RCS3216F1023CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F1023CS is a 102 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 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 suitable for general industrial applications requiring precision resistive elements with environmental protection.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count) to ensure direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F1023CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 102 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (mandatory)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (unlimited exposure tolerance)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The RCS3216F1023CS, CRCW1206102KFKEA, and RC1206FR-07102KL are all classified as Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturer support and availability for new designs. These three parts are preferred for new circuit development and long-term production applications.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): The ERJ-8ENF1023V carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation. This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is intended for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies only. Use of this part number in new designs is not recommended due to potential future availability constraints.

Automotive Qualification Consideration: The CRCW1206102KFKEA and ERJ-8ENF1023V both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification ratings. The RCS3216F1023CS and RC1206FR-07102KL do not specify this certification. Selection between automotive-qualified and non-qualified variants depends on application requirements and end-use environment specifications.

Dimensional Tolerance: All parts meet the 1206 package specification. Minor variations in seated height (0.024" to 0.028") are within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect functional performance or board layout compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206102KFKEA directly replace RCS3216F1023CS in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (102 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 2 terminations, thick film composition). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1023V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and support for this product line. While the part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent, it is reserved for maintenance and repair of existing products. New circuit designs should utilize parts with Active status.

Q: Are there differences in environmental protection between these parts?

A: The RCS3216F1023CS specifies anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features. The CRCW1206102KFKEA and ERJ-8ENF1023V specify automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The RC1206FR-07102KL specifies moisture-resistant characteristics. All parts achieve MSL Level 1 (unlimited moisture exposure). Selection depends on specific environmental exposure requirements of the application.

Q: Do dimensional variations affect PCB layout?

A: No. All parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. Seated height variations (0.024" to 0.028") fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not require layout modifications.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability?

A: CRCW1206102KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07102KL (YAGEO) both carry Active product status with established supply chains. CRCW1206102KFKEA additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which typically ensures extended product lifecycle support.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: CRCW1206102KFKEA and ERJ-8ENF1023V carry explicit AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RCS3216F1023CS and RC1206FR-07102KL do not specify this certification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, use CRCW1206102KFKEA or ERJ-8ENF1023V.
