RC3216F2873CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC3216F2873CS is a 287 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features moisture resistance and operates across -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with 1057 units in stock.

Substitute parts are necessary when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design specifications allow for equivalent components from alternative manufacturers that meet identical electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F2873CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 287 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
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance

All substitute parts listed meet these exact specifications. Dimensional variations within supplier tolerances do not affect functional equivalence. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) represents a logistical difference only and does not impact electrical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-07287KL (YAGEO): Direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status. Suitable for new designs and production applications. Packaging available in Tape & Reel format. Inventory availability: 957 units.

CRCW1206287KFKEA (Vishay Dale): Functionally equivalent with active product status and automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Recommended for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Highest inventory availability: 13,997 units. Suitable for new designs.

ERJ-8ENF2873V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Functionally equivalent with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Product status is "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in mature/legacy phase. Use only for replacement or maintenance of existing designs. Highest inventory availability: 57,281 units. Not recommended for new product development.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the primary part's regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-07287KL replace RC3216F2873CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and operating specifications. The 1206 package designation is equivalent to 3216 Metric. Direct substitution is valid.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO and Vishay Dale versions?

A: Both meet the core 287 kOhms ±1% 0.25W 1206 specification. The Vishay Dale CRCW1206287KFKEA carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. Both are active products. Selection depends on application requirements and supply availability.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2873V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in legacy/mature production phase. While functionally equivalent and currently in stock, Panasonic recommends using alternative sources for new product development. It remains suitable for replacement or maintenance of existing equipment.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within supplier tolerances. Length ranges from 3.10mm to 3.20mm, height from 0.60mm to 0.70mm. These variations are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect functional performance or PCB layout compatibility for 1206 footprints.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: RC3216F2873CS is supplied in standard packaging. RC1206FR-07287KL, CRCW1206287KFKEA, and ERJ-8ENF2873V are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format does not affect electrical specifications or component performance.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts including the primary RC3216F2873CS and all substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations.
