• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The CRCW12065M90FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all critical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions. Both components share identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) are equivalent between the main part and substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The CRCW12065M90FKEA qualifies as a direct substitute for the RC3216F5904CS based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Both components are Active product status with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and thermal specifications. The substitute component includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which represents an additional compliance certification not specified for the original part. The maximum seated height of the substitute (0.024" / 0.60mm) is within acceptable tolerance relative to the original (0.026" / 0.66mm) for standard PCB assembly processes. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility in equivalent application environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12065M90FKEA replace RC3216F5904CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (5.9 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and mechanical dimensions (1206 package, 3.20mm x 1.60mm). Compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99) are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference in seated height between these components?

A: The RC3216F5904CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while the CRCW12065M90FKEA measures 0.024" (0.60mm). This 0.002" (0.06mm) difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 rating on the substitute part affect compatibility?

A: No. AEC-Q200 is an additional automotive qualification on the substitute component. This certification does not conflict with the original part specifications and represents equivalent or enhanced reliability characteristics.

Q: Are packaging formats interchangeable?

A: The RC3216F5904CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the CRCW12065M90FKEA is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package geometry. Tape & Reel format is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect component electrical or mechanical properties.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both components?

A: Both the RC3216F5904CS and CRCW12065M90FKEA are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Moisture Sensitivity Level is 1 (Unlimited) for both components.
