Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3216F17R4CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 17.4 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Composition: Thick Film
• Moisture resistance capability
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH unaffected status

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical specifications and package compatibility. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) remain within acceptable tolerances for 1206 package standard footprints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-0717R4L (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with Active product status. Identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Tape & Reel packaging suitable for automated assembly. Recommended for new designs requiring standard moisture-resistant thick film construction.

CRCW120617R4FKEA (Vishay Dale): Functionally equivalent with Active product status. Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Tape & Reel packaging format.

ERJ-8ENF17R4V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Functionally equivalent but classified as Not For New Designs. Includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where existing design validation exists. Tape & Reel packaging format.

All three substitute parts maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original RC3216F17R4CS specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0717R4L replace RC3216F17R4CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical resistance (17.4 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions remain within 1206 footprint tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between standard and automotive-qualified substitutes?

A: CRCW120617R4FKEA and ERJ-8ENF17R4V include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The original RC3216F17R4CS does not specify automotive qualification. Automotive-qualified parts meet additional reliability and testing standards required for automotive applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF17R4V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development for new applications. The part remains available for existing designs and legacy system support. For new designs, RC1206FR-0717R4L or CRCW120617R4FKEA are preferred alternatives.

Q: Are all substitutes available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-0717R4L, CRCW120617R4FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF17R4V are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance of the original RC3216F17R4CS.

Q: What are the physical dimension variations among substitutes?

A: Length ranges from 3.10mm to 3.20mm; width is consistent at 1.60mm; height ranges from 0.60mm to 0.70mm. All variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and are mechanically interchangeable on standard PCB footprints.
