Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F1692CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Resistance value: 16.9 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package / Case: 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

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) do not affect functional substitution when the core electrical and thermal specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-0716K9L (YAGEO): This part is the primary direct substitute for the RC3216F1692CS. Both components share identical electrical specifications and are classified as Active products. YAGEO's RC1206FR-0716K9L is available in Tape & Reel packaging format, which is suitable for automated assembly processes. This part is recommended for applications where the original Samsung component is unavailable and standard industrial-grade specifications are sufficient.

CRCW120616K9FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade qualification. The CRCW120616K9FKEA carries AEC-Q200 certification and maintains all electrical equivalence parameters. This component is recommended for automotive and harsh-environment applications where enhanced reliability standards are mandated by design specifications.

ERJ-8ENF1692V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This part meets all electrical and thermal specifications and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. However, this component is classified as Not For New Designs. The ERJ-8ENF1692V is suitable only for legacy system maintenance, repair, and obsolescence management where existing designs must be sustained with compatible components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0716K9L replace RC3216F1692CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and thermally equivalent with identical resistance (16.9 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The primary difference is packaging format: RC3216F1692CS is supplied in bulk, while RC1206FR-0716K9L is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This difference does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW120616K9FKEA and the other substitutes?

A: CRCW120616K9FKEA is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards, whereas RC3216F1692CS and RC1206FR-0716K9L do not carry this specification. All three parts are electrically identical. CRCW120616K9FKEA is recommended when automotive-grade reliability is required by design or regulatory specifications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1692V marked as Not For New Designs?

A: ERJ-8ENF1692V carries a Not For New Designs product status designation from Panasonic Electronic Components. This classification indicates that the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new product development. However, the component remains electrically and thermally equivalent and is suitable for sustaining existing designs or repair applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F1692CS, RC1206FR-0716K9L, CRCW120616K9FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1692V are all ROHS3 Compliant. All substitute parts maintain the same environmental compliance status as the original component.

Q: What is the significance of Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. All listed substitute parts carry this same MSL rating, ensuring equivalent handling and storage requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automated assembly?

A: RC1206FR-0716K9L, CRCW120616K9FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF1692V are all supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, which is compatible with standard automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. RC3216F1692CS is supplied in bulk format and requires manual handling or custom tape preparation for automated assembly.
