Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F2322CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 23.2 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

• Direct equivalents (0.25W): CR1206-FX-2322ELF, CRCW120623K2FKEA, ERJ-8ENF2322V, RC1206FR-0723K2L
• Higher power rating (0.75W): CRCW120623K2FKEAHP (suitable for applications requiring increased power dissipation capability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications)

All substitute parts meet or exceed the specified electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution in the 1206 package footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Direct Equivalents):

CR1206-FX-2322ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW120623K2FKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-0723K2L (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. All three parts maintain active production status, identical electrical specifications, and full RoHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for new designs and ongoing production applications.

Secondary Substitute (Higher Power Rating):

CRCW120623K2FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) provides a 0.75W power rating while maintaining all other electrical and mechanical specifications. This part is appropriate for applications requiring increased power dissipation capability within the same 1206 package footprint. Active production status and AEC-Q200 automotive qualification are provided.

Legacy Substitute (Not For New Designs):

ERJ-8ENF2322V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is marked as "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility but is not recommended for new product development.

Compliance Verification:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), matching the original RCS3216F2322CS specifications. No additional compliance verification is required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120623K2FKEAHP (0.75W) be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F2322CS (0.25W)?

A: Yes. The 0.75W part is mechanically and electrically compatible with the 1206 package footprint and maintains identical resistance, tolerance, and temperature specifications. The higher power rating provides additional thermal margin and is suitable for applications where the original 0.25W rating is adequate. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts in terms of height?

A: Height variations range from 0.60mm (CRCW120623K2FKEA) to 0.75mm (CR1206-FX-2322ELF). All heights remain within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 package components. Height differences do not affect electrical performance or standard PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2322V marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the part is in legacy status and Panasonic has directed customers toward alternative products for new development. The part remains electrically and mechanically compatible but should be reserved for maintenance and replacement applications only.

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

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, consistent with standard SMD component procurement and automated assembly processes.

Q: Do substitute parts require different PCB footprints?

A: No. All substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical termination configuration (2 terminations). PCB footprints and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Which substitute offers the best availability?

A: CRCW120623K2FKEA (Vishay Dale) has the highest inventory level at 26,170 units in stock, followed by ERJ-8ENF2322V (Panasonic) at 26,920 units. CR1206-FX-2322ELF (Bourns) has 24,538 units available.
