Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F2670CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 267 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 to 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)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 Compliant status
• REACH Unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore suitable for direct replacement in applications where the RCS3216F2670CS is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Recommended for New Designs): CRCW1206267RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07267RL (YAGEO) are the preferred substitutes. Both maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and support for new design implementations. CRCW1206267RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for demanding applications. RC1206FR-07267RL offers the highest current inventory level (89,010 pieces), supporting high-volume production requirements.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Applications Only): ERJ-8ENF2670V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is classified as "Not For New Designs" and should be used only in legacy system maintenance or repair scenarios where component continuity is required. Despite this status limitation, it maintains full electrical and mechanical equivalence with the primary part and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Selection Criteria:

• For new product designs: Select CRCW1206267RFKEA or RC1206FR-07267RL
• For high-volume production: RC1206FR-07267RL (largest inventory)
• For automotive applications: CRCW1206267RFKEA or ERJ-8ENF2670V (AEC-Q200 rated)
• For legacy system support: ERJ-8ENF2670V

All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206267RFKEA directly replace RCS3216F2670CS on a circuit board? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (267 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), identical package dimensions (1206/3216 Metric), and identical thermal characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C operating range). Physical dimensions are equivalent: 0.126" L x 0.063" W with maximum seated heights within 0.002" tolerance. Direct PCB substitution is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats listed? A: RCS3216F2670CS is supplied in bulk packaging, while CRCW1206267RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2670V, and RC1206FR-07267RL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging is typically used for manual assembly or small-quantity applications. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2670V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates that Panasonic has discontinued active development and marketing of this product line. While the component remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and maintains full AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, it should be reserved for legacy system maintenance. New product designs should specify CRCW1206267RFKEA or RC1206FR-07267RL to ensure long-term supply chain stability.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. RCS3216F2670CS, CRCW1206267RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2670V, and RC1206FR-07267RL are all ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic component manufacturing and use.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for moisture sensitivity? A: MSL 1 indicates the lowest moisture sensitivity level. Components rated MSL 1 have unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions and do not require special moisture-control packaging or baking procedures prior to assembly. All listed parts share this MSL 1 rating.

Q: Can I use these substitutes in automotive applications? A: CRCW1206267RFKEA and ERJ-8ENF2670V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making them suitable for automotive applications. RCS3216F2670CS and RC1206FR-07267RL do not list AEC-Q200 qualification. For automotive applications, specify CRCW1206267RFKEA or ERJ-8ENF2670V.
