Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Resistance Value: 182 kOhms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power Rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (height, length, width) within standard tolerances and differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) do not affect electrical substitutability. Product status differences and optional automotive certifications (AEC-Q200) are noted for application-specific selection.

Not Recommended for New Designs

ERJ-8ENF1823V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part should not be selected for new circuit designs due to manufacturer lifecycle discontinuation trajectory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RCS3216F1823CS be directly replaced with RC1206FR-07182KL?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (182 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), identical package dimensions (1206 / 3216 Metric), identical composition (thick film), identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Q: What is the difference between CR1206-FX-1823ELF and CRCW1206182KFKEA?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent. CR1206-FX-1823ELF emphasizes moisture resistance as a primary feature. CRCW1206182KFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Selection depends on application requirements: general moisture-resistant applications favor CR1206-FX-1823ELF; automotive applications favor CRCW1206182KFKEA.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF1823V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF1823V carries "Not For New Designs" status from the manufacturer, indicating the part is in end-of-life phase. While currently in stock (33,629 pcs) and electrically equivalent, Panasonic has signaled discontinuation. New circuit designs should select from Active-status alternatives to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. The main part RCS3216F1823CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for high-volume surface-mount assembly. If bulk or alternative packaging is required, contact the component supplier directly.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same temperature specifications?

A: Yes. All substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) with identical temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C). No thermal performance differentiation exists between the main part and any substitute.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: RC1206FR-07182KL (YAGEO) has the highest inventory availability at 130,537 pcs, followed by ERJ-8ENF1823V (Panasonic) at 33,629 pcs and CR1206-FX-1823ELF (Bourns) at 25,672 pcs.
