Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RC3216F8R2CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.2 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Substitute parts are further differentiated by optional features including automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, current sense capability, high voltage rating, and temperature coefficient performance. These features represent enhancements or application-specific certifications that do not compromise base electrical equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC3216F8R2CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) serves as the baseline reference. This part is Active status with RoHS3 compliance and moisture-resistant construction, suitable for standard industrial applications requiring general-purpose thick film resistor performance.

ERJ-8RQF8R2V (Panasonic Electronic Components) provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with current sense capability. The temperature coefficient of ±200ppm/°C represents improved stability compared to the baseline. This part is selected for automotive applications or designs requiring enhanced current sensing features.

KTR18EZPF8R20 (Rohm Semiconductor) offers automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with high voltage rating and the lowest temperature coefficient at ±100ppm/°C. This part is selected for automotive applications requiring superior temperature stability and high voltage tolerance.

RC1206FR-078R2L (YAGEO) maintains moisture-resistant construction equivalent to the baseline with ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Dimensional length is 0.122" (3.10mm) compared to 0.126" (3.20mm) for other parts. This part is selected when moisture resistance is prioritized and automotive qualification is not required.

RMCF1206FT8R20 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) provides automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient. This part is selected for automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance without the high voltage specialization of the Rohm alternative.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the baseline part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-8RQF8R2V replace RC3216F8R2CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. ERJ-8RQF8R2V meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of RC3216F8R2CS. The automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and current sense features represent additional capabilities that do not restrict use in non-automotive designs. The ±200ppm/°C temperature coefficient provides improved stability compared to the baseline ±300ppm/°C.

Q: What is the significance of the temperature coefficient differences?

A: Temperature coefficient values of ±100ppm/°C, ±200ppm/°C, and ±300ppm/°C indicate the rate of resistance change per degree Celsius. Lower values represent greater stability across the operating temperature range. KTR18EZPF8R20 at ±100ppm/°C provides the most stable performance, while RC3216F8R2CS at ±300ppm/°C provides baseline performance. Selection depends on application tolerance requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional compatibility concerns between substitute parts?

A: RC1206FR-078R2L has a length of 0.122" (3.10mm) compared to 0.126" (3.20mm) for other parts. Height varies between 0.026" (0.65mm) and 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations remain within 1206 package specification tolerances. PCB layout and component placement clearances must accommodate the maximum height of 0.028" (0.70mm) when substituting with ERJ-8RQF8R2V or RMCF1206FT8R20.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for automotive applications?

A: Three substitute parts carry automotive AEC-Q200 qualification: ERJ-8RQF8R2V (Panasonic), KTR18EZPF8R20 (Rohm), and RMCF1206FT8R20 (Stackpole). KTR18EZPF8R20 is selected when high voltage tolerance and superior temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) are required. ERJ-8RQF8R2V is selected when current sense capability is needed. RMCF1206FT8R20 is selected for standard automotive applications without specialized requirements.

Q: Is moisture resistance maintained across all substitute parts?

A: Moisture resistance is explicitly specified for RC3216F8R2CS and RC1206FR-078R2L. The automotive-qualified parts (ERJ-8RQF8R2V, KTR18EZPF8R20, RMCF1206FT8R20) do not list moisture resistance as a feature. All parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. For applications requiring explicit moisture-resistant construction, RC1206FR-078R2L provides direct equivalence to the baseline part.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: RC3216F8R2CS is specified with "-" packaging notation. All four substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging: ERJ-8RQF8R2V, KTR18EZPF8R20, RC1206FR-078R2L, and RMCF1206FT8R20. Packaging format compatibility must be confirmed with procurement requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: ERJ-8RQF8R2V (11,464 pcs), KTR18EZPF8R20 (9,182 pcs), RC1206FR-078R2L (5,580 pcs), and RMCF1206FT8R20 (47,157 pcs). RMCF1206FT8R20 maintains the highest inventory availability. Inventory status is subject to change and must be confirmed at time of procurement.
