RCS3216F1653CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F1653CS is a 165 kOhms ±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 stable resistance values across the -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient) and mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count) to ensure direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F1653CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameter Matching:

• Resistance value: 165 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameter Matching:

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

Compliance Matching:

• RoHS3 compliance (required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required)

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

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The CRCW1206165KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07165KL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. The CRCW1206165KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for demanding applications.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Applications): The ERJ-8ENF1653V (Panasonic) is classified as Not For New Designs. This part is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies where the original part number is unavailable. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, matching the environmental and handling requirements of the original RCS3216F1653CS. Selection between active alternatives should be based on packaging format requirements (Tape & Reel availability) and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206165KFKEA replace RCS3216F1653CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CRCW1206165KFKEA is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (165 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). The CRCW1206165KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability certification.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RCS3216F1653CS and YAGEO RC1206FR-07165KL?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer and packaging format. The RCS3216F1653CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the RC1206FR-07165KL is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Both are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1653V marked as Not For New Designs?

A: The ERJ-8ENF1653V is classified as Not For New Designs by Panasonic, indicating that the manufacturer is transitioning this part number out of active production. While the part remains functionally equivalent and suitable for replacement applications, new circuit designs should specify alternative part numbers such as CRCW1206165KFKEA or RC1206FR-07165KL to ensure long-term supply continuity.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: The CRCW1206165KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF1653V, and RC1206FR-07165KL are all available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The original RCS3216F1653CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department before finalizing part selection.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental standards?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the environmental compliance profile of the RCS3216F1653CS. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.
