Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the RC3216F82R5CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 82.5 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match or wider)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)

Compliance & Environmental Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected (exact match)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC3216F82R5CS in standard circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-0782R5L (YAGEO): This substitute maintains Active product status with full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC3216F82R5CS. All critical parameters align precisely. This part is suitable for both new designs and replacement applications.

CRCW120682R5FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute maintains Active product status and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. All electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent. The automotive rating provides additional qualification for applications requiring automotive-grade components.

ERJ-8ENF82R5V (Panasonic Electronic Components): This substitute carries "Not For New Designs" product status, indicating it is in mature or end-of-life phase. While electrically and mechanically equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, this part is restricted to replacement and legacy application support only. New design implementations should not select this part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0782R5L replace RC3216F82R5CS in all applications?

A: Yes. RC1206FR-0782R5L is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all specified parameters. Both components share identical resistance value (82.5 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package format (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH Unaffected, MSL 1).

Q: What is the difference between CRCW120682R5FKEA and ERJ-8ENF82R5V?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RC3216F82R5CS. The primary difference is product status: CRCW120682R5FKEA is Active and suitable for new designs, while ERJ-8ENF82R5V is marked "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for replacement applications in existing products.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. RC3216F82R5CS and CRCW120682R5FKEA both measure 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm), while RC1206FR-0782R5L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). Height differences range from 0.024" to 0.028" (0.60mm to 0.70mm). These variations remain within 1206 package specification tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly or circuit performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same packaging format?

A: The RC3216F82R5CS is supplied in standard packaging, while RC1206FR-0782R5L, CRCW120682R5FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF82R5V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both packaging formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: Both CRCW120682R5FKEA and ERJ-8ENF82R5V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For new automotive designs, CRCW120682R5FKEA is the appropriate selection due to Active product status. For existing automotive product support, ERJ-8ENF82R5V remains available despite "Not For New Designs" status.
