Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F9311CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

• Resistance value: 9.31 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric)
• Number of terminations: 2
• Physical dimensions compatible with 1206 footprint

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• REACH Unaffected status

All three substitute parts meet these core criteria. Variations in packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk), manufacturer certifications (AEC-Q200), and product lifecycle status are secondary considerations that do not affect electrical or mechanical substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): CRCW12069K31FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-079K31L (YAGEO) are both Active products with full production support. Both maintain identical electrical specifications and RoHS3 compliance. CRCW12069K31FKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-079K31L provides moisture-resistant construction matching the original part's environmental protection features.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): ERJ-8ENF9311V (Panasonic) is designated "Not For New Designs" and should be used only for replacement or repair of existing assemblies. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part is not recommended for new product development due to its lifecycle status.

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH Unaffected status, and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12069K31FKEA directly replace RCS3216F9311CS in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical resistance (9.31 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating range (-55°C to 155°C). Physical dimensions are compatible with standard 1206 PCB footprints. The primary difference is packaging format and AEC-Q200 automotive certification on the Vishay part.

Q: What is the significance of the "Not For New Designs" status on ERJ-8ENF9311V? A: This designation indicates the part is in end-of-life phase. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, Panasonic does not recommend its use in new product development. It remains suitable for field replacements and repair of existing assemblies where supply continuity is not critical.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts? A: Height specifications vary slightly: RCS3216F9311CS (0.66mm), CRCW12069K31FKEA (0.60mm), ERJ-8ENF9311V (0.70mm), and RC1206FR-079K31L (0.65mm). All variations remain within standard 1206 package tolerances and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility. Length and width dimensions are consistent across all parts at 3.20mm x 1.60mm (or 3.10mm x 1.60mm for YAGEO).

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for automotive applications? A: CRCW12069K31FKEA carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, making it the appropriate choice for automotive circuit designs requiring qualified component status.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet current compliance requirements? A: Yes. All four parts (including the main part) are ROHS3 compliant, REACH Unaffected, and carry MSL Level 1 rating, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards.
