RCS3216F564CS 560K Ohm 1206 Chip Resistor Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F564CS is a 560 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant characteristics. The part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general industrial and consumer applications requiring precision resistive elements with environmental protection.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design flexibility permits component sourcing from alternative manufacturers while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution validity for the RCS3216F564CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

Resistance value: 560 kOhms (exact match required)
Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match required)
Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Parameters:

Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)

Compliance Parameters:

RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (exact match required)
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)

All six substitute parts listed meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard manufacturing tolerances, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and optional certifications (such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification) do not disqualify substitution but may influence selection based on application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Recommended for New Designs):

AC1206FR-07560KL (YAGEO), CR1206-FX-5603ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW1206560KFKEA (Vishay Dale), KTR18EZPF5603 (Rohm Semiconductor), and RC1206FR-07560KL (YAGEO) are all suitable direct replacements. These parts maintain Active product status and full ROHS3 compliance. Selection among these five options may be influenced by packaging preference (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape), optional automotive AEC-Q200 certification availability, or established supplier relationships.

Secondary Substitute (Restricted Status):

ERJ-8ENF5603V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria and maintains ROHS3 compliance. However, this part carries "Not For New Designs" product status. Use of this component is appropriate only for legacy system maintenance, repair, or continuation of existing production runs where design changes are not feasible.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity), matching the primary part specification. Three substitutes (AC1206FR-07560KL, CRCW1206560KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF5603V, KTR18EZPF5603) include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for automotive and harsh-environment applications but is not required for general industrial use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute RCS3216F564CS with any of the listed parts without circuit redesign?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance (560 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance status (ROHS3, MSL 1). Direct substitution in existing PCB layouts is valid.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging provides the same components but in smaller quantities on cut tape segments, typically for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical; packaging choice depends on assembly process and order quantity requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF5603V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Not For New Designs" status indicates that the manufacturer (Panasonic) has designated this part for legacy support only. While the component remains electrically and mechanically equivalent and is ROHS3 compliant, it should not be selected for new product development. Use this part only for repair, maintenance, or continuation of existing designs where component change is impractical.

Q: Do the AEC-Q200 certified parts offer advantages over non-certified equivalents?

A: AEC-Q200 certification indicates the part has undergone automotive-grade reliability testing and qualification. For automotive applications, industrial environments with temperature cycling, or systems requiring documented reliability assurance, AEC-Q200 certified parts (AC1206FR-07560KL, CRCW1206560KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF5603V, KTR18EZPF5603) provide additional qualification documentation. For general industrial or consumer applications, non-certified equivalents provide identical electrical performance.

Q: Are there physical dimension differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor variations in physical dimensions exist within standard manufacturing tolerances. Length ranges from 3.10mm to 3.20mm, width is consistently 1.60mm, and height ranges from 0.60mm to 0.75mm. These variations are within standard 1206 package specifications and do not affect PCB layout compatibility. Verify specific dimensions only if space constraints are critical in your application.

Q: What inventory availability should I expect?

A: Inventory levels vary by supplier and part number. Current stock ranges from 5,400 to 76,168 pieces across the listed substitutes. For supply chain planning, contact your component distributor for real-time availability and lead time information specific to your required quantity and delivery timeline.
