RCS3216F1333CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F1333CS is a 133 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, operating across -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. The part is currently Active in product status with RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications, package dimensions, and environmental ratings to ensure direct functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F1333CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (133 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) establish thermal performance boundaries.

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with 2 terminations. Physical dimensions (length, width, height) must be compatible with the original PCB footprint.

Environmental & Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating are mandatory. REACH status and ECCN classification must match or exceed the original specification.

Composition & Construction: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes to maintain electrical performance characteristics.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RCS3216F1333CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CR1206-FX-1333ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW1206133KFKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-07133KL (YAGEO) are all Active products with full production support and RoHS3 compliance. These three parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production applications.

Automotive Applications: CRCW1206133KFKEA (Vishay Dale) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it the preferred choice for automotive-grade circuit requirements.

High-Volume Applications: RC1206FR-07133KL (YAGEO) offers the highest inventory availability (50,344 pcs) and is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats, supporting flexible procurement strategies.

Legacy Designs: ERJ-8ENF1333V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is marked "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for sustaining production of existing products. This part maintains full electrical and environmental equivalence but is not recommended for new circuit development.

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance and environmental compliance with the original RCS3216F1333CS specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the RCS3216F1333CS with any of these parts without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package with 2 terminations. Physical dimensions are compatible with standard 1206 PCB footprints. Minor height variations (0.024" to 0.030" seated height) are within typical PCB assembly tolerances and do not require footprint modification.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitutes match the electrical specification (133 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). Differences include: manufacturer, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), product status (Active vs. Not For New Designs), and optional automotive certification (AEC-Q200). Inventory availability also varies by supplier.

Q: Which substitute should I use for automotive applications?

A: CRCW1206133KFKEA (Vishay Dale) is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standard and is the appropriate choice for automotive circuit designs requiring formal qualification documentation.

Q: Is ERJ-8ENF1333V suitable for new product designs?

A: No. ERJ-8ENF1333V is marked "Not For New Designs" by Panasonic. This part should be used only for sustaining production of existing products. For new designs, select from CR1206-FX-1333ELF, CRCW1206133KFKEA, or RC1206FR-07133KL.

Q: Do all substitutes have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All parts, including the original RCS3216F1333CS, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are there packaging format differences I should consider?

A: Yes. CR1206-FX-1333ELF and ERJ-8ENF1333V are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. RC1206FR-07133KL is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel format. Packaging selection depends on your procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Do all substitutes comply with RoHS3 and REACH regulations?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the environmental compliance of the original RCS3216F1333CS.
