RCS3216F7152CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F7152CS is a 71.5 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, operating across -55°C to 155°C with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is currently in active production status with 830 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings align with the main part's functional requirements, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F7152CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 71.5 kOhms
• 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
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All three substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in physical dimensions (length and height) remain within acceptable tolerances for 1206 package specifications and do not affect circuit board layout compatibility or functional performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW120671K5FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0771K5L (YAGEO) are both active production parts with full electrical and mechanical equivalence to the RCS3216F7152CS. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and unlimited MSL rating. CRCW120671K5FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0771K5L provides moisture-resistant thick film construction matching the main part's environmental specifications.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF7152V (Panasonic) meets all electrical and mechanical parameters but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance of existing assemblies where design continuity is required.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and storage conditions without moisture baking requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120671K5FKEA replace RCS3216F7152CS in new designs? A: Yes. CRCW120671K5FKEA meets all electrical specifications (71.5 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), operates across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The 1206 package is mechanically compatible. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification provides additional reliability assurance.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and RC1206FR-0771K5L? A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions vary slightly (RC1206FR-0771K5L: 3.10mm L vs. 3.20mm L for RCS3216F7152CS), but both conform to 1206 package specifications. RC1206FR-0771K5L is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF7152V marked "Not For New Designs"? A: ERJ-8ENF7152V carries legacy product status from Panasonic. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, it is restricted to replacement applications only. For new circuit designs, select CRCW120671K5FKEA or RC1206FR-0771K5L.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format? A: The main part RCS3216F7152CS packaging is not specified in the data. All three substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume SMD assembly. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Do substitute parts require different PCB layout considerations? A: No. All parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint and two terminations. PCB layout, solder pad dimensions, and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability? A: CRCW120671K5FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0771K5L (YAGEO) are both active production parts with high inventory levels (19,335 and 18,100 pieces respectively), indicating strong market availability and supply chain stability.
