Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F8874CS is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Resistance value (8.87 MOhms), tolerance (±1%), and power rating (0.25W) must be identical. Temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C) and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) establish thermal performance boundaries.

Mechanical Compatibility: Package designation (1206 / 3216 Metric), physical dimensions (0.126" L x 0.063" W), and termination count (2) ensure PCB footprint compatibility and assembly process alignment.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) are mandatory for direct substitution in equivalent applications.

The CRCW12068M87FKEA from Vishay Dale meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the RCS3216F8874CS and CRCW12068M87FKEA are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and application-specific certifications.

The RCS3216F8874CS features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. The CRCW12068M87FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it suitable for automotive and high-reliability applications where this certification is required.

Seated height differs marginally (0.66mm versus 0.60mm), which remains within typical PCB assembly tolerances for 1206 package components. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance across the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12068M87FKEA directly replace RCS3216F8874CS on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (8.87 MOhms ±1%, 0.25W), package dimensions (1206 / 3.20mm x 1.60mm), and termination configuration. The 0.06mm difference in seated height does not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the anti-sulfur feature of RCS3216F8874CS and the AEC-Q200 rating of CRCW12068M87FKEA?

A: The RCS3216F8874CS emphasizes environmental protection through anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant thick film construction. The CRCW12068M87FKEA provides automotive-grade reliability certification (AEC-Q200). These are distinct feature sets; selection depends on application requirements rather than interchangeability.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both components operate across -55°C to 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient, meeting identical thermal specifications.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: RCS3216F8874CS is available in standard packaging. CRCW12068M87FKEA is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both RCS3216F8874CS and CRCW12068M87FKEA are ROHS3 compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
