Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F2213CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 221 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with height variations within 0.024" to 0.030" (0.60mm to 0.75mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in features (anti-sulfur coating, automotive AEC-Q200 qualification) and product status do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CR1206-FX-2213ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW1206221KFKEA (Vishay Dale), RC1206FR-07221KL (YAGEO), and RMCF1206FT221K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) are all classified as Active products and provide direct electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F2213CS. These parts are suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF2213V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for replacement in existing applications or legacy system maintenance.

Compliance Alignment:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory equivalence across industrial and commercial applications.

Packaging Consideration:

All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, consistent with high-volume manufacturing requirements. The RCS3216F2213CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data; verify packaging compatibility with procurement specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-2213ELF replace RCS3216F2213CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (221 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and 1206 package form factor. Height variation (0.75mm vs. 0.66mm) is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances for standard surface-mount processes.

Q: What is the difference between CRCW1206221KFKEA and RMCF1206FT221K?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS3216F2213CS. CRCW1206221KFKEA (Vishay Dale) features automotive AEC-Q200 qualification with 0.60mm maximum height. RMCF1206FT221K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) also includes AEC-Q200 qualification with 0.70mm maximum height. Selection depends on automotive qualification requirements and PCB clearance constraints.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2213V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle management. ERJ-8ENF2213V remains electrically and mechanically equivalent but is designated for replacement applications only. For new product development, select from Active-status alternatives: CR1206-FX-2213ELF, CRCW1206221KFKEA, RC1206FR-07221KL, or RMCF1206FT221K.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, matching the RCS3216F2213CS regulatory status.

Q: What is the significance of MSL rating 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture baking requirements. All parts in this comparison, including the RCS3216F2213CS and all substitutes, share this rating, ensuring equivalent moisture sensitivity handling.

Q: Can height differences affect PCB assembly?

A: Height variations range from 0.60mm to 0.75mm across all parts. Standard surface-mount assembly processes accommodate this range. Verify specific PCB design clearances if components are located near low-profile features or connectors.

Q: Which substitute offers the highest inventory availability?

A: RMCF1206FT221K (Stackpole Electronics Inc) shows 343,446 pieces in stock, significantly exceeding other alternatives. CR1206-FX-2213ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides 55,118 pieces, and RC1206FR-07221KL (YAGEO) provides 55,067 pieces.
