Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3216F2673CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 267 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

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

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard tolerances and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) do not affect functional substitution. Additional features such as Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represent enhanced specifications that provide additional qualification but do not prevent substitution in non-automotive applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, General Purpose): The RC1206FR-07267KL (YAGEO) and RMCF1206FT267K (Stackpole) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support. These parts are suitable for new designs and general-purpose applications requiring standard thick film resistor performance.

Secondary Selection (Automotive-Qualified): The CRCW1206267KFKEA (Vishay Dale) is qualified to Automotive AEC-Q200 standard and maintains Active product status. This part is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and environmental stress screening, while remaining compatible with non-automotive circuit implementations.

Legacy Applications Only: The ERJ-8ENF2673V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for sustaining production of existing designs or replacement in fielded equipment. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

All substitute parts are mechanically compatible with the original RC3216F2673CS and provide electrical equivalence across the specified operating range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-07267KL be used as a direct replacement for RC3216F2673CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (267 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), identical package format (1206 / 3216 Metric), and identical compliance certifications (RoHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1). Physical dimensions vary within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not affect circuit performance or PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer identity and series designation; (2) Product status (Active versus Not For New Designs); (3) Optional certifications (Automotive AEC-Q200 for Vishay Dale, Panasonic, and Stackpole variants); (4) Minor variations in physical dimensions within standard tolerances. These differences do not affect functional substitution in equivalent circuit applications.

Q: Is the Panasonic ERJ-8ENF2673V suitable for new product designs?

A: No. The ERJ-8ENF2673V carries "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued active development and support for this part. New designs should utilize RC1206FR-07267KL, CRCW1206267KFKEA, or RMCF1206FT267K instead.

Q: Do the substitute parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. All substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package format with identical termination count (2 terminations) and compatible land pattern dimensions. Standard 1206 PCB footprints accommodate all listed substitute parts without modification.

Q: Can automotive-qualified parts (CRCW1206267KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2673V, RMCF1206FT267K) be used in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 certification represents enhanced qualification and environmental stress screening. Parts meeting automotive standards are fully compatible with non-automotive applications and provide equivalent or superior performance characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of Moisture Sensitivity Level 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life and no moisture sensitivity. These parts do not require special moisture-controlled storage, desiccant packaging, or bake-out procedures prior to soldering. Standard handling and storage conditions are acceptable.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and use.
