Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F7154CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 7.15 MOhms
• 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
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

The CRCW12067M15FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Physical dimensions remain within specification, and compliance certifications are equivalent. The substitute part includes automotive-grade AEC-Q200 qualification, which represents an additional qualification level beyond the base requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RC3216F7154CS and CRCW12067M15FKEA are active production components with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and application-specific certifications.

The RC3216F7154CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics is suitable for general industrial applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction with standard compliance.

The CRCW12067M15FKEA from Vishay Dale carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it appropriate for automotive and automotive-grade applications. This part is available in Tape & Reel packaging format. The seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm) compared to 0.026" (0.66mm) for the Samsung part, which may be relevant for space-constrained PCB layouts.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range and meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12067M15FKEA replace RC3216F7154CS in any application?

A: Yes, the CRCW12067M15FKEA meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the RC3216F7154CS. Both parts share identical resistance (7.15 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Physical dimensions are equivalent, and compliance certifications align.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The RC3216F7154CS is supplied in standard packaging format. The CRCW12067M15FKEA is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are there height differences between these resistors?

A: The RC3216F7154CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while the CRCW12067M15FKEA has a maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). Both dimensions are within the 1206 package specification. The 0.002" difference may be relevant for applications with strict height constraints.

Q: Does the AEC-Q200 qualification on the Vishay part affect compatibility?

A: AEC-Q200 is an additional automotive qualification that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. The CRCW12067M15FKEA can be used in any application where the RC3216F7154CS is specified.

Q: Are both parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both the RC3216F7154CS and CRCW12067M15FKEA are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.
