Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the RC3216F165CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (1.6 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric), footprint dimensions, and termination count (2) must match or be compatible with the original design.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), RoHS3 compliance, and REACH status must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is required for thermal and performance characteristics.

Three substitute parts meet these criteria across different manufacturers: RC1206FR-071M6L (YAGEO), ERJ-8ENF1604V (Panasonic Electronic Components), and KTR18EZPF1604 (Rohm Semiconductor). Each maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering different product status and packaging options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-071M6L (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with Active product status. Suitable for new designs and production environments requiring tape and reel packaging. Inventory availability is high (10,592 pieces). Dimensions are within acceptable tolerance (3.10mm L vs. 3.20mm L for Samsung).

KTR18EZPF1604 (Rohm Semiconductor): Direct equivalent with Active product status and highest inventory availability (107,018 pieces). Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and high voltage features. Recommended for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability or high voltage environments. Tape and reel packaging standard.

ERJ-8ENF1604V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Electrical and mechanical equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Product status is "Not For New Designs," limiting applicability to legacy system maintenance or replacement scenarios only. Inventory is substantial (56,188 pieces). Use only when original design specification explicitly requires Panasonic components or when supporting existing production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071M6L replace RC3216F165CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance (1.6 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The primary difference is packaging format (tape and reel vs. bulk) and manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: All three maintain identical electrical specifications and 1206 package compatibility. RC1206FR-071M6L and KTR18EZPF1604 are both Active products suitable for new designs. ERJ-8ENF1604V is marked "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for legacy system support. KTR18EZPF1604 includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and high voltage features not present in the other options.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. RC3216F165CS and ERJ-8ENF1604V both measure 3.20mm L, while RC1206FR-071M6L measures 3.10mm L. All three measure 1.60mm W. Height-seated maximum ranges from 0.65mm to 0.70mm. These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for 1206 package footprints.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new product development?

A: For new designs, select either RC1206FR-071M6L (YAGEO) or KTR18EZPF1604 (Rohm), both with Active product status. Choose KTR18EZPF1604 if automotive qualification (AEC-Q200) or high voltage capability is required. Choose RC1206FR-071M6L for standard industrial applications.

Q: Is MSL rating identical across all parts?

A: Yes. All four parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F165CS, RC1206FR-071M6L, ERJ-8ENF1604V, and KTR18EZPF1604 are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
