Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2554CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.55 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)
• Number of terminations: 2

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

The CRCW12062M55FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Both parts share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications. Both are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) format with matching physical dimensions and termination count. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC3216F2554CS and CRCW12062M55FKEA are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations.

The RC3216F2554CS features moisture-resistant construction and is supplied by Samsung Electro-Mechanics with 913 pieces currently in inventory.

The CRCW12062M55FKEA is supplied by Vishay Dale with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and 10834 pieces currently in inventory. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12062M55FKEA replace RC3216F2554CS in any application?

A: Yes, within the scope of the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts share identical resistance (2.55 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and 1206 package dimensions. Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Samsung Electro-Mechanics versus Vishay Dale), packaging format (unspecified versus Tape & Reel), and additional qualification (CRCW12062M55FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive rating). The seated height maximum differs slightly: 0.026" for RC3216F2554CS versus 0.024" for CRCW12062M55FKEA.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical?

A: The length and width dimensions are identical at 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). The maximum seated height differs by 0.002" (0.06mm), which is negligible for standard PCB assembly applications.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 rating on CRCW12062M55FKEA affect substitution?

A: AEC-Q200 is an additional qualification that does not restrict substitution. It indicates the part meets automotive reliability standards. Applications not requiring automotive qualification can use either part.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging options?

A: RC3216F2554CS packaging is unspecified in the provided data. CRCW12062M55FKEA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030.
