Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2264CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (2.26 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 boundaries.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric) and termination count (2) are mandatory for PCB footprint compatibility. Dimensional variations within supplier device package specifications are acceptable provided they remain within the 1206 standard envelope.

Material & Composition: Thick film construction and moisture-resistant features must be maintained.

Compliance & Certification: RoHS3 compliance, MSL Level 1 rating, and REACH Unaffected status ensure regulatory and environmental compatibility.

The substitute part RC1206FR-072M26L (YAGEO) satisfies all substitution criteria through identical electrical and functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC1206FR-072M26L (YAGEO) is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RC3216F2264CS (Samsung). Both components maintain identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and thermal specifications. Both are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, confirming suitability for unlimited moisture exposure environments.

Selection between these parts is determined by availability, supply chain requirements, and packaging format preference. The Samsung component is supplied in standard packaging, while the YAGEO substitute is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume automated assembly operations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-072M26L replace RC3216F2264CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (2.26 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and package format (1206 / 3216 Metric). Direct PCB footprint compatibility is confirmed.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 1206 standard specification. RC3216F2264CS measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. RC1206FR-072M26L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with 0.026" max height. Both remain within 1206 package envelope tolerances and are mechanically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between standard packaging and Tape & Reel format?

A: Standard packaging is suitable for manual handling and small-quantity applications. Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical; packaging format affects logistics and assembly methodology only.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both RC3216F2264CS and RC1206FR-072M26L are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, confirming compliance with current environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: What does MSL Level 1 mean for these components?

A: MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 indicates Unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. These components can be stored and handled without desiccant packaging or controlled humidity environments.
