Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F5361CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (5.36 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match or exceed the original specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (1206 / 3216 Metric) and number of terminations (2) must be identical. Physical dimensions and height must be compatible with PCB footprints designed for the original part.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) are required. REACH unaffected status applies to all listed substitutes.

Composition & Features: Thick film construction is maintained across all substitutes. Moisture resistance is a standard feature for this product category.

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

• RC1206FR-075K36L (YAGEO) – Direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications
• CRCW12065K36FKEA (Vishay Dale) – Equivalent with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification
• ERJ-8ENF5361V (Panasonic Electronic Components) – Equivalent with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification; product status is Not For New Designs

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: RC1206FR-075K36L (YAGEO) is the recommended substitute for new designs and production applications. This part maintains active product status, identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH requirements. Inventory availability (24,176 pieces) supports production continuity.

Automotive Applications: CRCW12065K36FKEA (Vishay Dale) is specified for applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part is actively produced and maintains all electrical and mechanical equivalence to the original RC3216F5361CS. Inventory availability (15,510 pieces) is adequate for automotive production volumes.

Legacy System Support: ERJ-8ENF5361V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides functional equivalence with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. Use is limited to replacement and maintenance of existing systems. Inventory availability (49,018 pieces) remains high despite discontinued new design support.

Compliance Verification: All listed substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). No additional environmental or regulatory screening is required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-075K36L be used as a direct replacement for RC3216F5361CS?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-075K36L meets all electrical specifications (5.36 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), mechanical requirements (1206 package, 2 terminations), and compliance standards (RoHS3, MSL 1). Physical dimensions are compatible with PCB footprints designed for the original part.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12065K36FKEA and RC1206FR-075K36L?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. CRCW12065K36FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification; RC1206FR-075K36L does not specify automotive rating. Selection depends on application requirements. For non-automotive applications, RC1206FR-075K36L is acceptable. For automotive circuits, CRCW12065K36FKEA is specified.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF5361V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF5361V carries a "Not For New Designs" product status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is not actively promoting this part for new circuit designs. Use is restricted to replacement and maintenance of existing systems. For new designs, select RC1206FR-075K36L or CRCW12065K36FKEA.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these substitutes?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 1206 package specification. RC3216F5361CS and CRCW12065K36FKEA are both 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). RC1206FR-075K36L is 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). Height differences range from 0.024" to 0.028" (0.60mm to 0.70mm). All dimensions fall within standard 1206 PCB footprint tolerances and are mechanically compatible.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C ~ 155°C operating temperature range, matching the original RC3216F5361CS specification.

Q: What is the inventory status for each substitute?

A: RC1206FR-075K36L (YAGEO): 24,176 pieces. CRCW12065K36FKEA (Vishay Dale): 15,510 pieces. ERJ-8ENF5361V (Panasonic): 49,018 pieces. All substitutes are available in new original condition.
