Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F1R3CS is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (1.3 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric), physical dimensions, and termination count (2) must match or be within acceptable board-level tolerances.

Environmental & Compliance: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), moisture resistance classification, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL rating (1) must be maintained.

Composition: Thick film construction is required for functional equivalence.

The RC1206FR-071R3L from YAGEO meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC3216F1R3CS and RC1206FR-071R3L are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and supply chain requirements rather than functional differences.

The RC3216F1R3CS is supplied in standard packaging with 1166 pieces currently in stock. The RC1206FR-071R3L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format with 1240 pieces in inventory. Both components satisfy identical electrical and mechanical requirements for 1206 package applications requiring 1.3 Ohm ±1% resistors rated at 0.25W.

The RC1206FR-071R3L exhibits a lower temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C versus ±300ppm/°C), which may provide improved stability in temperature-sensitive applications, though both remain within acceptable ranges for standard industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-071R3L replace RC3216F1R3CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (1.3 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), package type (1206), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Physical dimensions and termination count are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in temperature coefficient between these parts?

A: The RC3216F1R3CS has a temperature coefficient of ±300ppm/°C, while the RC1206FR-071R3L has ±200ppm/°C. This difference indicates the RC1206FR-071R3L maintains tighter resistance stability across temperature variations. For most applications, both coefficients are acceptable.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The RC3216F1R3CS is supplied in standard packaging. The RC1206FR-071R3L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are 1206 (3216 Metric) package components with identical physical dimensions and board-level compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS and REACH requirements?

A: Yes. Both RC3216F1R3CS and RC1206FR-071R3L are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these resistors?

A: Both components have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
