Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 1.69 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (mandatory)
• MSL 1 rating (mandatory)
• REACH unaffected status (mandatory)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification do not affect functional substitution. Packaging format (Tape & Reel) differences are logistical considerations only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Direct Equivalent): RC1206FR-071K69L (YAGEO) is the direct equivalent substitute. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status. Higher inventory availability (44,477 units) supports supply chain continuity.

Upgrade Selection (Enhanced Specification): AC1206FR-071K69L (YAGEO) and CRCW12061K69FKEA (Vishay Dale) both incorporate AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to base specifications. These parts are suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. AC1206FR-071K69L maintains active status with 5,726 units available. CRCW12061K69FKEA provides 19,802 units in inventory.

Legacy Consideration: ERJ-8ENF1691V (Panasonic) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for maintenance, repair, or existing design continuation where supply from active alternatives is unavailable. Inventory of 32,860 units is available.

Selection Basis:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturing consistency
• AEC-Q200 qualification provides enhanced reliability for demanding applications
• Inventory levels support procurement requirements
• All candidates maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071K69L replace RC3216F1691CS directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications with matching electrical parameters (1.69 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C). Physical dimension variations within the 1206 package specification do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between RC1206FR-071K69L and AC1206FR-071K69L?

A: Both are YAGEO 1206 package resistors with identical base electrical specifications. AC1206FR-071K69L includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability testing and qualification. RC1206FR-071K69L is the standard industrial-grade equivalent.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1691V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This Panasonic part meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence requirements but carries legacy status. Manufacturers designate parts as "Not For New Designs" when transitioning product lines. This part remains suitable for existing design maintenance and repair but should not be selected for new circuit development.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these substitutes?

A: All identified substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The main part RC3216F1691CS specifies packaging as "-" (unspecified). Tape & Reel format is standard for automated assembly. If bulk or alternative packaging is required, contact the manufacturer directly.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS3 and MSL 1 requirements?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the main part specification. This ensures regulatory compliance and storage/handling compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply availability?

A: RC1206FR-071K69L (YAGEO) provides the highest inventory level at 44,477 units, followed by ERJ-8ENF1691V (Panasonic) at 32,860 units. For applications requiring immediate availability, RC1206FR-071K69L is the optimal selection.

Q: Can automotive-grade substitutes be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. AC1206FR-071K69L and CRCW12061K69FKEA are automotive-qualified parts that exceed standard industrial specifications. These parts are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and provide enhanced reliability margins.
