RC3216F1823CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC3216F1823CS is a 182 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The RC series resistor is designed for general-purpose applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when specific application requirements necessitate components with enhanced certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status, General Purpose):

CR1206-FX-1823ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-07182KL (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents with Active product status. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications and RoHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications where automotive certification is not required.

Automotive-Qualified Substitutes (AEC-Q200 Certified):

RMCF1206FT182K and RMCF1206FG182K (Stackpole Electronics Inc.) and CRCW1206182KFKEA (Vishay Dale) provide AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in addition to all baseline electrical parameters. These components are appropriate for automotive and high-reliability applications where AEC-Q200 certification is specified or preferred.

Discontinued Parts:

ERJ-8ENF1823V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" status and MCR18ERTF1823 (Rohm Semiconductor) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. These parts should not be selected for new designs but may be used for legacy system maintenance or repair applications where existing inventory exists.

Selection Criteria:

For general-purpose applications: Select from Active status parts without AEC-Q200 requirement
For automotive applications: Select RMCF or CRCW series with AEC-Q200 certification
For legacy system support: Discontinued parts may be used if inventory is available and application does not require new design qualification

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RC3216F1823CS with any of the listed equivalent parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters (182 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, 1206 package, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range, RoHS3 compliance, MSL 1). Physical dimensions show minor variations within acceptable tolerances for the 1206 form factor. Verify that your application does not require specific certifications such as AEC-Q200 before selecting a general-purpose substitute.

Q: What is the difference between parts with and without AEC-Q200 certification?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates the component meets automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. Parts with AEC-Q200 (RMCF1206FT182K, RMCF1206FG182K, CRCW1206182KFKEA) are qualified for automotive applications. Parts without AEC-Q200 (CR1206-FX-1823ELF, RC1206FR-07182KL) are suitable for general-purpose and consumer applications. Select based on your application requirements.

Q: Why is MCR18ERTF1823 listed as discontinued?

A: MCR18ERTF1823 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, indicating limited future availability. This part should not be selected for new designs. Use Active status alternatives such as CR1206-FX-1823ELF, RC1206FR-07182KL, RMCF1206FT182K, or CRCW1206182KFKEA for new applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor physical dimension variations exist within the 1206 package specification. Length ranges from 0.120" to 0.126" (3.05mm to 3.20mm), width is 0.063" (1.60mm), and height ranges from 0.024" to 0.030" (0.60mm to 0.75mm). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB footprints designed for 1206 components. Verify your PCB layout accommodates the maximum height specification of the selected substitute.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture exposure precautions. All listed parts carry MSL 1 rating, meaning they do not require special moisture-controlled storage or handling procedures prior to soldering.

Q: Can I use ERJ-8ENF1823V in a new design?

A: No. ERJ-8ENF1823V carries "Not For New Designs" status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new applications. Select an Active status alternative instead. ERJ-8ENF1823V may only be used for maintenance or repair of existing systems where this part is already in use.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: RC1206FR-07182KL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory level at 130,537 pieces in stock. CR1206-FX-1823ELF (Bourns Inc.) has 25,672 pieces, and RMCF1206FG182K (Stackpole Electronics Inc.) has 22,118 pieces available. All three represent strong availability for immediate procurement.
