Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F9310CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Must Match):

• Resistance value: 931 Ohms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Must Match):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Composition: Thick Film

Compliance Parameters (Must Match):

• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Status: REACH Unaffected

All identified substitute parts meet these core requirements and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The CRCW1206931RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07931RL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. The CRCW1206931RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for demanding applications.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Applications): The ERJ-8ENF9310V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is classified as Not For New Designs. This part is suitable only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies where the original part number is no longer available. New circuit designs should not incorporate this part number.

Compliance Considerations: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, matching the environmental and regulatory requirements of the main part. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Dimensional Compatibility: Minor variations exist in seated height and length dimensions across substitute parts. The YAGEO RC1206FR-07931RL exhibits a length of 3.10mm compared to 3.20mm for other parts. These variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or circuit performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206931RFKEA be used as a direct replacement for RCS3216F9310CS?

A: Yes. The CRCW1206931RFKEA meets all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RCS3216F9310CS. Both parts share identical resistance value (931 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C). Both are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating.

Q: What is the difference between the Samsung RCS3216F9310CS and Vishay CRCW1206931RFKEA?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer-specific features and certifications. The Vishay CRCW1206931RFKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, making it suitable for automotive applications. The Samsung RCS3216F9310CS features anti-sulfur construction. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard industrial applications.

Q: Why is the Panasonic ERJ-8ENF9310V marked as "Not For New Designs"?

A: The ERJ-8ENF9310V carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating that Panasonic has discontinued active development and promotion of this part number. While the part remains functionally equivalent and suitable for replacement applications, new circuit designs should utilize the CRCW1206931RFKEA or RC1206FR-07931RL instead to ensure long-term availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist. The YAGEO RC1206FR-07931RL measures 3.10mm in length compared to 3.20mm for Samsung and Vishay parts. Seated heights range from 0.024" to 0.028" across all parts. These variations fall within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB footprint compatibility or circuit functionality.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8533.21.0030, matching the regulatory classification of the main part.

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

A: The CRCW1206931RFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07931RL (YAGEO) both maintain Active product status with substantial inventory levels (10,908 and 9,422 units respectively). Both parts are suitable for new designs and offer reliable long-term supply continuity.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in automotive applications?

A: The CRCW1206931RFKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. For automotive applications requiring this certification, the CRCW1206931RFKEA is the appropriate selection. The RCS3216F9310CS, ERJ-8ENF9310V, and RC1206FR-07931RL do not carry explicit automotive certifications and should be evaluated against specific automotive requirements before use in such applications.
