Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RCS3216F2874CS is permitted when the alternative part maintains identical electrical parameters and mechanical compatibility. The critical parameters determining substitutability are:

• Resistance value: 2.87 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Composition: Thick Film
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The RC1206FR-072M87L from YAGEO meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution. Both components share the same resistance value, tolerance, power rating, package designation, temperature characteristics, and regulatory compliance status. Dimensional differences are within acceptable engineering tolerances for 1206 package standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC1206FR-072M87L qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RCS3216F2874CS. Both components are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry identical regulatory classifications (EAR99, HTSUS 8533.21.0030). The products are electrically interchangeable across all specified operating conditions. Selection between the two may be determined by supply availability, inventory status, or manufacturing source preferences without requiring circuit redesign or performance reassessment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-072M87L replace RCS3216F2874CS in my circuit? A: Yes. Both parts have identical electrical specifications including 2.87 MOhms resistance at ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. They share the same 1206 package designation and meet identical regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts? A: Minor dimensional variations exist within standard 1206 package tolerances. RCS3216F2874CS measures 3.20mm x 1.60mm length and width, while RC1206FR-072M87L measures 3.10mm x 1.60mm. Both have maximum seated heights of approximately 0.65-0.66mm. These differences are within acceptable engineering tolerances for standard surface-mount assembly processes.

Q: Do these parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating? A: Yes. Both components have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity requirements or limitations apply to either part.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both RCS3216F2874CS and RC1206FR-072M87L are ROHS3 Compliant with identical REACH status (REACH Unaffected) and export classifications.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs? A: Selection should be based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than technical performance, as both parts are functionally equivalent. Verify current inventory and lead times from your component distributor to determine the most suitable choice for your application timeline.
