Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3216F26R7CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value of 26.7 Ohms, tolerance of ±1%, and power rating of 0.25W must be identical across all substitute candidates.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation of 1206 (3216 Metric) ensures physical and footprint compatibility on printed circuit boards.

Environmental Specifications: Temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C must be maintained.

Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) are required for substitution eligibility.

Composition: Thick film construction is the specified technology for all qualified substitutes.

Three substitute parts meet these criteria: RC1206FR-0726R7L (YAGEO), CRCW120626R7FKEA (Vishay Dale), and ERJ-8ENF26R7V (Panasonic Electronic Components).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-0726R7L (YAGEO): This substitute maintains Active product status and meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. The part is available in Tape & Reel packaging with high inventory levels (10,921 pcs). Physical dimensions show minor variation (3.10mm L vs. 3.20mm L) and height (0.65mm vs. 0.66mm), which remain within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 package format.

CRCW120626R7FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification in addition to standard specifications. Active product status and ROHS3 compliance are confirmed. Physical dimensions match the original part exactly (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W). Height is slightly reduced (0.60mm vs. 0.66mm), which is acceptable for standard PCB assembly processes. Inventory availability is high (12,565 pcs).

ERJ-8ENF26R7V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and meets all electrical specifications. However, product status is listed as "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in end-of-life phase. Physical dimensions match the original (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W), but height is increased (0.70mm vs. 0.66mm). Despite high inventory (50,842 pcs), this part is not recommended for new design implementations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0726R7L be used as a direct replacement for RC3216F26R7CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (26.7 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) format. Minor dimensional variations (length 3.10mm vs. 3.20mm, height 0.65mm vs. 0.66mm) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functionality or compatibility.

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

A: The RC3216F26R7CS features moisture-resistant thick film construction for general industrial applications. CRCW120626R7FKEA and ERJ-8ENF26R7V include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which indicates compliance with automotive reliability and quality standards. Both feature sets are compatible with the same electrical and mechanical requirements; AEC-Q200 qualification represents an additional quality assurance level suitable for automotive environments.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF26R7V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in end-of-life phase and the manufacturer is not recommending it for new product development. While the part meets all technical specifications and remains in inventory, YAGEO RC1206FR-0726R7L or Vishay Dale CRCW120626R7FKEA are preferred for new designs due to their Active product status.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-0726R7L, CRCW120626R7FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF26R7V are all ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), matching the original RC3216F26R7CS specifications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for substitute parts?

A: All three substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated PCB assembly processes. This differs from the original part specification, which does not specify packaging format in the provided data.
