Critical Substitution Criteria:

• Resistance value: 2.7 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±300ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W / 3.20mm x 1.60mm (exact match required)
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (minimum requirement)
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited) (minimum requirement)

The RC3216F2R7CS from Samsung Electro-Mechanics meets all substitution criteria and is classified as a direct equivalent. This part shares identical electrical specifications and mechanical dimensions with the RCS3216F2R7CS, with the primary distinction being packaging format (Cut Tape and Digi-Reel) and the absence of anti-sulfur designation in the feature set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC3216F2R7CS qualifies as a direct substitute for the RCS3216F2R7CS based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts are manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, maintain active production status, and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The RC3216F2R7CS is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging formats, providing supply chain flexibility for different procurement and assembly requirements.

The primary functional difference is the absence of anti-sulfur designation in the RC3216F2R7CS feature set. Applications requiring explicit anti-sulfur protection should retain the RCS3216F2R7CS specification. For general-purpose applications where moisture resistance alone is sufficient, the RC3216F2R7CS provides equivalent electrical performance and reliability.

Both parts maintain identical tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC3216F2R7CS replace RCS3216F2R7CS in all applications?

A: The RC3216F2R7CS is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS3216F2R7CS. The primary distinction is the anti-sulfur feature present in the RCS series. Applications requiring anti-sulfur protection should use the RCS3216F2R7CS. For applications where moisture resistance is the primary environmental concern, RC3216F2R7CS provides equivalent performance.

Q: What is the difference between the packaging formats?

A: The RCS3216F2R7CS is supplied in standard packaging, while the RC3216F2R7CS is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel formats. These packaging options do not affect component electrical or mechanical specifications, only supply chain handling and assembly line compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RCS3216F2R7CS and RC3216F2R7CS carry ROHS3 Compliant certification and are REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Do the parts have identical physical dimensions?

A: Yes. Both parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard with dimensions of 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). Maximum seated height is 0.026" (0.66mm for RCS3216F2R7CS and 0.65mm for RC3216F2R7CS), representing negligible variation within manufacturing tolerance.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these components?

A: Both parts carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components do not require special moisture control during storage or handling.
