Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F8871CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (8.87 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) establish thermal performance boundaries.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric) and number of terminations (2) are mandatory for PCB footprint compatibility. Physical dimensions and height specifications must accommodate board layout constraints.

Compliance & Environmental: RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating (1 - Unlimited), and REACH status must match or exceed the original specification. ECCN and HTSUS classifications remain consistent across all qualified substitutes.

Composition & Features: Thick film construction and moisture resistance are functional requirements. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, where present in substitute parts, represents an enhanced specification level compatible with the base requirement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - RC1206FR-078K87L (YAGEO): This part maintains Active product status with full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RC3216F8871CS. YAGEO RC_L series offers 25,100 pieces in inventory, providing supply continuity. Dimensions (3.10mm L x 1.60mm W) and height (0.65mm) are within acceptable tolerance for 1206 package footprints. Tape & Reel packaging supports automated assembly processes.

Enhanced Specification Substitute - CRCW12068K87FKEA (Vishay Dale): This part adds AEC-Q200 automotive qualification while maintaining all base electrical specifications. Active product status and 19,828 pieces in inventory ensure availability. Dimensions (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W) and reduced height (0.60mm) provide mechanical compatibility. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging accommodates both manual and automated placement.

Legacy Substitute - ERJ-8ENF8871V (Panasonic): This part carries "Not For New Designs" status and is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies. AEC-Q200 qualification and 37,040 pieces in inventory are available. Dimensions (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W) and height (0.70mm) remain within 1206 package specifications. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for production environments.

Selection Criteria: For new designs, select RC1206FR-078K87L or CRCW12068K87FKEA based on supply chain preference and packaging requirements. For existing product maintenance, ERJ-8ENF8871V remains functionally equivalent despite legacy status. Automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 certification must use CRCW12068K87FKEA or ERJ-8ENF8871V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-078K87L replace RC3216F8871CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (8.87 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), operate across -55°C to 155°C, and use 1206 package footprints. Physical dimensions (3.10mm vs 3.20mm length) fall within standard PCB tolerance for 1206 components. YAGEO RC1206FR-078K87L is Active status with higher inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12068K87FKEA and the original RC3216F8871CS?

A: Electrical and thermal specifications are identical. CRCW12068K87FKEA adds AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. Physical dimensions match (3.20mm L x 1.60mm W). Height is slightly reduced (0.60mm vs 0.66mm), which is compatible with standard 1206 footprints.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF8871V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Panasonic ERJ-8ENF8871V carries legacy status but remains functionally equivalent for replacement applications. All electrical parameters, temperature range, and compliance certifications match the original part. This designation indicates Panasonic's product lifecycle positioning; the part is suitable for repair and maintenance of existing assemblies.

Q: Are packaging differences between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape significant?

A: Packaging affects supply chain logistics and assembly processes. Tape & Reel (TR) is standard for high-volume automated assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel supports both manual and automated placement with smaller order quantities. Electrical and mechanical performance are identical; selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment.

Q: Can these substitutes be used interchangeably on the same PCB?

A: Yes, within standard manufacturing tolerances. All four parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) packages with two terminations. Physical dimensions vary slightly (length 3.10mm to 3.20mm, height 0.60mm to 0.70mm), but these fall within acceptable PCB footprint tolerances for 1206 components. Electrical performance is identical across all substitutes.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control. MSL rating is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. HTSUS classification 8533.21.0030 applies uniformly across all substitutes.
