Stackpole Electronics Inc and are electrically and mechanically identical. Both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The difference lies in internal construction or manufacturing process designation (FG vs. FT suffix), but this does not affect functional performance or substitutability.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance profile of the RC3216F1582CS.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly; bulk packaging is used for manual assembly or lower-volume applications.

Q: Can I use CRCW120615K8FKEA in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. CRCW120615K8FKEA is AEC-Q200 qualified, meaning it exceeds standard reliability requirements. It is fully suitable for non-automotive applications and offers enhanced reliability margins.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: The temperature coefficient indicates resistance value change per degree Celsius. At ±100ppm/°C, the RC3216F1582CS and all substitutes exhibit identical temperature stability. This parameter is critical for precision analog circuits and must match across all equivalent parts.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences that affect PCB layout?

A: All parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor variations exist in seated height (0.024" to 0.028") and length (0.122" to 0.126"), but these fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not require PCB layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: RC1206FR-0715K8L (YAGEO) and CRCW120615K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) are both in active product status with substantial inventory levels. Both manufacturers are established suppliers with consistent product availability. Selection between these two should be based on existing supply chain relationships and procurement preferences.
