Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3216F9761CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (9.76 kOhms), tolerance class (±1%), and power dissipation 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 designation (1206 / 3216 Metric) ensures PCB footprint compatibility. Physical dimensions and termination count (2 terminations) must align with the original design.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) are maintained across all qualified substitutes. REACH Unaffected status applies uniformly.

Composition & Features: Thick film construction is consistent. Moisture resistance is a baseline requirement. Additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) represent enhanced capability and do not disqualify substitution.

Three substitute parts meet these criteria with variations in manufacturer, packaging format, and optional automotive qualification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RC1206FR-079K76L (YAGEO): Direct equivalent with Active product status. Identical electrical and thermal specifications. Tape & Reel packaging format suitable for automated assembly. Recommended for new designs requiring standard industrial-grade thick film resistors with unlimited moisture tolerance.

CRCW12069K76FKEA (Vishay Dale): Direct equivalent with Active product status and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Identical electrical specifications with enhanced reliability certification. Recommended for automotive applications, industrial environments requiring higher qualification standards, or designs where AEC-Q200 compliance is specified.

ERJ-8ENF9761V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Electrical and mechanical equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Product status is "Not For New Designs," indicating this part is in mature/legacy phase. Suitable only for replacement in existing designs or legacy system maintenance. Not recommended for new product development.

All three substitutes maintain full compatibility with the RC3216F9761CS across critical parameters: resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package footprint, temperature range, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-079K76L replace RC3216F9761CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (9.76 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and 1206 package footprint. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) and manufacturer. PCB layout and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW12069K76FKEA and the other substitutes?

A: CRCW12069K76FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and qualification for automotive applications. Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical to RC3216F9761CS. This part is suitable for automotive, industrial, or mission-critical applications where AEC-Q200 compliance is required.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF9761V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the part is in legacy or mature phase. Panasonic continues to support existing designs but does not recommend this part for new product development. Use ERJ-8ENF9761V only for replacement in existing systems or legacy maintenance. For new designs, select RC1206FR-079K76L or CRCW12069K76FKEA.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RC3216F9761CS, RC1206FR-079K76L, CRCW12069K76FKEA, and ERJ-8ENF9761V are all ROHS3 Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Does package format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Bulk packaging formats do not affect electrical performance, thermal characteristics, or reliability. Packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements (automated vs. manual) and inventory management practices.

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

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint dimensions and termination configuration. No PCB redesign is required for substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient?

A: Temperature coefficient specifies resistance change per degree Celsius. ±100ppm/°C indicates the resistance value will drift by approximately 0.01% per °C across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. This specification is identical across all parts and ensures predictable performance in temperature-sensitive applications.
