Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RC3225F623CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 62 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film
• Moisture resistance feature

Allowable Variations:

• Power rating may be equal or higher (0.333W minimum required)
• Physical dimensions may vary within standard 1210 package tolerances
• Manufacturer and series designation may differ

The substitute part RC1210FR-0762KL from YAGEO meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while providing an upgraded power rating of 0.5W (1/2W), offering enhanced thermal margin in applications where the original 0.333W specification is adequate.

Both parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1210FR-0762KL be used as a direct replacement for RC3225F623CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance value (62 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), package format (1210 / 3225 Metric), and composition (thick film). The substitute part has a higher power rating (0.5W vs. 0.333W), which is compatible with applications designed for the original part. Physical dimensions are within standard 1210 package tolerances.

Q: What is the difference in power rating between these parts?

A: RC3225F623CS is rated for 0.333W (1/3W), while RC1210FR-0762KL is rated for 0.5W (1/2W). The substitute part provides approximately 50% additional power dissipation capacity. In applications where the circuit dissipates less than 0.333W through the resistor, both parts perform identically. The higher rating on the substitute part does not affect electrical performance or circuit behavior.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible for PCB layout?

A: Yes. RC3225F623CS measures 0.126" L x 0.100" W (3.20mm x 2.55mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). RC1210FR-0762KL measures 0.122" L x 0.102" W (3.10mm x 2.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). Both dimensions fall within the standard 1210 (3225 Metric) package specification tolerance, allowing direct footprint substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both RC3225F623CS and RC1210FR-0762KL are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, classified as MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), and carry ECCN EAR99 designation. Both are Active product status with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030.

Q: What is the packaging format for each part?

A: RC3225F623CS is supplied in standard packaging format. RC1210FR-0762KL is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes and does not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications where the circuit design accommodates the original 0.333W specification. The substitute part's higher power rating ensures compatibility. No circuit modifications, design changes, or additional testing are required for substitution in standard resistor applications.
