Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RCS3216F7154CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 7.15 MOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters:

• Package format: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions: 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part CRCW12067M15FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria. The primary distinction is the inclusion of AEC-Q200 automotive qualification in the substitute part, which represents an additional certification level rather than a deviation from the base specifications. Both parts are thick film resistors with identical resistance, tolerance, power rating, and package configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RCS3216F7154CS and CRCW12067M15FKEA are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

RCS3216F7154CS (Samsung Electro-Mechanics):

• Suitable for general industrial and consumer applications
• Anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction
• Unlimited moisture sensitivity level
• Standard commercial-grade thick film resistor

CRCW12067M15FKEA (Vishay Dale):

• Suitable for automotive and mission-critical applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification
• Identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the main part
• Slightly lower maximum seated height (0.024" vs 0.026")
• Available in Tape & Reel packaging for high-volume production

Selection should be based on application environment, automotive qualification requirements, and packaging needs. Both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable within the specified parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the RCS3216F7154CS and CRCW12067M15FKEA electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical resistance (7.15 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C).
