Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F7683CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 768 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

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

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All substitute parts listed meet these core requirements and are functionally interchangeable in applications requiring a 768 kOhms ±1% 1/4W 1206 chip resistor.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CR1206-FX-7683ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-07768KL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. CR1206-FX-7683ELF offers the highest inventory availability at 26,066 pieces. RC1206FR-07768KL provides the lowest seated height at 0.026" (0.65mm), matching the original RCS3216F7683CS specification.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Applications):

ERJ-8ENF7683V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade components. However, this part is designated "Not For New Designs," limiting its use to legacy system maintenance or replacement scenarios. Inventory availability is substantial at 41,721 pieces.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-7683ELF directly replace RCS3216F7683CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (768 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), package type (1206), and compliance ratings (ROHS3, MSL 1). The maximum seated height difference (0.030" vs 0.026") is within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 components.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-8ENF7683V?

A: This designation indicates the part is available for replacement and maintenance of existing systems but should not be selected for new product development. New designs should prioritize CR1206-FX-7683ELF or RC1206FR-07768KL, both with Active status.

Q: Are there dimensional differences that affect PCB layout?

A: All parts conform to 1206 (3216 Metric) package specifications with length 0.126" (3.20mm) and width 0.063" (1.60mm). Seated height varies slightly: RCS3216F7683CS and RC1206FR-07768KL at 0.026" (0.65-0.66mm), CR1206-FX-7683ELF at 0.030" (0.75mm), and ERJ-8ENF7683V at 0.028" (0.70mm). These variations are within standard 1206 assembly specifications.

Q: Do all substitutes meet the same environmental and compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, matching the original RCS3216F7683CS specifications.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: CR1206-FX-7683ELF (Bourns Inc.) provides the highest inventory at 26,066 pieces, followed by ERJ-8ENF7683V (Panasonic) at 41,721 pieces and RC1206FR-07768KL (YAGEO) at 15,399 pieces.
