Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F6341CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.34 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
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within acceptable tolerances do not affect substitutability. Packaging format differences (bulk versus tape & reel) represent logistics variations only and do not impact electrical performance or circuit compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, Standard Application): RC1206FR-076K34L (YAGEO) is the preferred direct substitute. This part maintains Active product status, identical electrical specifications, and standard industrial compliance. Inventory availability is substantial at 22,740 pieces.

Alternative Selection (Automotive Applications): CRCW12066K34FKEA (Vishay Dale) is suitable for applications requiring AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part carries Active status and automotive-grade certification while maintaining all core electrical parameters. Inventory availability is 21,113 pieces.

Legacy/Existing Design Continuation: ERJ-8ENF6341V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" status and is classified as legacy. This part is suitable only for sustaining existing production or repair of fielded equipment. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is included. Inventory availability is 56,625 pieces. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-076K34L replace RC3216F6341CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (6.34 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), package format (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimension variations (length 3.10mm vs 3.20mm, height 0.65mm vs 0.66mm) are within acceptable PCB layout tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12066K34FKEA and the original part? A: CRCW12066K34FKEA is electrically and mechanically equivalent but includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This certification is required for automotive applications but is not necessary for standard industrial or consumer electronics. Height is slightly lower (0.60mm vs 0.66mm).

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF6341V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: Panasonic has classified this part as legacy. While it meets all electrical and mechanical requirements, new circuit designs should utilize active alternatives such as RC1206FR-076K34L or CRCW12066K34FKEA to ensure long-term supply continuity and manufacturer support.

Q: Are packaging differences (bulk vs tape & reel) significant for substitution? A: No. Packaging format affects only logistics and handling. Tape & reel packaging (TR) is standard for automated assembly but does not alter electrical performance or circuit compatibility. The component itself is identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB? A: Yes, provided the PCB layout accommodates the maximum physical dimensions of the substitute part. All identified substitutes fit within 1206 package specifications and are footprint-compatible.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts? A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes. HTSUS code 8533.21.0030 applies uniformly.
