RC3216F34R8CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC3216F34R8CS is a 34.8 Ohm ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 1206 (3216 Metric) package configuration. This component is classified as Active product status with moisture resistant characteristics and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating), mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count), and environmental performance parameters (temperature coefficient, operating temperature range, compliance certifications).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F34R8CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value must equal 34.8 Ohms with tolerance of ±1%. Power rating must be 0.25W (1/4W). Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C minimum.

Mechanical Parameters: Package designation must be 1206 (3216 Metric). Number of terminations must be 2. Physical dimensions must be compatible with 1206 footprint specifications.

Compliance Parameters: RoHS3 compliance is required. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is required. REACH Unaffected status applies to all identified substitutes.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. other configurations) does not restrict electrical or mechanical substitution but affects procurement and handling procedures.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-0734R8L (YAGEO): This part maintains Active product status and provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC3216F34R8CS. All critical parameters align without deviation. This substitute is suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications.

CRCW120634R8FKEA (Vishay Dale): This part maintains Active product status and provides direct electrical and mechanical equivalence. The addition of Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification provides enhanced reliability certification for automotive applications. This substitute is suitable for new designs and applications requiring automotive-grade components.

ERJ-8ENF34R8V (Panasonic): This part carries "Not For New Designs" product status designation. While electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent, the product status restricts its use in new design implementations. This substitute is limited to legacy system maintenance, repair, and rework applications only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0734R8L replace RC3216F34R8CS in new product designs?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-0734R8L is electrically and mechanically equivalent with Active product status. All electrical parameters (34.8 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), package configuration (1206), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1) are identical.

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

A: Moisture resistant indicates the component meets moisture protection standards. Automotive AEC-Q200 indicates the component meets additional automotive industry reliability and qualification standards. Both CRCW120634R8FKEA and ERJ-8ENF34R8V carry AEC-Q200 qualification, providing enhanced certification for automotive applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF34R8V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Not For New Designs" is a product lifecycle designation indicating the manufacturer is not recommending this part for new design implementations. This part remains available for existing applications and legacy system support. For new designs, RC1206FR-0734R8L or CRCW120634R8FKEA are recommended.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: All identified substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The main part RC3216F34R8CS does not specify packaging format in the provided data. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly processes.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same temperature operating range?

A: Yes. All four parts (RC3216F34R8CS, RC1206FR-0734R8L, CRCW120634R8FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF34R8V) operate across -55°C to 155°C with identical ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between the parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within 1206 package tolerance. RC3216F34R8CS and CRCW120634R8FKEA both measure 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). RC1206FR-0734R8L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). ERJ-8ENF34R8V measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). All dimensions fall within standard 1206 footprint specifications and are mechanically compatible.
