RC3216F93R1CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC3216F93R1CS is a 93.1 Ohm ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in 1206 (3216 Metric) package configuration. This component is classified as Active product status and is moisture resistant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, suitable for general industrial and commercial applications requiring precision resistive elements with stable performance across the operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the original manufacturer part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing improves supply chain resilience, or when design requirements permit upgraded specifications such as automotive-grade certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F93R1CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Equivalence Parameters:

• Resistance value: 93.1 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (precision grade match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (thermal capacity match)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) (PCB footprint compatibility)
• Composition: Thick Film (manufacturing process)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (stability specification)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (environmental limits)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 (regulatory requirement)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Manufacturer identity (different suppliers permitted)
• Packaging format (Tape & Reel acceptable for original cut-tape or bulk)
• Physical dimensions within tolerance (minor length/width/height variations acceptable if within package specification)
• Product status (Active preferred; Not For New Designs acceptable for existing designs)
• Certifications (AEC-Q200 automotive qualification is upgrade-compatible)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory equivalence criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RC3216F93R1CS in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Standard Applications):

RC1206FR-0793R1L (YAGEO) is the primary direct equivalent. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and compliance status as the RC3216F93R1CS. Both are Active product status with general industrial-grade specifications. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where the original Samsung part is unavailable and no automotive qualification is required.

Upgraded Equivalent (Automotive Applications):

AC1206FR-0793R1L (YAGEO) and CRCW120693R1FKEA (Vishay Dale) are upgraded equivalents with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. These parts maintain all electrical and mechanical equivalence while adding automotive-grade reliability certification. Selection is appropriate when designs require automotive-grade components or when upgrading existing designs to automotive standards. Both parts are Active product status.

Alternative Equivalent (High Inventory Availability):

CRCW120693R1FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers the highest inventory availability (25656 Pcs) among all substitutes and includes AEC-Q200 certification. This part is suitable for high-volume production requirements or when supply chain resilience is prioritized.

ERJ-8ENF93R1V (Panasonic Electronic Components) offers the highest inventory availability (65626 Pcs) but carries Not For New Designs product status. This part is suitable only for sustaining production of existing designs or for applications where new design qualification is not required.

Selection Priority:

1. For new designs: AC1206FR-0793R1L or CRCW120693R1FKEA (automotive-qualified)
2. For existing designs without automotive requirements: RC1206FR-0793R1L
3. For high-volume production: CRCW120693R1FKEA
4. For sustaining production only: ERJ-8ENF93R1V

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-0793R1L replace RC3216F93R1CS directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical electrical specifications (93.1 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C). Physical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance (RC1206FR-0793R1L: 3.10mm x 1.60mm vs. RC3216F93R1CS: 3.20mm x 1.60mm). Direct PCB substitution is mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between standard and AEC-Q200 versions?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates automotive-grade qualification with enhanced reliability testing and qualification standards. AC1206FR-0793R1L and CRCW120693R1FKEA include this certification; RC3216F93R1CS and RC1206FR-0793R1L do not. AEC-Q200 parts are suitable for automotive applications; non-certified parts are suitable for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF93R1V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This product status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new designs. The part remains available for sustaining production of existing designs. For new designs, select AC1206FR-0793R1L or CRCW120693R1FKEA instead.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (RC1206FR-0793R1L, AC1206FR-0793R1L, CRCW120693R1FKEA, ERJ-8ENF93R1V) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of RC3216F93R1CS.

Q: What is MSL 1 (Unlimited) and why is it important?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) with Unlimited rating indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling procedures apply without special drying or baking requirements. All listed parts share this MSL rating.

Q: Can I use CRCW120693R1FKEA in place of RC3216F93R1CS in a non-automotive application?

A: Yes. CRCW120693R1FKEA is fully compatible electrically and mechanically. The AEC-Q200 automotive certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. This part is suitable for any application requiring a 93.1 Ohm ±1% 0.25W 1206 resistor.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Temperature coefficient ±100ppm/°C specifies the resistance value change per degree Celsius across the operating range (-55°C to 155°C). All listed parts share this specification, ensuring equivalent stability and predictability in temperature-sensitive circuits.

Q: Are there any physical dimension differences that affect PCB layout?

A: Minor variations exist within package tolerance. RC3216F93R1CS and ERJ-8ENF93R1V are 3.20mm length; RC1206FR-0793R1L and AC1206FR-0793R1L are 3.10mm length. Height variations range from 0.60mm to 0.70mm. All variations are within 1206 package specification and do not affect standard PCB layout or assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply chain availability?

A: ERJ-8ENF93R1V offers the highest inventory (65626 Pcs), followed by CRCW120693R1FKEA (25656 Pcs). For new designs, CRCW120693R1FKEA is recommended due to Active product status and AEC-Q200 certification despite lower inventory than the discontinued ERJ-8ENF93R1V.
