RCS3216F7682CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F7682CS is a 76.8 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 with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The component is classified as Active product status with 996 pieces currently in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility are maintained across the same package format and performance parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F7682CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 76.8 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package format: 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)
• Termination count: 2

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification and differences in feature sets (such as automotive AEC-Q200 certification or anti-sulfur coating) do not disqualify substitution when core parameters remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status):

CRCW120676K8FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0776K8L (YAGEO) are both classified as Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. Both are available in Tape & Reel packaging format. CRCW120676K8FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0776K8L maintains moisture-resistant properties consistent with the original RCS3216F7682CS specification.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF7682V (Panasonic) meets all electrical and mechanical equivalence criteria with the highest inventory availability (47912 pieces). However, this part is classified as "Not For New Designs," indicating it is in legacy or end-of-life status. Selection of this substitute should be limited to replacement or maintenance applications for existing designs only.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and EAR99 export classification identical to the original RCS3216F7682CS. MSL 1 rating ensures unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for all options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120676K8FKEA replace RCS3216F7682CS in new designs?

A: Yes. CRCW120676K8FKEA meets all mandatory electrical parameters (76.8 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and mechanical specifications (1206 package, 2 terminations). The addition of automotive AEC-Q200 certification provides enhanced reliability for automotive applications. Active product status supports new design implementation.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and bulk packaging for these resistors?

A: Packaging format affects handling and assembly processes. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly in high-volume production. Bulk packaging is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF7682V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: "Not For New Designs" status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and support for this product line. While the part remains functionally equivalent and available in inventory, it should not be selected for new circuit designs. This classification is used for legacy component management and existing design maintenance only.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within the 1206 package specification. 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 remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same temperature coefficient?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and -55°C to 155°C operating temperature range, ensuring equivalent thermal performance across the specified operating envelope.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance maintained across all options?

A: Yes. RCS3216F7682CS and all three substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with identical REACH unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.
