Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F623CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 62 kOhms
• 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)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore suitable for direct replacement in applications requiring the RCS3216F623CS.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute (Recommended for New Designs): CRCW120662K0FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0762KL (YAGEO) are both suitable primary substitutes. Both parts are Active in product status, ensuring long-term availability and support for new design implementations. CRCW120662K0FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it appropriate for automotive applications. RC1206FR-0762KL offers the highest inventory availability (262621 pieces) and is suitable for general industrial applications.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Applications Only): ERJ-8ENF6202V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is marked as "Not For New Designs" and should be used only in legacy system maintenance or repair scenarios where the original part specification is required. Despite this status limitation, it meets all electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant and carry MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), matching the original RCS3216F623CS specifications. Selection between substitutes should be based on application requirements (automotive vs. industrial), packaging format preference, and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120662K0FKEA replace RCS3216F623CS directly on the PCB? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (62 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), identical package dimensions (1206/3216 Metric), and identical operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Direct PCB replacement is supported.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts? A: All three substitutes meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. CRCW120662K0FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification. ERJ-8ENF6202V is marked "Not For New Designs." RC1206FR-0762KL offers the highest inventory availability. Selection depends on application class and design phase.

Q: Does packaging format affect substitution compatibility? A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape) affects procurement and assembly processes but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All substitute parts are available in standard SMD packaging formats suitable for automated assembly.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. RCS3216F623CS and all three substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL Rating 1 (Unlimited), ensuring compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Can ERJ-8ENF6202V be used in new product designs? A: ERJ-8ENF6202V is marked "Not For New Designs" by the manufacturer. It should be reserved for maintenance, repair, or legacy system support only. For new designs, use CRCW120662K0FKEA or RC1206FR-0762KL.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient significance? A: All parts share ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, ensuring identical resistance drift characteristics across the -55°C to 155°C operating range. This parameter is critical for precision analog circuits and must match the original specification.
