Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F8872CS is determined by strict matching of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 88.7 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power Rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Composition: Thick Film
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria. Variations in physical dimensions (length, width, height) within standard tolerances and differences in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) do not affect functional substitution. Product status differences are noted for design consideration but do not prevent electrical equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW120688K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-0788K7L (YAGEO) are both classified as Active products with full compliance to ROHS3 and equivalent electrical specifications. Both are suitable for new design implementations and long-term supply chain stability.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF8872V (Panasonic) carries a "Not For New Designs" product status classification. While electrically and mechanically equivalent to the main part, this component should be used only in existing designs requiring direct replacement or in applications where design refresh is not feasible.

Compliance Considerations: All four parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and EAR99 ECCN classification. Automotive applications requiring AEC-Q200 qualification should specify CRCW120688K7FKEA or ERJ-8ENF8872V, as these carry explicit automotive ratings. The RCS3216F8872CS and RC1206FR-0788K7L do not list automotive qualification but meet all electrical and environmental specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW120688K7FKEA directly replace RCS3216F8872CS in existing PCB layouts?

A: Yes. Both components share identical 1206 (3216 Metric) package dimensions and electrical specifications (88.7 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C). Physical dimension variations (length 0.126" vs. 0.126", height 0.024" vs. 0.026") fall within standard PCB pad tolerances and do not affect placement or soldering.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RCS3216F8872CS and Panasonic ERJ-8ENF8872V?

A: Electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is product status: RCS3216F8872CS is Active, while ERJ-8ENF8872V is classified as Not For New Designs. For new circuit designs, RCS3216F8872CS or CRCW120688K7FKEA are preferred. ERJ-8ENF8872V is suitable for replacement in existing applications.

Q: Are there packaging format differences between these substitutes?

A: The main part RCS3216F8872CS is supplied in standard packaging format. All three substitute parts (CRCW120688K7FKEA, ERJ-8ENF8872V, RC1206FR-0788K7L) are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Packaging format does not affect electrical performance or PCB compatibility; it only impacts handling and assembly logistics.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for automotive applications?

A: CRCW120688K7FKEA (Vishay Dale) and ERJ-8ENF8872V (Panasonic) both carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RC1206FR-0788K7L (YAGEO) does not list automotive certification. For automotive designs, CRCW120688K7FKEA is the recommended choice due to Active product status.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All four parts (RCS3216F8872CS, CRCW120688K7FKEA, ERJ-8ENF8872V, RC1206FR-0788K7L) are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: What is the significance of the ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient across all parts?

A: The temperature coefficient specifies resistance value drift over the operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). All parts maintain ±100ppm/°C, ensuring consistent performance across the full temperature range. This parameter is identical across all substitutes and the main part.
