RCS2012F3163CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS2012F3163CS is a 316 kOhms ±1% 0.125W thick film chip resistor in 0805 (2012 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant characteristics. The part is ROHS3 compliant and carries MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when design requirements necessitate alternative sourcing due to inventory constraints, supply chain considerations, or specific application certifications such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS2012F3163CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Resistance value: 316 kOhms
Tolerance: ±1%
Power rating: 0.125W (1/8W)
Package: 0805 (2012 Metric)
Composition: Thick Film
Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
Number of terminations: 2
RoHS compliance: ROHS3
MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in physical height (seated maximum) and packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape) do not affect electrical equivalence and represent acceptable substitution criteria within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection Criteria:

All substitute parts listed maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS2012F3163CS. Selection between alternatives should be based on the following factors:

For Non-Automotive Applications: RC0805FR-07316KL (YAGEO) and RCS2012F3163CS (Samsung) are suitable. Both provide moisture-resistant thick film construction without automotive-specific certifications. YAGEO RC0805FR-07316KL offers the highest inventory availability (83,715 pcs) and is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format.

For Automotive Applications (AEC-Q200 Required): CRCW0805316KFKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-6ENF3163V (Panasonic), and RMCF0805FT316K (Stackpole) all carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection among these three should be based on inventory availability and packaging requirements:

CRCW0805316KFKEA: 18,804 pcs available, lowest seated height (0.50mm)
ERJ-6ENF3163V: 38,878 pcs available, highest seated height (0.70mm)
RMCF0805FT316K: 14,425 pcs available, seated height 0.65mm

Compliance Verification: All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry ECCN EAR99 classification. MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating applies uniformly across all options, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW0805316KFKEA replace RCS2012F3163CS in a non-automotive circuit?

A: Yes. CRCW0805316KFKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution. The AEC-Q200 automotive certification is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in non-automotive applications. The lower seated height (0.50mm versus 0.66mm) is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape wound on reels, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is supplied in shorter tape segments on reels, typically for lower-volume or manual assembly operations. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly equipment and production volume requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. All parts listed, including RCS2012F3163CS and all substitutes, operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. No thermal performance differentiation exists between options.

Q: Does the seated height variation affect PCB design?

A: Seated height variations (0.50mm to 0.70mm range) are within standard 0805 package tolerances and do not require PCB design modifications. Standard 0805 footprints accommodate all listed parts without clearance or assembly issues.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: RC0805FR-07316KL (YAGEO) provides the highest inventory level at 83,715 pcs. For automotive-qualified alternatives, ERJ-6ENF3163V (Panasonic) offers 38,878 pcs availability.

Q: Are all parts REACH and RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. No environmental or regulatory restrictions apply to any substitute option.
