Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F5760CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 576 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

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

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

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: CRCW1206576RFKEA (Vishay Dale)

The CRCW1206576RFKEA is the preferred substitute for new designs. This part maintains active production status, is ROHS3 compliant, and includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. With 5583 pieces in inventory, it provides reliable supply availability while meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RCS3216F5760CS.

Secondary Recommendation: RC1206FR-07576RL (YAGEO)

The RC1206FR-07576RL from YAGEO is an active production alternative with the highest inventory availability at 72976 pieces. This part is ROHS3 compliant and moisture resistant, making it suitable for general industrial applications. The RC_L series maintains all required electrical parameters and package compatibility.

Legacy Alternative: ERJ-8ENF5760V (Panasonic)

The ERJ-8ENF5760V is marked as "Not For New Designs" and should only be used for replacement or repair of existing assemblies. While it meets all electrical and mechanical specifications and carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, its discontinued design status makes it unsuitable for new product development. However, it remains available with 18697 pieces in stock for legacy system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the RCS3216F5760CS with any of these parts in my circuit?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance values (576 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity and specific feature sets. The RCS3216F5760CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties. The CRCW1206576RFKEA and ERJ-8ENF5760V include automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. The RC1206FR-07576RL emphasizes moisture resistance. All parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: Which substitute should I choose for new product designs?

A: For new designs, select either the CRCW1206576RFKEA (Vishay Dale) or RC1206FR-07576RL (YAGEO). Both are in active production status. The CRCW1206576RFKEA is recommended if automotive-grade reliability is required. The RC1206FR-07576RL is recommended for maximum supply availability.

Q: Why is the ERJ-8ENF5760V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: The ERJ-8ENF5760V is a legacy product no longer recommended for new applications by Panasonic. While it remains functionally equivalent and available in inventory, it should only be used for replacement or repair of existing systems to maintain design consistency.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between these parts?

A: All parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with nominal dimensions of 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). Maximum seated heights vary slightly: RCS3216F5760CS at 0.026" (0.66mm), CRCW1206576RFKEA at 0.024" (0.60mm), ERJ-8ENF5760V at 0.028" (0.70mm), and RC1206FR-07576RL at 0.026" (0.65mm). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS and REACH compliance?

A: Yes. All listed parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the compliance status of the RCS3216F5760CS. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The CRCW1206576RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF5760V, and RC1206FR-07576RL are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department before ordering.
