• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are suitable for direct replacement in applications where the RCS3216F1024CS is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three components—RCS3216F1024CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics), CRCW12061M02FKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-071M02L (YAGEO)—are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Each part maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions within the 1206 package format.

The CRCW12061M02FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards. The RCS3216F1024CS and RC1206FR-071M02L both feature moisture-resistant thick film construction. Selection between these parts depends on application requirements: automotive applications benefit from the AEC-Q200 rated CRCW12061M02FKEA, while general industrial and consumer applications accept any of the three options based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12061M02FKEA replace RCS3216F1024CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical parameters (1.02 MOhms, ±1%, 0.25W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), and package format (1206). The CRCW12061M02FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which does not restrict use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between the physical dimensions of these parts?

A: The RCS3216F1024CS and RC1206FR-071M02L have maximum seated heights of 0.66mm and 0.65mm respectively. The CRCW12061M02FKEA has a maximum seated height of 0.60mm. Length dimensions vary slightly: RCS3216F1024CS and CRCW12061M02FKEA measure 3.20mm, while RC1206FR-071M02L measures 3.10mm. These dimensional variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout compatibility.

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

A: Yes. All three components operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance in high-temperature environments.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The RCS3216F1024CS is available in standard packaging. The CRCW12061M02FKEA and RC1206FR-071M02L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume production and automated assembly processes.

Q: Do these parts require different handling or storage procedures?

A: No. All three components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling. Standard component storage conditions apply to all parts.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. The CRCW12061M02FKEA additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. This additional certification does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications.
