Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F624CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 620 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Composition: Thick Film
• RoHS3 Compliance
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity)
• REACH Unaffected status

All identified substitute parts match these core parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), and optional automotive certifications do not affect functional substitution capability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

The following parts are recommended for direct substitution with the RCS3216F624CS:

• AC1206FR-07620KL (YAGEO): Active status with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability.
• CR1206-FX-6203ELF (Bourns Inc.): Active status with moisture-resistant thick film composition. Highest inventory availability (26,089 pcs).
• CRCW1206620KFKEA (Vishay Dale): Active status with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. Largest inventory stock (47,827 pcs).
• RC1206FR-07620KL (YAGEO): Active status with moisture-resistant thick film composition. Available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® packaging format.

Secondary Substitute (Not For New Designs):

• ERJ-8ENF6203V (Panasonic Electronic Components): Product status is "Not For New Designs." This part meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but should not be selected for new circuit designs. Existing inventory is available (35,595 pcs) for legacy system maintenance only.

Selection Criteria:

All substitute parts maintain identical electrical performance (620 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and mechanical compatibility (1206 package, 2 terminations). Selection between active substitutes depends on packaging format preference (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape), automotive certification requirements (AEC-Q200), and supply chain availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC1206FR-07620KL replace RCS3216F624CS directly on the PCB?

A: Yes. AC1206FR-07620KL is a direct functional equivalent. Both components share identical electrical specifications (620 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C) and 1206 package footprint. Physical dimensions are within 1206 specification tolerances (AC1206FR-07620KL: 3.10mm L × 1.60mm W vs. RCS3216F624CS: 3.20mm L × 1.60mm W).

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

A: Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is supplied on continuous carrier tape for automated pick-and-place assembly. Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging is supplied in shorter tape segments for manual or semi-automated assembly. Both formats contain identical components; packaging format selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Are the YAGEO parts (AC1206FR-07620KL and RC1206FR-07620KL) interchangeable?

A: Both YAGEO parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical specifications. AC1206FR-07620KL is supplied in Tape & Reel format and includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC1206FR-07620KL is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format without automotive certification. Selection depends on packaging and certification requirements.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF6203V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF6203V carries "Not For New Designs" product status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is phasing out this part number. While the component meets all electrical and mechanical specifications and remains available in inventory, it should not be selected for new circuit designs. Use for legacy system maintenance only.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All parts listed, including the main part RCS3216F624CS, have MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: CRCW1206620KFKEA (Vishay Dale) has the highest inventory stock at 47,827 pcs. CR1206-FX-6203ELF (Bourns Inc.) is the second highest at 26,089 pcs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts and the main part RCS3216F624CS are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.
