Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F2804CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 2.8 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Composition: Thick Film
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW12062M80FKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RCS3216F2804CS. The CRCW12062M80FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm) is slightly lower than the main part, which may be advantageous in space-constrained layouts. This part is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the RCS3216F2804CS is specified.

RC1206FR-072M8L (YAGEO): This substitute part satisfies all critical electrical parameters and mechanical requirements matching the RCS3216F2804CS. The RC1206FR-072M8L features moisture-resistant properties consistent with the main part. Physical dimensions are 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with a seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm), maintaining compatibility with standard 1206 footprints. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm environmental suitability. This part is suitable for direct substitution in all applications where the RCS3216F2804CS is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12062M80FKEA and RC1206FR-072M8L be used interchangeably with RCS3216F2804CS?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications (2.8 MOhms, ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), the same 1206 package footprint, and equivalent environmental compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH unaffected). They are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer-specific features and minor dimensional variations. CRCW12062M80FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and has a seated height of 0.024" (0.60mm). RC1206FR-072M8L has a seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm) and emphasizes moisture-resistant properties. The RCS3216F2804CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties with a seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). All three are functionally equivalent for standard circuit applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The RCS3216F2804CS is supplied in standard packaging, while both CRCW12062M80FKEA and RC1206FR-072M8L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Which substitute should I select for automotive applications?

A: CRCW12062M80FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is the appropriate choice for automotive-grade circuit designs. RC1206FR-072M8L and RCS3216F2804CS do not carry automotive certifications.

Q: Do all parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. They meet identical environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Since all parts meet identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance standards, they can be used interchangeably within the same circuit design and production batch without circuit redesign or re-qualification.
