Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F8064CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 8.06 MOhms
• 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
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance & Environmental (Required):

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL 1 rating
• REACH unaffected status

All identified substitutes meet these core parameters. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard tolerances and differences in specific features (anti-sulfur vs. automotive qualification) do not disqualify parts from substitution eligibility when all electrical and package specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW12068M06FKEA (Vishay Dale) qualifies as a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications and package dimensions. This part carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which provides additional reliability assurance for applications requiring automotive-grade components. All compliance certifications (ROHS3, REACH unaffected) match the primary part. Seated height is 0.024" (0.60mm), which is within acceptable PCB assembly tolerances relative to the main part's 0.026" (0.66mm).

RC1206FR-078M06L (YAGEO) qualifies as a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications and package type. Physical dimensions show minor variation: length is 0.122" (3.10mm) versus 0.126" (3.20mm), and seated height is 0.026" (0.65mm). These dimensional differences remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect electrical performance or PCB assembly compatibility. All compliance certifications align with the primary part.

Both substitutes are Active products with established supply availability and meet all critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters required for direct substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12068M06FKEA replace RCS3216F8064CS in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (8.06 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C). All compliance certifications match. The CRCW part includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, which does not restrict its use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the significance of the dimensional differences between RC1206FR-078M06L and RCS3216F8064CS?

A: The RC1206FR-078M06L has a length of 3.10mm versus 3.20mm for the main part, and seated height of 0.65mm versus 0.66mm. These variations fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect electrical performance, PCB footprint compatibility, or assembly processes.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RCS3216F8064CS, CRCW12068M06FKEA, and RC1206FR-078M06L are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating and REACH unaffected status.

Q: What is the difference between packaging types listed for these parts?

A: RCS3216F8064CS is supplied in bulk packaging, while CRCW12068M06FKEA and RC1206FR-078M06L are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format does not affect component electrical or mechanical specifications and is determined by procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Yes. All three parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for direct PCB assembly substitution. The 1206 package footprint is standardized, and dimensional variations are within acceptable tolerances for automated and manual assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW12068M06FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and is the appropriate choice for automotive-grade applications. However, all three parts meet the same electrical and environmental specifications and operate across the same temperature range.
