Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F22R6CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 22.6 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

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

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)

All substitute parts listed below meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard manufacturing tolerances do not disqualify substitution eligibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, Standard Applications):

CRCW120622R6FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0722R6L (YAGEO) are both Active product status components with full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F22R6CS. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 rating. CRCW120622R6FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0722R6L provides moisture-resistant construction matching the original part specification.

Alternative Selection (Automotive Applications):

CRCW120622R6FKEA is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and is recommended for automotive and high-reliability applications where this certification is required.

Legacy / Inventory Clearance:

ERJ-8ENF22R6V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria but is designated for existing inventory use only. New designs should not incorporate this part number.

Packaging Consideration:

The RCS3216F22R6CS is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts CRCW120622R6FKEA, ERJ-8ENF22R6V, and RC1206FR-0722R6L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120622R6FKEA be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F22R6CS?

A: Yes. CRCW120622R6FKEA meets all mandatory substitution criteria: identical resistance value (22.6 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). Physical dimensions are identical. The part is Active status and suitable for new designs.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary differences are: (1) CRCW120622R6FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification; (2) ERJ-8ENF22R6V is designated "Not For New Designs"; (3) RC1206FR-0722R6L has a slightly smaller length dimension (3.10mm vs 3.20mm) and lower maximum seated height (0.65mm vs 0.66mm), both within standard manufacturing tolerances and package specifications.

Q: Are there any height or dimension restrictions that would prevent substitution?

A: No. All substitute parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification. Dimensional variations (length 3.10mm to 3.20mm, height 0.60mm to 0.70mm) are within standard manufacturing tolerances for this package type and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Should ERJ-8ENF22R6V be used in new designs?

A: No. ERJ-8ENF22R6V carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This designation indicates the manufacturer is phasing out this part number. For new designs, select from Active status alternatives: CRCW120622R6FKEA or RC1206FR-0722R6L.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on CRCW120622R6FKEA?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry standard qualification for passive components. CRCW120622R6FKEA meets this standard and is suitable for automotive applications requiring certified component reliability. Non-automotive applications do not require this qualification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the original RCS3216F22R6CS specification.

Q: Does packaging format (bulk vs. Tape & Reel) affect electrical compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format affects only logistics and assembly process compatibility, not electrical or mechanical performance. Bulk and Tape & Reel formats contain identical components.
