RCS3216F275CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F275CS is a 2.7 MOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for general-purpose applications requiring high-value resistive elements with moisture and anti-sulfur protection. Substitute parts are identified when inventory constraints, lead time requirements, or application-specific certifications necessitate alternative sourcing from qualified manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F275CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 2.7 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
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length and height) within the 1206 package specification, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk), and additional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 for automotive applications) do not disqualify substitution but represent secondary differentiators for specific application contexts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (AC1206FR-072M7L, CRCW12062M70FKEA, and RC1206FR-072M7L) are electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS3216F275CS and are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the primary design parameters are met.

Selection Criteria Based on Compliance and Certifications:

AC1206FR-072M7L (YAGEO): This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring automotive-grade component reliability and traceability. The Tape & Reel packaging format supports high-volume automated assembly processes.

CRCW12062M70FKEA (Vishay Dale): This part also carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and represents the highest inventory availability (13331 Pcs). The CRCW series base product number indicates established manufacturing continuity. Selection is appropriate for high-volume procurement or applications requiring extended supply chain security.

RC1206FR-072M7L (YAGEO): This part provides moisture-resistant construction without automotive certification. Selection is appropriate for general industrial and consumer applications where AEC-Q200 qualification is not required. The RC_L series designation indicates standard commercial-grade performance.

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

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC1206FR-072M7L be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F275CS?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (2.7 MOhms, ±1%, 0.25W), operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and are packaged in 1206 (3216 Metric) form factor. The primary difference is the addition of AEC-Q200 automotive certification on the YAGEO part, which does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between the YAGEO AC1206FR-072M7L and RC1206FR-072M7L?

A: Both are YAGEO 1206 2.7 MOhms ±1% resistors with identical electrical performance. The AC1206FR-072M7L carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is designated as automotive-grade. The RC1206FR-072M7L is standard commercial-grade. Selection depends on whether automotive certification is required for the application.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between these substitute parts?

A: Minor variations exist within the 1206 package specification. The RCS3216F275CS and CRCW12062M70FKEA measure 0.126" L × 0.063" W, while the YAGEO parts (AC1206FR-072M7L and RC1206FR-072M7L) measure 0.122" L × 0.063" W. Height differences range from 0.024" to 0.026" maximum. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB layout or assembly compatibility.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The RCS3216F275CS is supplied in bulk packaging. All substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated surface-mount assembly. Tape & Reel packaging does not affect electrical performance and is compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for maximum inventory availability?

A: CRCW12062M70FKEA (Vishay Dale) offers the highest inventory level at 13331 Pcs. This part is suitable for applications where supply chain continuity and immediate availability are priorities.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (AC1206FR-072M7L, CRCW12062M70FKEA, and RC1206FR-072M7L) are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage requirements.
