Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F473CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 47 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C
• Number of Terminations: 2
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Direct Equivalents meet all primary criteria and are functionally interchangeable without design modification. These parts are classified as "Direct Manufacturer Part Number" substitutes.

Similar Parts meet all primary criteria but include additional features (automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, pulse withstanding capability, or high voltage rating) or differ in secondary parameters such as physical dimensions or packaging format. These parts are classified as "Similar Manufacturer Part Number" substitutes and are suitable for applications where the additional features do not create incompatibility.

Non-Equivalent Parts are excluded from this reference. The part CRCW120647K0FKEAHP (0.75W power rating) and CRCW120647K0FKTA (RoHS non-compliant) do not meet primary substitution criteria and are listed for informational reference only.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Recommended for Standard Applications):

CR1206-FX-4702ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-0747KL (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC3216F473CS. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, temperature performance, and RoHS3 compliance. CR1206-FX-4702ELF is supplied in Tape & Reel format with 81,383 pieces in inventory. RC1206FR-0747KL is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format with 744,870 pieces in inventory, providing maximum supply availability.

Automotive-Qualified Alternatives (For Automotive and High-Reliability Applications):

RMCF1206FT47K0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc), AC1206FR-0747KL (YAGEO), CRCW120647K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), and KTR18EZPF4702 (Rohm Semiconductor) are qualified to automotive standard AEC-Q200. These parts are suitable for automotive applications, industrial equipment, and systems requiring enhanced reliability certification. All four maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical parameters to the main part. AC1206FR-0747KL and KTR18EZPF4702 include additional moisture-resistant or high-voltage features respectively.

Non-Recommended Parts:

CRCW120647K0FKTA (Vishay Dale) is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, making it unsuitable for applications requiring environmental compliance certification. CRCW120647K0FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) has a 0.75W power rating, exceeding the 0.25W specification and creating potential design incompatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-4702ELF replace RC3216F473CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-4702ELF is a direct equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package, and temperature specifications. No design modification is required. The part is ROHS3 compliant and moisture resistant, matching the original specification.

Q: What is the difference between direct equivalents and similar parts?

A: Direct equivalents (CR1206-FX-4702ELF, RC1206FR-0747KL, CRG1206F47K) meet all electrical and mechanical specifications without additional features. Similar parts (RMCF1206FT47K0, AC1206FR-0747KL, CRCW120647K0FKEA, KTR18EZPF4702) include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or enhanced features. Similar parts are functionally compatible but may have different procurement requirements or cost implications.

Q: Are automotive-qualified parts suitable for non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualified parts exceed standard reliability requirements and are fully compatible with non-automotive applications. No design changes are necessary. Automotive qualification provides additional assurance of component quality and consistency.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RC3216F473CS is supplied in bulk format. Direct equivalents are available in Tape & Reel (CR1206-FX-4702ELF) and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel (RC1206FR-0747KL) formats. Automotive-qualified alternatives are supplied in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape & Digi-Reel formats. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and order quantity.

Q: Is CRG1206F47K a suitable substitute?

A: Yes. CRG1206F47K meets all primary substitution criteria with identical electrical specifications and 1206 package. The part is ROHS3 compliant and rated for -55°C to 155°C operation. No additional features are specified, making it suitable for standard applications requiring direct equivalence.

Q: Why is CRCW120647K0FKTA excluded from recommendations?

A: CRCW120647K0FKTA is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, failing to meet environmental compliance requirements specified for the RC3216F473CS. This part is unsuitable for applications requiring ROHS3 certification.

Q: Can CRCW120647K0FKEAHP be used as a substitute?

A: No. CRCW120647K0FKEAHP has a 0.75W power rating, exceeding the 0.25W specification of the RC3216F473CS. This difference creates potential design incompatibility and is not a valid substitute.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: RC1206FR-0747KL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory at 744,870 pieces. CR1206-FX-4702ELF (Bourns) has 81,383 pieces. RMCF1206FT47K0 (Stackpole) has 44,575 pieces. AC1206FR-0747KL (YAGEO) has 47,528 pieces. CRCW120647K0FKEA (Vishay Dale) has 21,458 pieces. KTR18EZPF4702 (Rohm) has 27,801 pieces.
