Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:
Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (107 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), and temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) must be identical.
Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 1206 (3216 Metric) surface-mount package with two terminations.
Environmental Ratings: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 classification must be maintained.
Composition: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes.
The following parts meet these criteria and are qualified as direct substitutes for the RCS3216F1073CS:
- CR1206-FX-1073ELF (Bourns Inc.)
- CRCW1206107KFKEA (Vishay Dale)
- ERJ-8ENF1073V (Panasonic Electronic Components)
- RC1206FR-07107KL (YAGEO)

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Selection: CR1206-FX-1073ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW1206107KFKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-07107KL (YAGEO) are recommended for new designs. All three maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and identical electrical specifications to the RCS3216F1073CS.
Automotive Applications: CRCW1206107KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability standards.
Legacy Designs: ERJ-8ENF1073V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for sustaining production or replacement in existing applications where design changes are not feasible.
Compliance Verification: All qualified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and environmental regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can CR1206-FX-1073ELF replace RCS3216F1073CS in existing designs?
A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (107 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and 1206 package dimensions. RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 ratings are equivalent.
Q: What is the difference between CRCW1206107KFKEA and other substitutes?
A: CRCW1206107KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical to the main part. This qualification is relevant only for automotive applications requiring specific reliability standards.
Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1073V marked "Not For New Designs"?
A: ERJ-8ENF1073V maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence to RCS3216F1073CS but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status from Panasonic. This designation indicates the manufacturer recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. The part remains suitable for sustaining production or field replacement in existing applications.
Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?
A: All parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor variations in maximum seated height exist (0.024" to 0.030"), but these fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect circuit performance or board layout compatibility.
Q: Do all substitutes support the same temperature range?
A: Yes. All qualified substitutes operate across -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, matching the RCS3216F1073CS specification.
Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?
A: ERJ-8ENF1073V (Panasonic) shows 123,470 pieces in stock. However, due to its "Not For New Designs" status, CR1206-FX-1073ELF (25,615 pieces) or CRCW1206107KFKEA (14,034 pieces) are preferred for new applications.
