Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F2742CS is determined by strict equivalence of the following parameters: resistance value (27.4 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). All identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) does not affect functional substitutability. Differences in product status, application-specific certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification), and maximum seated height do not prevent substitution when electrical and thermal performance requirements are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CR1206-FX-2742ELF (Bourns Inc.) is a direct equivalent with Active product status. This part maintains all electrical specifications and is suitable for new designs requiring standard industrial-grade thick film resistors with moisture-resistant construction.

CRCW120627K4FKEA (Vishay Dale) is functionally equivalent with Active product status and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability and extended qualification documentation, despite identical electrical performance to the base part.

ERJ-8ENF2742V (Panasonic Electronic Components) maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is available in high inventory quantity and may be used for legacy system maintenance, repair, or replacement applications where design freeze conditions apply. New circuit designs should prioritize parts with Active status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-2742ELF replace RC3216F2742CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (27.4 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Functional performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and AEC-Q200 variants? A: The RC3216F2742CS and CR1206-FX-2742ELF are specified as moisture-resistant thick film resistors for general applications. The CRCW120627K4FKEA and ERJ-8ENF2742V include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating additional testing and reliability requirements for automotive environments. All four parts meet identical electrical specifications.

Q: Does the difference in maximum seated height affect substitutability? A: No. Seated height variations (0.024" to 0.030") are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect electrical performance or circuit board layout compatibility for standard PCB designs. Height differences may only be relevant for space-constrained applications with specific height restrictions.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2742V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. However, the part remains functionally equivalent and available for legacy system support, maintenance, and repair applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All four parts (RC3216F2742CS, CR1206-FX-2742ELF, CRCW120627K4FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF2742V) are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.
