Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F24R3CS is determined by strict matching of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 24.3 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) and additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not preclude substitution, as these represent enhanced or alternative feature sets rather than functional incompatibilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Applications: CRCW120624R3FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0724R3L (YAGEO) are both suitable substitutes with Active product status. CRCW120624R3FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it appropriate for automotive-grade applications. RC1206FR-0724R3L provides a direct equivalent without automotive certification.

For Automotive Applications: CRCW120624R3FKEA (Vishay Dale) is the preferred substitute, as it includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification alongside all mandatory electrical and package specifications.

For Legacy or Existing Designs: ERJ-8ENF24R3V (Panasonic Electronic Components) remains available with 31,169 pieces in stock; however, this part carries "Not For New Designs" status. Use of this part is limited to replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120624R3FKEA directly replace RCS3216F24R3CS in any circuit? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (24.3 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and 1206 package dimensions. The primary difference is AEC-Q200 automotive certification on the Vishay part, which represents an additional qualification rather than a functional change.

Q: What is the significance of "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-8ENF24R3V? A: This designation indicates the Panasonic part is in mature or declining production phase. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, it should not be selected for new product development. Use this part only for replacement in existing designs or legacy applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts? A: Yes. Height-seated measurements vary slightly: RCS3216F24R3CS (0.66mm), CRCW120624R3FKEA (0.60mm), ERJ-8ENF24R3V (0.70mm), and RC1206FR-0724R3L (0.65mm). Length and width remain consistent at 3.20mm x 1.60mm across all parts. These variations fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Does AEC-Q200 certification on CRCW120624R3FKEA affect non-automotive applications? A: No. AEC-Q200 is an additional qualification that does not restrict use in non-automotive circuits. The part remains fully compatible with standard industrial and consumer applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All identified substitutes (CRCW120624R3FKEA, ERJ-8ENF24R3V, RC1206FR-0724R3L) carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original RCS3216F24R3CS specifications.
