RCS3216F5362CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F5362CS is a 53.6 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is currently in active production status with 753 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings are maintained across different manufacturers. This ensures functional interchangeability in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Electrical Specifications:

• Resistance value: 53.6 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Specifications:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Compliance & Environmental:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating (unlimited moisture sensitivity)
• REACH unaffected status

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in specific features (such as automotive AEC-Q200 certification or anti-sulfur coating) represent enhancements that do not prevent substitution but may offer additional benefits for specific applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW120653K6FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0753K6L (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain active production status and meet all electrical and mechanical specifications. CRCW120653K6FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0753K6L provides moisture-resistant thick film construction aligned with the original part's environmental features.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF5362V (Panasonic) is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies where continuity with legacy designs is required.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 rating. Physical height variations (0.024" to 0.028") remain within acceptable tolerances for standard 1206 PCB footprints and do not affect circuit performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120653K6FKEA replace RCS3216F5362CS in new designs? A: Yes. CRCW120653K6FKEA meets all electrical specifications (53.6 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C) and mechanical requirements (1206 package, 2 terminations). It maintains ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating. The automotive AEC-Q200 certification provides additional reliability assurance.

Q: What is the difference between the anti-sulfur feature in RCS3216F5362CS and other substitutes? A: Anti-sulfur coating is a manufacturing enhancement that prevents sulfur-induced corrosion in high-sulfur environments. This feature is specific to the Samsung part. Substitute parts without this designation remain functionally equivalent for standard industrial and commercial applications. Selection should be based on environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF5362V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development for new applications. The part remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and is suitable for replacement in existing assemblies. For new circuit designs, CRCW120653K6FKEA or RC1206FR-0753K6L are preferred.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences that affect PCB layout? A: Height variations exist: RCS3216F5362CS (0.66mm), CRCW120653K6FKEA (0.60mm), RC1206FR-0753K6L (0.65mm), and ERJ-8ENF5362V (0.70mm). All values remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not require PCB layout modifications. Length and width dimensions (3.20mm x 1.60mm or 3.10mm x 1.60mm) are compatible with standard 1206 footprints.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in tape and reel packaging? A: CRCW120653K6FKEA, ERJ-8ENF5362V, and RC1206FR-0753K6L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. RCS3216F5362CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment specifications before substitution in automated production environments.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all substitute parts? A: All parts (main and substitutes) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. CRCW120653K6FKEA and ERJ-8ENF5362V include automotive AEC-Q200 certification. These certifications ensure suitability for regulated industries and harsh environmental conditions.
