Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F625CS are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match Exactly):

• Resistance value: 6.2 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

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

Compliance & Environmental Parameters (Must Match):

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

The RC1206FR-076M2L from YAGEO satisfies all mandatory electrical and mechanical criteria. Both parts are thick film resistors with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature specifications. Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring direct substitution capability in circuit designs.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RC1206FR-076M2L from YAGEO is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the RCS3216F625CS. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications across resistance, tolerance, power rating, and temperature performance. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through 1206 package standardization, with dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances for PCB footprint placement.

Compliance alignment is complete: both parts maintain ROHS3 certification, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility in production environments. The YAGEO part is available in higher inventory (5776 units) compared to the Samsung original (900 units), providing supply chain flexibility.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and supplier preference, as electrical and mechanical performance are equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-076M2L replace RCS3216F625CS in existing circuit designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically identical with matching 6.2 MOhms resistance, ±1% tolerance, 0.25W power rating, and ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through standard 1206 package dimensions. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: Are there differences in physical dimensions between these parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. The Samsung part measures 3.20mm length versus 3.10mm for the YAGEO part. Both maintain 1.60mm width and 0.66mm/0.65mm maximum height. These variations are within 1206 package specifications and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RCS3216F625CS and RC1206FR-076M2L are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and rated MSL Level 1 (Unlimited). Regulatory and environmental certifications are identical.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung and YAGEO packaging?

A: The Samsung RCS3216F625CS uses standard packaging (not specified in detail), while the YAGEO RC1206FR-076M2L is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are the anti-sulfur properties of the Samsung part critical for substitution?

A: The Samsung part specifies anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features, while the YAGEO part specifies moisture-resistant properties. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 rating and operate across identical temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 155°C). Selection should consider specific application environmental requirements.

Q: What is the temperature coefficient specification and why does it matter?

A: Both parts have a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C, meaning resistance changes by approximately 100 parts per million for each degree Celsius change in operating temperature. This specification is identical between parts and ensures predictable performance across the -55°C ~ 155°C operating range.
