RCS3216F80R6CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F80R6CS is a 1206 (3216 Metric) thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component provides 80.6 Ohms resistance with ±1% tolerance and 0.25W power rating. The part features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction, operating across -55°C to 155°C temperature range. Product status is Active 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), mechanical compatibility (1206 package), and environmental operating parameters. Substitute components maintain functional equivalence while potentially offering alternative feature sets such as automotive qualification or different manufacturing processes.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 80.6 Ohms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match)

Mechanical Equivalence Requirements:

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within the 1206 package specification and differences in feature sets (automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, anti-sulfur coating) do not affect functional substitutability for standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

AC1206FR-0780R6L (YAGEO) and CRCW120680R6FKEA (Vishay Dale) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both components maintain Active product status with full ROHS3 compliance. AC1206FR-0780R6L includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. CRCW120680R6FKEA similarly provides AEC-Q200 rating with established supply chain availability.

RC1206FR-0780R6L (YAGEO) is an Active substitute without automotive qualification, appropriate for general industrial and consumer applications requiring moisture-resistant thick film construction.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF80R6V (Panasonic) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This component is electrically and mechanically equivalent but should not be selected for new product development. Existing designs currently using this part number may continue operation with this component; however, migration to Active-status alternatives is recommended for long-term supply chain stability.

Selection Criteria:

• For automotive applications: AC1206FR-0780R6L or CRCW120680R6FKEA
• For general industrial/consumer applications: RC1206FR-0780R6L or AC1206FR-0780R6L
• For new designs: Avoid ERJ-8ENF80R6V

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can AC1206FR-0780R6L directly replace RCS3216F80R6CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. AC1206FR-0780R6L meets all electrical and mechanical specifications: 80.6 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W power rating, 1206 package, ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, and -55°C to 155°C operating range. Physical dimensions vary slightly within 1206 package tolerance (3.10mm vs 3.20mm length), which does not affect PCB layout compatibility. Both components are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between RCS3216F80R6CS and CRCW120680R6FKEA?

A: Both components are electrically identical (80.6 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C). RCS3216F80R6CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. CRCW120680R6FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification. Physical dimensions differ slightly: RCS is 3.20mm length, CRCW is 3.20mm length with 0.60mm maximum height versus RCS 0.66mm height. These variations remain within 1206 package specification.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF80R6V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: ERJ-8ENF80R6V carries legacy product status from Panasonic Electronic Components. This designation indicates the manufacturer is not actively developing or promoting this part for new applications. While the component remains electrically and mechanically equivalent, new product designs should select from Active-status alternatives (AC1206FR-0780R6L, CRCW120680R6FKEA, or RC1206FR-0780R6L) to ensure long-term availability and manufacturer support.

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

A: AC1206FR-0780R6L, CRCW120680R6FKEA, ERJ-8ENF80R6V, and RC1206FR-0780R6L are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. RCS3216F80R6CS is supplied in bulk packaging. For automated assembly processes requiring tape and reel format, any of the four substitute parts are suitable. For manual assembly or bulk component handling, verify packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Do substitute parts require different soldering or assembly processes?

A: No. All substitute parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package with 2 terminations. Standard SMD soldering processes, reflow profiles, and PCB layout designs for 1206 resistors apply uniformly across all listed components. No process modifications are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply chain availability?

A: CRCW120680R6FKEA (Vishay Dale) and AC1206FR-0780R6L (YAGEO) demonstrate high inventory levels (10,349 and 10,734 pieces respectively). RC1206FR-0780R6L (YAGEO) shows 65,528 pieces in stock. ERJ-8ENF80R6V (Panasonic) has 151,562 pieces available. Inventory levels fluctuate; consult current distributor data for real-time availability.
