Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 8.06 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant

Secondary Consideration:

• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W) for direct equivalents; 0.75W (3/4W) for enhanced capability substitutes

Substitute parts are classified into two categories:

Direct Equivalents maintain identical power ratings (0.25W) and all primary parameters. These parts provide one-to-one functional replacement without circuit redesign.

Similar Substitutes maintain all primary parameters but may differ in power rating or include additional certifications (AEC-Q200 automotive qualification). These parts are compatible but require verification of power dissipation requirements in the target application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Product Designs:

CR1206-FX-8061ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-078K06L (YAGEO) are preferred direct equivalents. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the RC3216F8061CS with Active product status. CR1206-FX-8061ELF offers the highest inventory availability (52160 pieces), supporting supply chain continuity. RC1206FR-078K06L provides an alternative with substantial stock (12803 pieces).

For Automotive or Enhanced Reliability Applications:

CRCW12068K06FKEA (Vishay Dale) is a direct equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This part meets all primary parameters while providing additional environmental and reliability testing per automotive standards. Inventory is available at 4103 pieces.

For Higher Power Dissipation Requirements:

CRCW12068K06FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) provides 0.75W power rating in the same 1206 package with AEC-Q200 qualification. This part is suitable when circuit analysis indicates power dissipation exceeding 0.25W but remaining within 0.75W limits. Stock availability is 5974 pieces.

Not Recommended for New Designs:

ERJ-8ENF8061V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" status despite meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications. While available in high quantity (50498 pieces), this designation indicates manufacturer discontinuation planning. Use only for legacy system maintenance or repair applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-8061ELF directly replace RC3216F8061CS without circuit modification?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-8061ELF is a direct equivalent with identical resistance (8.06 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12068K06FKEA and CRCW12068K06FKEAHP?

A: Both parts are Vishay Dale products with identical resistance, tolerance, package, and temperature specifications. The primary difference is power rating: CRCW12068K06FKEA is rated 0.25W (1/4W), while CRCW12068K06FKEAHP is rated 0.75W (3/4W) with pulse withstanding capability. Both include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Select based on actual power dissipation requirements in your circuit.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF8061V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that Panasonic Electronic Components has discontinued or plans to discontinue this product line. While the part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications and remains in stock, it should not be selected for new product development. Use existing inventory only for legacy system support or repair applications.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts that affect PCB layout?

A: Dimensional variations exist within tolerance. RC3216F8061CS has maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while CR1206-FX-8061ELF is 0.030" (0.75mm) and RC1206FR-078K06L is 0.026" (0.65mm). Length dimensions also vary slightly (3.20mm vs 3.10mm). For high-density layouts or applications with height constraints, verify specific dimensions against PCB design requirements.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, identical to the RC3216F8061CS. This indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions and unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply chain availability?

A: CR1206-FX-8061ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides the highest inventory at 52160 pieces, followed by ERJ-8ENF8061V (Panasonic) at 50498 pieces. However, ERJ-8ENF8061V is not recommended for new designs. For active product development, CR1206-FX-8061ELF is the optimal choice for supply continuity.
