Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RCS3216F1694CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics) Primary choice for applications requiring anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant thick film construction. Active product status with established supply chain. ROHS3 compliant and MSL 1 rated for unlimited moisture exposure.

CRCW12061M69FKEA (Vishay Dale) Qualified substitute with automotive AEC-Q200 rating. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. Seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is 0.002" lower than the main part, acceptable for standard 1206 footprints. Active product status with high inventory availability.

RC1206FR-071M69L (YAGEO) Qualified substitute with moisture-resistant thick film construction. Physical dimensions (3.10mm L x 1.60mm W) are within 1206 package tolerance. Seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm) matches the main part specification. Active product status with established supply availability.

All three parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for direct circuit board replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12061M69FKEA replace RCS3216F1694CS in any application? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (1.69 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), package type (1206), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The CRCW12061M69FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive and industrial applications.

Q: What is the difference in physical dimensions between these parts? A: All three parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. Seated heights vary slightly: RCS3216F1694CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), CRCW12061M69FKEA at 0.024" (0.60mm), and RC1206FR-071M69L at 0.026" (0.65mm). These variations are within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. RCS3216F1694CS, CRCW12061M69FKEA, and RC1206FR-071M69L are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter? A: All three parts have a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, meaning resistance changes by a maximum of 100 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. This specification ensures predictable performance across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in high-reliability applications? A: Yes, for general high-reliability applications. The CRCW12061M69FKEA offers additional automotive AEC-Q200 qualification if automotive-grade reliability is required. All three parts meet ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 requirements for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts? A: RCS3216F1694CS is available in standard packaging. CRCW12061M69FKEA and RC1206FR-071M69L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes.
