Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 2.61 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)

Allowable Variations:

• Manufacturer identity (different suppliers)
• Packaging format (Cut Tape vs. Tape & Reel)
• Physical dimensions within tolerance (length 0.122" to 0.126", height 0.024" to 0.030")
• Additional certifications (AEC-Q200 automotive qualification)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with RC3216F2611CS.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-2611ELF replace RC3216F2611CS directly?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-2611ELF meets all mandatory electrical parameters (2.61 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and package specification (1206). Both components are RoHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1. Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance (height 0.030" maximum vs. 0.026" maximum for original).

Q: What is the difference between moisture resistant and automotive AEC-Q200 variants?

A: Moisture resistant variants (CR1206-FX-2611ELF, RC1206FR-072K61L) are specified for general industrial applications with moisture protection. Automotive AEC-Q200 variants (RMCF1206FT2K61, AC1206FR-072K61L, CRCW12062K61FKEA) include additional qualification testing for automotive reliability standards. AC1206FR-072K61L combines both moisture resistant and AEC-Q200 features.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: RC3216F2611CS is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment compatibility and procurement volume requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2611V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF2611V carries legacy product status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is not actively developing this product line. The component remains electrically and mechanically compatible but should not be selected for new circuit designs. Use for replacement or maintenance of existing systems only.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts and the original RC3216F2611CS are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level). All components are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Q: What is the significance of ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient ±100ppm/°C specifies the maximum resistance change per degree Celsius across the operating range. All substitute parts maintain this specification, ensuring equivalent thermal stability and circuit performance across -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range.
