Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F1473CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value must be 147 kOhms with ±1% tolerance. Power rating must be 0.25W (1/4W). Temperature coefficient must be ±100ppm/°C. Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C minimum.

Mechanical Specifications: Package must be 1206 (3216 Metric). Number of terminations must be 2. Physical dimensions must be compatible with 1206 footprint specifications.

Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts must maintain ROHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Composition: Thick film construction is required for all substitutes.

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the RCS3216F1473CS in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW1206147KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07147KL (YAGEO) are both Active products suitable for new designs. Both maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility with RCS3216F1473CS specifications. CRCW1206147KFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing additional reliability certification for applications requiring automotive-grade components. RC1206FR-07147KL offers moisture-resistant construction matching the original part's environmental protection features.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF1473V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but should be reserved for replacement or repair of existing assemblies only. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

Compliance Alignment: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original RCS3216F1473CS across all application contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206147KFKEA directly replace RCS3216F1473CS on a circuit board?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (147 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), identical package designation (1206/3216 Metric), and identical compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard 1206 footprints.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: CRCW1206147KFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. ERJ-8ENF1473V carries "Not For New Designs" status. RC1206FR-07147KL emphasizes moisture-resistant construction. All three are electrically and mechanically equivalent to RCS3216F1473CS.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1473V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development for new applications. The part remains available for existing inventory and replacement purposes but should not be selected for new circuit designs.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: All parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications. Minor seated height variations exist (0.024" to 0.028" maximum), which do not affect PCB assembly compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW1206147KFKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. ERJ-8ENF1473V also includes AEC-Q200 certification but carries "Not For New Designs" status. For new automotive designs, CRCW1206147KFKEA is the appropriate selection.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All substitute parts operate across -55°C to 155°C, matching the RCS3216F1473CS specification.
