Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2323CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 232 kOhms
• 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)

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard manufacturing tolerances and differences in product status or feature sets (such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification) do not disqualify substitution when core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-07232KL (YAGEO): Direct substitute with Active product status. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical to the main part.
