Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F6044CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 6.04 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Termination count: 2
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute CRCW12066M04FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all mandatory parameters. Physical dimensions remain within acceptable tolerance (height difference of 0.002" maximum). Both parts are Active status with full regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both RCS3216F6044CS and CRCW12066M04FKEA are Active status components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements and supply chain considerations:

RCS3216F6044CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics): Primary selection when Samsung sourcing is preferred or contractually specified. Features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. Current inventory: 1143 pieces.

CRCW12066M04FKEA (Vishay Dale): Qualified substitute with automotive AEC-Q200 rating. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade qualification. Current inventory: 15774 pieces. Seated height is 0.002" lower than primary part, which may be advantageous in space-constrained designs.

Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent within specified tolerances and operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12066M04FKEA replace RCS3216F6044CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical (6.04 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C) and mechanically compatible in 1206 package footprints. The 0.002" height difference is within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: What is the significance of the AEC-Q200 rating on the Vishay part?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive qualification standard. This rating indicates the Vishay part meets automotive reliability and testing requirements. Use this part when automotive-grade components are specified.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, meeting standard industrial and automotive temperature requirements.

Q: What is the difference between "Anti-Sulfur, Moisture Resistant" and "Automotive AEC-Q200" features?

A: Anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction are material/process features of the Samsung part. AEC-Q200 is a qualification standard for the Vishay part. Both provide environmental protection; the distinction reflects different qualification methodologies.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RCS3216F6044CS and CRCW12066M04FKEA are ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in tape and reel packaging?

A: The Vishay part (CRCW12066M04FKEA) is specified as Tape & Reel packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application before substitution.
