Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 69.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Substitutes are classified as either Direct (functionally identical across all parameters) or Similar (functionally equivalent with additional certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitutes (Functionally Identical):

CR1206-FX-6982ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-0769K8L (YAGEO) are direct substitutes with active product status. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and operating parameters. CR1206-FX-6982ELF offers higher inventory availability (25,459 units) compared to RC1206FR-0769K8L (16,125 units).

Similar Substitutes (Functionally Equivalent with Additional Certifications):

CRCW120669K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-8ENF6982V (Panasonic Electronic Components) are functionally equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. CRCW120669K8FKEA maintains active product status with 15,159 units in stock. ERJ-8ENF6982V carries "Not For New Designs" status and should be avoided for new applications despite 5,451 units in inventory.

Recommendation Priority:

1. CR1206-FX-6982ELF (Bourns) – Direct substitute, active status, highest availability
2. RC1206FR-0769K8L (YAGEO) – Direct substitute, active status
3. CRCW120669K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) – Similar substitute with AEC-Q200, active status
4. ERJ-8ENF6982V (Panasonic) – Not recommended for new designs

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-6982ELF replace RC3216F6982CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-6982ELF is a direct substitute with identical resistance (69.8 kΩ), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).

Q: What is the difference between direct and similar substitutes?

A: Direct substitutes (CR1206-FX-6982ELF, RC1206FR-0769K8L) match all electrical and mechanical parameters without additional certifications. Similar substitutes (CRCW120669K8FKEA, ERJ-8ENF6982V) add AEC-Q200 automotive qualification while maintaining functional equivalence.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF6982V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF6982V carries obsolescence status indicating the manufacturer is phasing out this part number. While electrically equivalent, it should not be selected for new product development.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between substitute parts?

A: All substitutes use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprints. Physical dimensions vary slightly (length 3.10mm to 3.20mm, height 0.60mm to 0.75mm), but these variations remain within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: CR1206-FX-6982ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides the highest stock level at 25,459 units, followed by RC1206FR-0769K8L (YAGEO) at 16,125 units.

Q: Can CRCW120669K8FKEA be used in automotive applications?

A: CRCW120669K8FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive-grade applications. The main part RC3216F6982CS does not carry this certification.
