RCS3216F245CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F245CS is a 2.4 MOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. Substitute parts are identified when original inventory is unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain continuity, or when design specifications permit equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F245CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.4 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard tolerances and differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) do not affect functional substitution. Feature enhancements such as automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or high-voltage capability represent additional certifications that do not preclude substitution in non-qualified applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are Active product status components with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, matching the original RCS3216F245CS specification.

CRCW12062M40FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability or when Vishay Dale supply chain is preferred.

KTR18EZPF2404 (Rohm Semiconductor): This substitute includes both AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and high-voltage capability designation. Selection is appropriate for automotive applications or high-voltage circuit environments where these additional certifications are beneficial.

RC1206FR-072M4L (YAGEO): This substitute provides moisture-resistant construction matching the original part's environmental protection. Selection is appropriate for general industrial applications where moisture resistance is required and YAGEO sourcing is preferred.

All three substitutes are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS3216F245CS and are suitable for direct replacement in circuit designs where the original part specifications are met.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12062M40FKEA replace RCS3216F245CS in non-automotive applications?

A: Yes. The CRCW12062M40FKEA meets all electrical and mechanical parameters of the RCS3216F245CS. AEC-Q200 qualification is an additional certification that does not restrict use in non-automotive circuits.

Q: What is the difference between the physical dimensions of these parts?

A: The RCS3216F245CS and CRCW12062M40FKEA are both 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). The RC1206FR-072M4L is 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). Height variations range from 0.024" to 0.026" (0.60mm to 0.66mm). These dimensional differences fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.

Q: Are all substitutes available in the same packaging format?

A: The RCS3216F245CS is supplied in standard packaging. CRCW12062M40FKEA, KTR18EZPF2404, and RC1206FR-072M4L are all available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or circuit functionality.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for moisture-sensitive environments?

A: All four parts, including the original RCS3216F245CS, carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life and moisture resistance. Selection among substitutes should be based on supply availability, cost, or additional certifications rather than moisture performance.

Q: Do all substitutes comply with REACH and RoHS regulations?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, matching the original RCS3216F245CS compliance status.
