Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F7871CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (7.87 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C), and regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, EAR99). All identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are categorized as direct equivalents or similar variants based on feature alignment and product status.

Direct Equivalents maintain identical electrical performance and standard industrial specifications:

  • CR1206-FX-7871ELF (Bourns Inc.)
  • RC1206FR-077K87L (YAGEO)

Similar Variants provide equivalent electrical performance with additional automotive qualification:

  • CRCW12067K87FKEA (Vishay Dale) — AEC-Q200 rated
  • ERJ-8ENF7871V (Panasonic Electronic Components) — AEC-Q200 rated, Not For New Designs status

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Standard Industrial Applications: CR1206-FX-7871ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-077K87L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents to the RC3216F7871CS. Both maintain active product status and identical electrical specifications. Selection between these options is based on supply availability and procurement preferences.

For Automotive Applications: CRCW12067K87FKEA (Vishay Dale) provides AEC-Q200 automotive qualification while maintaining all core electrical parameters. This variant is suitable for automotive-grade circuit designs requiring enhanced reliability standards.

For Legacy or Constrained Designs: ERJ-8ENF7871V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification but is designated as Not For New Designs. This part is available for existing designs or applications where legacy component continuity is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-7871ELF replace RC3216F7871CS in existing designs? A: Yes. CR1206-FX-7871ELF is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications (7.87 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, 1206 package, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range) and equivalent regulatory compliance (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected).

Q: What is the difference between standard and AEC-Q200 variants? A: CRCW12067K87FKEA and ERJ-8ENF7871V include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and qualification for automotive applications. Standard variants (RC3216F7871CS, CR1206-FX-7871ELF, RC1206FR-077K87L) are suitable for general industrial use.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitutes? A: All parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. Minor variations exist in maximum seated height: RC3216F7871CS (0.66mm), CR1206-FX-7871ELF (0.75mm), RC1206FR-077K87L (0.65mm), CRCW12067K87FKEA (0.60mm), and ERJ-8ENF7871V (0.70mm). These variations are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF7871V marked as Not For New Designs? A: ERJ-8ENF7871V carries a Not For New Designs status from Panasonic Electronic Components.
