Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F3573CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 357 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected
• ECCN: EAR99

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification and differences in product features (automotive certification, anti-sulfur coating) do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Recommended for New Designs): CRCW1206357KFKEA (Vishay Dale) is the preferred substitute. This part maintains Active product status, meets all electrical and mechanical specifications, and includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. Packaging is Tape & Reel (TR) with 11,475 pieces in stock.

Secondary Substitute (Active Status): RC1206FR-07357KL (YAGEO) is an alternative substitute with Active product status. All electrical and mechanical parameters match the main part. Packaging is Tape & Reel (TR) with 18,728 pieces in stock.

Tertiary Substitute (Legacy Applications Only): ERJ-8ENF3573V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies. Packaging is Tape & Reel (TR) with 54,270 pieces in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206357KFKEA replace RCS3216F3573CS in all applications? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (357 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), identical package type (1206), and identical compliance status (ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected). The CRCW1206357KFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between the physical dimensions listed for each part? A: All parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. Minor variations in length (0.122" to 0.126"), width (0.063"), and height (0.024" to 0.028") fall within the tolerance range of the 1206 specification and do not affect circuit compatibility or PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF3573V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the part is in legacy status. While it meets all electrical and mechanical requirements for substitution, it is intended for replacement applications only. For new circuit designs, use CRCW1206357KFKEA or RC1206FR-07357KL.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format? A: All three substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The main part RCS3216F3573CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same moisture resistance characteristics? A: All parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited). The RCS3216F3573CS includes explicit anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features. The CRCW1206357KFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. The RC1206FR-07357KL includes moisture-resistant features. All are suitable for standard industrial and commercial environments.
