Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F5620CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 562 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters (Must Match or Exceed):

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

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

• Direct Equivalents (0.25W / 1/4W): Identical power rating for drop-in replacement
• Higher Power Rating (0.75W / 3/4W): Suitable for applications where increased power dissipation capability is beneficial, though not required

All identified substitutes maintain the same electrical performance, package footprint, and environmental compliance as the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Preferred Substitutes (Active Product Status):

The following parts are recommended for new designs and production applications due to Active product status:

• AC1206FR-07562RL (YAGEO): Active status with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Suitable for automotive and industrial applications requiring enhanced reliability.

• CR1206-FX-5620ELF (Bourns Inc.): Active status with moisture-resistant thick film construction. Highest inventory availability (25,357 pcs) ensures supply continuity.

• CRCW1206562RFKEA (Vishay Dale): Active status with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Maintains identical 0.25W power rating and package dimensions.

• RC1206FR-07562RL (YAGEO): Active status with moisture-resistant characteristics. Largest inventory stock (56,822 pcs) provides supply security.

• RMCF1206FT562R (Stackpole Electronics Inc): Active status with automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging options.

Higher Power Rating Option:

• CRCW1206562RFKEAHP (Vishay Dale): Active status with 0.75W power rating and pulse-withstanding capability. Suitable for applications requiring increased thermal margin or pulse handling.

Legacy / Obsolescence Consideration:

• ERJ-8ENF5620V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Classified as "Not For New Designs." This part remains available (38,614 pcs in stock) for legacy system maintenance and repair applications only. New designs should transition to Active-status alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I substitute the RCS3216F5620CS with any of the listed equivalent parts?

A: Yes, all parts listed under "Preferred Substitutes (Active Product Status)" are direct electrical and mechanical equivalents. They share identical resistance value (562 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). The ERJ-8ENF5620V is functionally equivalent but is not recommended for new designs.

Q2: What is the difference between the 0.25W and 0.75W versions?

A: The CRCW1206562RFKEAHP provides 0.75W power rating compared to the standard 0.25W rating of other substitutes. Both maintain the same package footprint (1206) and electrical specifications. The higher power rating allows greater power dissipation capability and is suitable for applications with higher thermal requirements or pulse conditions.

Q3: Are all substitutes automotive-qualified?

A: Not all. AC1206FR-07562RL, CRCW1206562RFKEA, CRCW1206562RFKEAHP, ERJ-8ENF5620V, and RMCF1206FT562R carry automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. CR1206-FX-5620ELF and RC1206FR-07562RL do not list AEC-Q200 certification. Select AEC-Q200 qualified parts for automotive applications.

Q4: What does "Not For New Designs" mean for the ERJ-8ENF5620V?

A: This designation indicates the part is in mature/legacy status and Panasonic does not recommend its use in new product designs. However, it remains available for existing product support and repair. For new designs, select from the Active-status alternatives listed.

Q5: Do all substitutes have the same package dimensions?

A: All substitutes use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. Minor variations exist in seated height (ranging from 0.024" to 0.030"), but these are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability. Verify specific height requirements if space constraints exist.

Q6: Are all parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part RCS3216F5620CS, are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and reliability in standard storage conditions.
