RCS3216F8061CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F8061CS is an 8.06 kOhms ±1% 0.25W (1/4W) chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 1206 (3216 Metric) package. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C and operating range of -55°C to 155°C. The part is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package size, termination count, physical dimensions). Substitute parts may vary in specific features such as automotive qualification or pulse withstanding capability while maintaining core functional equivalence.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F8061CS is determined by strict matching of the following core parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 8.06 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of Terminations: 2
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Power Rating Consideration: Substitute parts with equal or higher power ratings (0.25W or greater) are functionally equivalent. The RCS3216F8061CS operates at 0.25W; substitutes rated at 0.25W provide direct equivalence, while 0.75W-rated variants offer enhanced thermal margin in the same package footprint.

Feature Variations: Substitute parts may include additional certifications (Automotive AEC-Q200) or enhanced capabilities (pulse withstanding) without affecting core substitution eligibility. These represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from the base specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status):

CR1206-FX-8061ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW12068K06FKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-078K06L (YAGEO) are direct functional equivalents with active product status. These parts match all core electrical and mechanical parameters of the RCS3216F8061CS and are suitable for new designs and production applications.

Enhanced Capability Substitute:

CRCW12068K06FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) provides the same electrical specifications with increased power rating (0.75W versus 0.25W) in an equivalent 1206 package footprint. This variant includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification and pulse withstanding capability, offering enhanced thermal performance for applications requiring additional margin.

Legacy Substitute (Not For New Designs):

ERJ-8ENF8061V (Panasonic Electronic Components) meets all electrical and mechanical specifications but carries "Not For New Designs" status. This part is suitable only for replacement in existing production or legacy applications where continuity is required.

Compliance Basis:

All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1), and equivalent operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 155°C). Selection among active-status alternatives should be based on supply chain availability, packaging format (Tape & Reel), and application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12068K06FKEAHP (0.75W) be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F8061CS (0.25W)?

A: Yes. The CRCW12068K06FKEAHP is a direct functional substitute. The higher power rating (0.75W versus 0.25W) in the same 1206 package provides additional thermal margin without affecting electrical performance. All other parameters—resistance, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating range, and physical dimensions—are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between CR1206-FX-8061ELF and CRCW12068K06FKEA?

A: Both are 8.06 kOhms ±1% 0.25W 1206 resistors with identical electrical specifications. CR1206-FX-8061ELF is manufactured by Bourns Inc. and features moisture resistance. CRCW12068K06FKEA is manufactured by Vishay Dale and includes Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Selection depends on supply availability and whether automotive qualification is required for the application.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF8061V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF8061V carries this status from Panasonic Electronic Components, indicating the part is in mature or declining production phase. While electrically and mechanically equivalent to RCS3216F8061CS, it is suitable only for replacement in existing applications. For new designs, select from active-status alternatives: CR1206-FX-8061ELF, CRCW12068K06FKEA, or RC1206FR-078K06L.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The RCS3216F8061CS is supplied with standard packaging; substitute parts maintain equivalent packaging compatibility.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences among substitutes?

A: All substitutes use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with nominal dimensions of 3.20mm length × 1.60mm width. Height variations are minor: RCS3216F8061CS (0.66mm max), CR1206-FX-8061ELF (0.75mm max), CRCW12068K06FKEA (0.60mm max), CRCW12068K06FKEAHP (0.65mm max), ERJ-8ENF8061V (0.70mm max), and RC1206FR-078K06L (0.65mm max). These variations are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect interchangeability.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with different temperature coefficient?

A: No. All identified substitutes maintain the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient matching the RCS3216F8061CS. Temperature coefficient is a core parameter determining substitution eligibility and must not vary.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: CR1206-FX-8061ELF (52,160 pcs), CRCW12068K06FKEA (4,103 pcs), CRCW12068K06FKEAHP (5,974 pcs), ERJ-8ENF8061V (50,498 pcs), and RC1206FR-078K06L (12,803 pcs) are in stock. The RCS3216F8061CS has 864 pcs available. Inventory levels should be verified with suppliers for current availability.
