Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F5360CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 536 Ohms
• 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

Compliance & Environmental (Required):

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

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

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The CRCW1206536RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07536RL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturer support. The CRCW1206536RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. The RC1206FR-07536RL provides moisture-resistant characteristics aligned with the original part specification.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): The ERJ-8ENF5360V (Panasonic) is classified as Not For New Designs. This part is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies where the original part number is no longer available. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions without moisture baking requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206536RFKEA replace RCS3216F5360CS directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (536 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and 1206 package footprint. The CRCW1206536RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, which is a superset of standard industrial requirements.

Q: What is the difference between RC1206FR-07536RL and CRCW1206536RFKEA? A: Both are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is manufacturer (YAGEO vs. Vishay Dale) and feature set. CRCW1206536RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification; RC1206FR-07536RL emphasizes moisture-resistant characteristics. Selection depends on supply chain preference and application requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF5360V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic) has discontinued active development and promotion of this part number. It remains available for legacy system repairs but should not be specified in new circuit designs. Use CRCW1206536RFKEA or RC1206FR-07536RL for new applications.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts? A: Minor variations exist within 1206 package tolerance. RCS3216F5360CS: 0.126" L × 0.063" W (3.20mm × 1.60mm), height 0.026" max. RC1206FR-07536RL: 0.122" L × 0.063" W (3.10mm × 1.60mm), height 0.026" max. CRCW1206536RFKEA: height 0.024" max. ERJ-8ENF5360V: height 0.028" max. All dimensions remain within standard 1206 footprint specifications and are PCB-compatible.

Q: Do all substitutes require the same packaging format? A: The main part (RCS3216F5360CS) is specified with "-" packaging notation. All substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for SMD component distribution. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part? A: RCS3216F5360CS: 826 Pcs. CRCW1206536RFKEA: 27,168 Pcs. ERJ-8ENF5360V: 46,116 Pcs. RC1206FR-07536RL: 89,913 Pcs. Inventory levels indicate availability; however, current stock should be verified with your component supplier.
