Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F1874CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 1.87 MOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match or wider)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

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

Environmental & Compliance Requirements:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (minimum requirement)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. other formats) does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071M87L replace RC3216F1874CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance (1.87 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package (1206), and composition (thick film). Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12061M87FKEA and the other two parts?

A: CRCW12061M87FKEA is electrically and mechanically identical to RC3216F1874CS and RC1206FR-071M87L. The primary distinction is that CRCW12061M87FKEA carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, indicating it meets automotive industry reliability standards. This additional certification does not affect substitution eligibility but provides enhanced qualification documentation for automotive applications.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution?

A: No. All three parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. The 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification is the controlling mechanical parameter.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. RC3216F1874CS and CRCW12061M87FKEA both measure 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). RC1206FR-071M87L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). These variations remain within the 1206 package specification and do not affect substitution compatibility. Height-seated maximum values range from 0.024" to 0.026" across all three parts, all within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For general applications, RC1206FR-071M87L or CRCW12061M87FKEA are both suitable. For automotive applications, CRCW12061M87FKEA is recommended due to AEC-Q200 qualification. All three parts are active products with confirmed inventory availability.

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F1874CS, RC1206FR-071M87L, and CRCW12061M87FKEA are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
