Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3216F1964CS are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute candidates must satisfy the following criteria:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 1.96 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Acceptable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity (different suppliers)
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, Digi-Reel)
• Physical dimensions within 1206 package tolerance
• Additional certifications (e.g., AEC-Q200 automotive qualification)

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: RC1206FR-071M96L (YAGEO) and CRCW12061M96FKEA (Vishay Dale).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-071M96L (YAGEO) qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and RoHS3 compliance. The YAGEO substitute offers higher inventory availability (9211 pieces) compared to the Samsung original. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Physical dimensions are within 1206 package tolerance (3.10mm x 1.60mm length vs. 3.20mm x 1.60mm for Samsung). This substitute is appropriate for applications where supply continuity is the primary concern.

CRCW12061M96FKEA (Vishay Dale) qualifies as an equivalent with additional automotive qualification. This part carries AEC-Q200 certification, indicating suitability for automotive applications with enhanced reliability requirements. Electrical specifications remain identical to the Samsung original. The Vishay substitute offers the highest inventory availability (22267 pieces) and is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats. Physical dimensions match the Samsung original (3.20mm x 1.60mm). This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade components or when maximum supply availability is required.

Both substitutes maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. Selection between substitutes depends on packaging format requirements and application-specific needs (general industrial vs. automotive).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071M96L replace RC3216F1964CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1.96 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and regulatory compliance (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected). Physical dimensions are within 1206 package tolerance. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. standard).

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: RC1206FR-071M96L (YAGEO) is a standard industrial-grade equivalent. CRCW12061M96FKEA (Vishay Dale) includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is supplied in Cut Tape/Digi-Reel format. Electrical performance is identical; the Vishay part is specified for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability documentation.

Q: Are there packaging compatibility issues when substituting?

A: The RC3216F1964CS uses standard packaging. RC1206FR-071M96L is supplied in Tape & Reel format. CRCW12061M96FKEA is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format. Both formats are compatible with standard pick-and-place assembly equipment. Verify your assembly process accepts the specific packaging format before procurement.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All three parts (Samsung original and both substitutes) are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling procedures apply.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for new designs?

A: For general industrial applications, either substitute is acceptable. For automotive applications or designs requiring automotive-grade component documentation, select CRCW12061M96FKEA (Vishay Dale). For maximum supply availability with standard industrial specifications, select RC1206FR-071M96L (YAGEO).

Q: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The Samsung original (RC3216F1964CS), YAGEO substitute (RC1206FR-071M96L), and Vishay substitute (CRCW12061M96FKEA) are all ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.
