RC3216F2871CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RC3216F2871CS is a 2.87 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 1206 (3216 Metric) package format. This component features moisture-resistant construction with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operates across the -55°C to 155°C temperature range. The part maintains Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, inventory depletion, or when design requirements mandate specific certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The substitute parts listed maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence while offering alternative sourcing options and feature sets.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2871CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.87 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mandatory Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating
• REACH Unaffected status

All substitute parts listed meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and optional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not disqualify parts from substitution eligibility but may influence selection based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): RC1206FR-072K87L (YAGEO) and CRCW12062K87FKEA (Vishay Dale) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. YAGEO's RC1206FR-072K87L offers moisture-resistant construction matching the original part's feature set. Vishay Dale's CRCW12062K87FKEA provides automotive AEC-Q200 certification for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.

Secondary Selection (Automotive Applications): RMCF1206FT2K87 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) is suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications due to AEC-Q200 qualification. This part maintains Active status with full manufacturing support.

Avoid for New Designs: ERJ-8ENF2871V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" status despite AEC-Q200 certification. MCR18ERTF2871 (Rohm Semiconductor) is discontinued at DiGi Electronics and should not be selected for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance.

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original RC3216F2871CS specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-8ENF2871V replace RC3216F2871CS in new designs? A: ERJ-8ENF2871V meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. For new designs, select YAGEO RC1206FR-072K87L or Vishay Dale CRCW12062K87FKEA instead.

Q: What is the difference between moisture-resistant and automotive AEC-Q200 variants? A: Moisture-resistant variants (RC3216F2871CS, RC1206FR-072K87L) provide protection against humidity exposure. Automotive AEC-Q200 variants (ERJ-8ENF2871V, CRCW12062K87FKEA, RMCF1206FT2K87) meet automotive industry reliability standards including thermal cycling and stress testing. Both feature sets are independent; selection depends on application requirements.

Q: Are physical dimension variations within the 1206 package critical? A: All substitute parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification. Minor variations in length (0.120" to 0.126"), width (0.061" to 0.063"), and height (0.024" to 0.028") remain within standard 1206 tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability? A: YAGEO RC1206FR-072K87L, Vishay Dale CRCW12062K87FKEA, and Stackpole Electronics RMCF1206FT2K87 all maintain Active product status. YAGEO and Vishay Dale offer the highest inventory levels (1637 and 29182 units respectively) at the time of this reference.

Q: Can MCR18ERTF2871 be used as a substitute? A: MCR18ERTF2871 meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Use only for legacy system repairs or when existing inventory is available. For new applications, select an Active-status alternative.

Q: Does packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affect substitution eligibility? A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility. Selection between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape depends on assembly process requirements and volume considerations, not component compatibility.
