Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F7150CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 715 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 RCS3216F7150CS in standard circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status):

The CRCW1206715RFKEA (Vishay Dale), RC1206FR-07715RL (YAGEO), and RMCF1206FT715R (Stackpole) are all suitable direct replacements for the RCS3216F7150CS. These parts maintain active production status and are recommended for new designs and ongoing production applications. All three meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications with full RoHS3 compliance.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

The ERJ-8ENF7150V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is electrically and mechanically equivalent but carries a "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable for replacement in existing applications or legacy system maintenance but should not be selected for new circuit designs.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with identical HTSUS code 8533.21.0030. Moisture sensitivity level remains constant at MSL 1 (Unlimited) across all options, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the RCS3216F7150CS be replaced with any of these substitute parts without circuit modification?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent. They share identical resistance values (715 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 possible without circuit redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts differ primarily in manufacturer, packaging format, and product status. CRCW1206715RFKEA, RC1206FR-07715RL, and RMCF1206FT715R are in active production. ERJ-8ENF7150V is marked "Not For New Designs." Some parts include automotive AEC-Q200 certification (CRCW1206715RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF7150V, RMCF1206FT715R), while others do not. Packaging options include Cut Tape & Digi-Reel or Tape & Reel formats.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Dimensional variations are minimal. The length ranges from 0.122" to 0.126" (3.10mm to 3.20mm), and height ranges from 0.024" to 0.028" (0.60mm to 0.70mm). These variations fall within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect footprint compatibility or placement on 1206 pads.

Q: Should I select a substitute with AEC-Q200 certification?

A: AEC-Q200 certification is present on CRCW1206715RFKEA, ERJ-8ENF7150V, and RMCF1206FT715R. Selection depends on application requirements. Automotive and high-reliability applications may benefit from AEC-Q200 rated parts. The RCS3216F7150CS and RC1206FR-07715RL do not carry this certification but remain fully compliant with standard industrial specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status of each substitute?

A: YAGEO RC1206FR-07715RL has the highest inventory at 136,201 pieces. Vishay Dale CRCW1206715RFKEA has 16,562 pieces. Stackpole RMCF1206FT715R has 21,790 pieces. Panasonic ERJ-8ENF7150V has 39,053 pieces. The original RCS3216F7150CS has 716 pieces in stock.

Q: Can I use ERJ-8ENF7150V in new designs?

A: The ERJ-8ENF7150V carries a "Not For New Designs" status. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, it is intended for replacement and legacy applications only. For new circuit designs, select from CRCW1206715RFKEA, RC1206FR-07715RL, or RMCF1206FT715R.
