Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F82R5CS are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 82.5 Ohms
• 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 to 155°C
• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements, ensuring functional equivalence in standard circuit applications. Dimensional variations within supplier tolerances do not affect substitutability for standard PCB assembly processes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Product Status):

CRCW120682R5FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0782R5L (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain active production status and meet all electrical and mechanical specifications. CRCW120682R5FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0782R5L offers the highest inventory availability (45,300 pieces) and is suitable for general industrial and commercial applications.

Secondary Substitute (Legacy Status):

ERJ-8ENF82R5V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is functionally equivalent but carries "Not For New Designs" product status. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance applications in existing designs. New product development should utilize active-status alternatives.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) across all parts ensures compatibility with standard moisture-controlled storage and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120682R5FKEA replace RCS3216F82R5CS in all applications?

A: Yes. CRCW120682R5FKEA meets all electrical specifications (82.5 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and package requirements (1206 3216 Metric). The automotive AEC-Q200 qualification provides additional reliability assurance for demanding environments.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All three substitutes share identical electrical parameters. Primary differences are: CRCW120682R5FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification; RC1206FR-0782R5L offers highest inventory availability; ERJ-8ENF82R5V is legacy status (not recommended for new designs). Dimensional variations (height 0.024" to 0.028") are within standard PCB assembly tolerances.

Q: Is ERJ-8ENF82R5V suitable for new product development?

A: No. ERJ-8ENF82R5V carries "Not For New Designs" status. Use CRCW120682R5FKEA or RC1206FR-0782R5L for new designs. ERJ-8ENF82R5V is appropriate only for replacement in existing products currently using this part.

Q: Are all substitutes available in Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Yes. CRCW120682R5FKEA, ERJ-8ENF82R5V, and RC1206FR-0782R5L are all supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, standard for automated PCB assembly processes.

Q: Do dimensional differences affect PCB assembly compatibility?

A: No. Height variations (0.024" to 0.028" seated maximum) are within standard PCB design tolerances and do not affect assembly or electrical performance. All parts use identical 1206 (3216 Metric) footprints.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: RC1206FR-0782R5L (YAGEO) demonstrates strong availability with 45,300 pieces in stock and active product status. CRCW120682R5FKEA (Vishay Dale) with 18,554 pieces also maintains active status. Both are suitable for long-term supply chain planning.
