RCS3216F28R0CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F28R0CS is a 28 Ohm ±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 in compact surface-mount form factors.

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

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F28R0CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance: 28 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard 1206 package tolerances do not affect functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CRCW120628R0FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0728RL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. CRCW120628R0FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0728RL provides moisture-resistant characteristics aligned with the original RCS3216F28R0CS specification.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF28R0V (Panasonic) is functionally equivalent but carries Not For New Designs product status. This part is suitable for replacement in existing applications or legacy system maintenance where supply continuity is required. New circuit designs should prioritize Active status alternatives.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original part's environmental and regulatory requirements. Selection between substitutes should be based on application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification needs or preferred supplier relationships.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120628R0FKEA directly replace RCS3216F28R0CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (28 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 2 terminations). Physical dimension variations (height: 0.024" vs 0.026") fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect circuit performance or PCB assembly.

Q: What is the difference between the automotive-qualified CRCW120628R0FKEA and standard RC1206FR-0728RL?

A: CRCW120628R0FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, indicating enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance for automotive applications. RC1206FR-0728RL is a general-purpose industrial-grade component. Both are electrically and mechanically identical. Selection depends on application requirements and industry standards compliance.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF28R0V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) is transitioning the product line. While functionally equivalent and currently in stock, new circuit designs should specify Active status alternatives (CRCW120628R0FKEA or RC1206FR-0728RL) to ensure long-term supply continuity and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there dimensional concerns when substituting between these parts?

A: All parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications. Dimensional variations are minor: length ranges 0.122" to 0.126", height ranges 0.024" to 0.028". These variations are within standard package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or reflow soldering processes.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. All are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030. Environmental and regulatory requirements are identical across all options.
