RC3225F6982CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC3225F6982CS is a 69.8 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, rated at 0.333W (1/3W) power dissipation in a 1210 (3225 Metric) surface mount package. This component is currently in active production status and features moisture-resistant construction suitable for general industrial and commercial applications.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance and mechanical compatibility can be maintained across the critical parameters of resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package dimensions, and operating temperature range. The RC3225F6982CS remains the primary specification; however, alternative sources may be required due to supply chain considerations, inventory availability, or specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RC3225F6982CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 69.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 1210 (3225 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100 ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C minimum
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variation:

• Power rating may exceed the 0.333W specification of the main part, provided the substitute maintains all other electrical and mechanical parameters. A higher power rating does not compromise circuit performance and may provide additional thermal margin.

The ERJ-14NF6982U from Panasonic Electronic Components meets all mandatory parameters with a higher power rating of 0.5W (1/2W), making it a valid electrical and mechanical substitute for the RC3225F6982CS.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: RC3225F6982CS

The RC3225F6982CS maintains active production status and is the recommended first choice for new designs and procurement. This component is currently manufactured and supported by Samsung Electro-Mechanics with confirmed inventory availability.

Alternative Selection: ERJ-14NF6982U

The ERJ-14NF6982U from Panasonic Electronic Components is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RC3225F6982CS across all critical parameters. This substitute is suitable for applications where:

• Supply chain constraints limit availability of the primary part
• Existing inventory of the RC3225F6982CS is depleted
• Design flexibility permits use of a higher power-rated component (0.5W vs. 0.333W)

The ERJ-14NF6982U carries a "Not For New Designs" status from Panasonic, indicating this part is in mature production phase. For new product development, the RC3225F6982CS is the preferred specification. For legacy system maintenance or retrofit applications, the ERJ-14NF6982U remains a valid technical substitute.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ERJ-14NF6982U be used as a direct replacement for the RC3225F6982CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The ERJ-14NF6982U is electrically and mechanically compatible with the RC3225F6982CS. Both components share identical resistance (69.8 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), package dimensions (1210 / 3225 Metric), temperature coefficient (±100 ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The higher power rating of the ERJ-14NF6982U (0.5W vs. 0.333W) does not create incompatibility and may provide additional thermal margin in the application.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on the ERJ-14NF6982U?

A: This designation indicates that Panasonic has classified the ERJ-14NF6982U as a mature product no longer recommended for incorporation into new product designs. However, the part remains available for production and is suitable for replacement, repair, and legacy system support. For new designs, the RC3225F6982CS is the preferred specification.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these two parts?

A: Both parts conform to the 1210 (3225 Metric) package standard. Minor dimensional variations exist within manufacturing tolerances: RC3225F6982CS measures 0.126" L × 0.100" W (3.20mm × 2.55mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), while ERJ-14NF6982U measures 0.126" L × 0.098" W (3.20mm × 2.50mm) with a maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations fall within standard PCB layout tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance and regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both the RC3225F6982CS and ERJ-14NF6982U are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry identical moisture sensitivity ratings (MSL 1 - Unlimited). Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030. They meet equivalent environmental and regulatory standards for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The RC3225F6982CS is supplied in standard packaging (specific format not detailed in available data). The ERJ-14NF6982U is available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before ordering.

Q: Can the higher power rating of the ERJ-14NF6982U affect circuit performance?

A: No. A higher power rating does not alter electrical performance. The ERJ-14NF6982U maintains identical resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, and frequency response characteristics as the RC3225F6982CS. The increased power rating (0.5W vs. 0.333W) only provides additional thermal dissipation capability, which is beneficial in high-current or high-ambient-temperature applications.
