RCS3216F2673CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F2673CS is a 267 kOhms ±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 characteristics. The part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general industrial applications requiring precision resistive elements within the specified temperature and power ratings.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count) to ensure direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 267 kOhms (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)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification and differences in application-specific features (such as automotive AEC-Q200 certification) do not affect functional substitutability for the core resistive function.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW1206267KFKEA (Vishay Dale), RC1206FR-07267KL (YAGEO), and RMCF1206FT267K (Stackpole) are all classified as Active products and are suitable for new designs. These parts maintain full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F2673CS.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF2673V (Panasonic) is classified as Not For New Designs. While this part meets all electrical and mechanical substitution criteria, it should be used only for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies where continuity with original component specifications is required.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the regulatory status of the main part. Parts designated with Automotive AEC-Q200 certification (CRCW1206267KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2673V, RMCF1206FT267K) include additional automotive-grade qualification but do not alter core resistive functionality for general industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206267KFKEA replace RCS3216F2673CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (267 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 2 terminations, MSL 1). Physical dimensions vary slightly within 1206 package tolerance but do not affect circuit performance or PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF2673V marked as Not For New Designs? A: ERJ-8ENF2673V carries a Not For New Designs product status designation from Panasonic. This indicates the manufacturer is phasing out this part number. For new circuit designs, select from Active status alternatives: CRCW1206267KFKEA, RC1206FR-07267KL, or RMCF1206FT267K.

Q: Are there differences in automotive qualification between substitute parts? A: CRCW1206267KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2673V, and RMCF1206FT267K carry Automotive AEC-Q200 certification. RCS3216F2673CS and RC1206FR-07267KL do not list this certification. For automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 compliance, select from the certified alternatives. For general industrial use, all parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Do dimensional variations affect PCB assembly compatibility? A: All substitute parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package specification. Measured variations in length (0.122" to 0.126"), width (0.063"), and height (0.024" to 0.028") fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or reflow soldering processes.

Q: What is the significance of the anti-sulfur feature on RCS3216F2673CS? A: The anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features of RCS3216F2673CS are environmental protection characteristics. RC1206FR-07267KL also specifies moisture resistance. CRCW1206267KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF2673V, and RMCF1206FT267K do not explicitly list these features in provided specifications but maintain equivalent MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating comparable environmental performance.

Q: Can substitute parts be mixed in the same production batch? A: Yes. All substitute parts meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications. However, component sourcing should follow established procurement and traceability procedures. Mixing different manufacturers in a single assembly is permissible from a functional standpoint but may require documentation updates and supply chain coordination.
