RCS3216F1070CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F1070CS is a 107 Ohm ±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 extended operating temperature range from -55°C to 155°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical package dimensions, and environmental compliance ratings. Substitute components maintain identical resistance value, tolerance, power rating, and package form factor while potentially offering alternative feature sets or manufacturing certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F1070CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 107 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)
• Termination Count: 2 (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in secondary characteristics such as automotive certifications (AEC-Q200), specific feature designations (anti-sulfur vs. moisture resistant), or minor dimensional tolerances do not disqualify substitution when core electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, General Applications): CRCW1206107RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07107RL (YAGEO) are both Active product status components suitable for new designs. Both maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F1070CS. CRCW1206107RFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification, making it appropriate for automotive-grade applications. RC1206FR-07107RL provides an alternative from YAGEO with equivalent specifications and Active status.

Secondary Selection (Automotive Applications): ERJ-8ENF1070V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification and meets all electrical and mechanical parameters. However, this component is designated as Not For New Designs, indicating it is in mature or declining production phase. Selection of this part is appropriate only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where design continuity is required.

Compliance Considerations: All four components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. All components maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206107RFKEA directly replace RCS3216F1070CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (107 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), package form factor (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). Mechanical dimensions are within acceptable tolerance for PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification on substitute parts? A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. CRCW1206107RFKEA and ERJ-8ENF1070V carry this certification, indicating suitability for automotive applications. The RCS3216F1070CS does not specify this certification. Selection of AEC-Q200 rated parts is required only when automotive qualification is a design requirement.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1070V marked as "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the component is in mature production phase with potential discontinuation. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part should be selected only for replacement or legacy system support. For new designs, CRCW1206107RFKEA or RC1206FR-07107RL are preferred.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts? A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerance. Length ranges from 0.122" to 0.126" (3.10mm to 3.20mm), and seated height ranges from 0.024" to 0.028" (0.60mm to 0.70mm). These variations are within standard PCB footprint design margins for 1206 package components and do not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts have identical moisture sensitivity ratings? A: Yes. All four components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity protection requirements during storage or handling.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts? A: RCS3216F1070CS is supplied in standard packaging format. CRCW1206107RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF1070V, and RC1206FR-07107RL are all available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for high-volume SMD assembly operations.
