Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2054CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (2.05 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) establish thermal performance equivalence.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric) and number of terminations (2) ensure physical fit and solderability in the original circuit layout.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) confirm regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Composition & Features: Thick film construction with moisture-resistant properties maintains performance characteristics in specified operating conditions.

The substitute part RC1206FR-072M05L meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC3216F2054CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-072M05L replace RC3216F2054CS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance (2.05 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. RC3216F2054CS measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. RC1206FR-072M05L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. These differences do not affect PCB layout compatibility or soldering performance in standard 1206 footprints.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: RC3216F2054CS is supplied in standard packaging format. RC1206FR-072M05L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Both formats contain the same component specifications.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RC3216F2054CS and RC1206FR-072M05L are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both parts.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on supply availability and packaging requirements. For automated assembly, RC1206FR-072M05L in Tape & Reel format is standard. For manual assembly or prototype applications, either part is suitable. Verify current inventory and lead times with your supplier.
