RCS3216F8453CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F8453CS is a 845 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant characteristics. The part operates across -55°C to 155°C temperature range and complies with ROHS3 standards.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating), mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count), and environmental performance parameters (operating temperature range, composition type, compliance certifications).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F8453CS is determined by strict alignment with the following parameters:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value must equal 845 kOhms; tolerance must equal ±1%; power rating must equal 0.25W; temperature coefficient must equal ±100ppm/°C.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type must be 1206 (3216 Metric); number of terminations must be 2; physical dimensions must be compatible with 1206 footprint specifications.

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range must span -55°C to 155°C; composition must be thick film; RoHS3 compliance is required; MSL rating must be 1 (Unlimited).

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in product status, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk), and optional features (automotive certification, anti-sulfur coating) do not disqualify substitution but may influence selection based on application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

CRCW1206845KFKEA (Vishay Dale): This substitute is recommended for applications requiring automotive-grade components. The part carries AEC-Q200 certification and maintains Active product status. Electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part. Height specification (0.024" maximum) is within acceptable tolerance for 1206 package footprints.

RC1206FR-07845KL (YAGEO): This substitute is suitable for general-purpose applications. The part maintains Active product status with moisture-resistant characteristics matching the main part's environmental profile. Dimensions (0.122" L x 0.063" W) are within 1206 package specifications. Inventory availability is confirmed.

ERJ-8ENF8453V (Panasonic): This substitute carries AEC-Q200 automotive certification but is designated as Not For New Designs. Use of this part is restricted to legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where original component sourcing is unavailable. Electrical specifications are fully compatible; however, product status limits applicability to new circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206845KFKEA replace RCS3216F8453CS in any application?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (845 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W), operate across -55°C to 155°C, use thick film composition, and comply with ROHS3. Physical dimensions are compatible with 1206 footprints. The Vishay part includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, which does not prevent use in non-automotive applications.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung and YAGEO parts?

A: RCS3216F8453CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant coating. RC1206FR-07845KL features moisture-resistant coating. Both maintain identical electrical performance and operating temperature range. Physical dimensions differ slightly (Samsung: 0.126" L; YAGEO: 0.122" L), but both conform to 1206 package specifications. Both are Active status products.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF8453V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: Product status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. The part remains electrically and mechanically compatible but should be used only for replacement or legacy system maintenance where component continuity is required.

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

A: Yes. All identified substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, suitable for automated assembly processes. The main part RCS3216F8453CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do height differences between parts affect PCB assembly?

A: Height variations (Samsung: 0.026" max; Vishay: 0.024" max; Panasonic: 0.028" max; YAGEO: 0.026" max) are within acceptable tolerance for 1206 package specifications and do not affect standard PCB assembly processes or reflow soldering profiles.

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

A: CRCW1206845KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07845KL (YAGEO) both maintain Active product status with confirmed inventory levels. ERJ-8ENF8453V (Panasonic) is Not For New Designs, indicating reduced long-term availability commitment.
