The identified substitute RC1206FR-075M62L from YAGEO meets all critical electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: RCS3216F5624CS

The RCS3216F5624CS remains the specified component with active product status and current inventory availability (837 pieces). This Samsung Electro-Mechanics part includes anti-sulfur protection in addition to moisture resistance, providing enhanced environmental durability for applications in corrosive or high-humidity environments.

Substitute Part: RC1206FR-075M62L

The RC1206FR-075M62L from YAGEO qualifies as a direct electrical and mechanical substitute. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, MSL 1 rated, and REACH unaffected. The YAGEO part demonstrates higher inventory availability (3765 pieces) and is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging format. Dimensional variations are minimal (length difference of 0.004" / 0.10mm; height difference of 0.001" / 0.01mm) and remain within standard PCB layout tolerances for 1206 package footprints.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability requirements and lead time
• Packaging format compatibility (bulk vs. Tape & Reel)
• Environmental protection level (anti-sulfur feature in Samsung part)
• Supply chain and cost considerations

Both parts satisfy identical electrical performance and regulatory compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-075M62L replace RCS3216F5624CS in all applications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (5.62 MOhms, ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C), identical package type (1206 / 3216 Metric), and identical compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1, REACH Unaffected). Dimensional differences are negligible for standard PCB assembly processes.

Q: What is the difference between the two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Manufacturer: Samsung Electro-Mechanics vs. YAGEO; (2) Series designation: RCS vs. RC_L; (3) Anti-sulfur feature: Present in RCS3216F5624CS only; (4) Packaging: Bulk vs. Tape & Reel; (5) Physical dimensions: Minor variations within 1206 package tolerance (length 3.20mm vs. 3.10mm, height 0.66mm vs. 0.65mm).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB layout?

A: No. Both parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard. The 0.10mm length difference and 0.01mm height difference are within standard PCB footprint tolerances and do not affect assembly or electrical performance.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-corrosion environments?

A: The RCS3216F5624CS includes anti-sulfur protection in addition to moisture resistance, making it the preferred choice for applications exposed to corrosive atmospheres or sulfur-containing environments.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 rating?

A: MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1) indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture bake requirements. Both parts can be stored and handled without special moisture control procedures, simplifying inventory management and reducing component preparation time.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. RCS3216F5624CS has 837 pieces in stock; RC1206FR-075M62L has 3765 pieces in stock. The YAGEO part offers higher availability for high-volume requirements.
