RCS3216F8452CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F8452CS is a 84.5 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, operating across -55°C to 155°C with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The part is currently in active production status with 816 pieces available in inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and environmental ratings align with the main part's functional requirements, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without performance degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F8452CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Resistance value: 84.5 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) remain within acceptable tolerances for 1206 package specifications. Packaging format differences (Tape & Reel versus bulk) do not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW120684K5FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0784K5L (YAGEO) are both in active production status with full design support. CRCW120684K5FKEA carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-0784K5L provides moisture-resistant thick film construction aligned with the main part's environmental specifications.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF8452V (Panasonic) is marked "Not For New Designs" and should be used only in existing production lines or legacy system maintenance where design continuity is required. This part carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification but is not recommended for new circuit development.

Compliance Alignment: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, unlimited MSL rating, and identical electrical performance parameters. Selection should prioritize parts with active production status for long-term supply chain stability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120684K5FKEA replace RCS3216F8452CS in new designs? A: Yes. CRCW120684K5FKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications. It is in active production status and carries automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for new designs requiring enhanced reliability.

Q: What is the difference between anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant features? A: Anti-sulfur protection prevents corrosion from sulfur-containing environments. Moisture-resistant construction protects against humidity ingress. Both RCS3216F8452CS and RC1206FR-0784K5L provide moisture resistance; RCS3216F8452CS additionally specifies anti-sulfur protection.

Q: Is ERJ-8ENF8452V suitable for new product development? A: No. ERJ-8ENF8452V is marked "Not For New Designs." Use this part only for maintaining existing production or legacy systems. For new designs, select CRCW120684K5FKEA or RC1206FR-0784K5L.

Q: Do packaging format differences (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) affect electrical performance? A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly processes. Electrical and mechanical performance remain identical regardless of packaging configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All listed substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant with unlimited MSL rating (MSL 1), matching the main part's environmental compliance profile.

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for RCS3216F8452CS? A: Substitution requires matching resistance (84.5 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), composition (thick film), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL 1).
