RCS3216F9532CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RCS3216F9532CS is a 95.3 kOhms ±1% 0.25W chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This thick film resistor features anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant properties, operating across -55°C to 155°C with a temperature coefficient of ±100ppm/°C. The part is currently active in production with 862 pieces in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and compliance certifications align with the original component, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without functional degradation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F9532CS is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Electrical Parameters:

• Resistance value: 95.3 kOhms
• Tolerance: ±1%
• Power rating: 0.25W (1/4W)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C

Critical Mechanical Parameters:

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

Compliance Requirements:

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

All four identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in height (seated maximum) and specific feature sets (anti-sulfur vs. automotive AEC-Q200 certification) do not prevent substitution when electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The CR1206-FX-9532ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW120695K3FKEA (Vishay Dale), and RC1206FR-0795K3L (YAGEO) are all active products with full production support. These three parts are functionally equivalent to the RCS3216F9532CS and suitable for new designs and ongoing production.

Secondary Selection (Legacy Status): The ERJ-8ENF9532V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries a "Not For New Designs" product status. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part is designated for legacy applications only and should not be selected for new circuit designs.

Compliance Alignment: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original RCS3216F9532CS.

Feature Differentiation: The RCS3216F9532CS includes anti-sulfur properties in addition to moisture resistance. The Bourns CR1206-FX-9532ELF and YAGEO RC1206FR-0795K3L specify moisture resistance. The Vishay Dale CRCW120695K3FKEA and Panasonic ERJ-8ENF9532V include automotive AEC-Q200 certification, suitable for automotive applications requiring enhanced reliability qualification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the CR1206-FX-9532ELF directly replace the RCS3216F9532CS on a PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (95.3 kOhms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C to 155°C) and the same 1206 (3216 Metric) package footprint. Height variations (0.030" vs. 0.026" seated maximum) are within standard PCB assembly tolerances and do not affect placement or functionality.

Q: What is the difference between the Vishay Dale CRCW120695K3FKEA and the Samsung RCS3216F9532CS?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. The primary difference is that the Vishay part includes automotive AEC-Q200 certification, making it suitable for automotive applications. The Samsung part features anti-sulfur properties. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

Q: Why is the Panasonic ERJ-8ENF9532V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: The ERJ-8ENF9532V is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the RCS3216F9532CS but carries a legacy product status. This designation indicates that Panasonic is not actively promoting this part for new circuit designs. For new applications, select from the active alternatives: Bourns CR1206-FX-9532ELF, Vishay Dale CRCW120695K3FKEA, or YAGEO RC1206FR-0795K3L.

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

A: The RCS3216F9532CS is listed with "-" packaging notation. The substitute parts CR1206-FX-9532ELF, CRCW120695K3FKEA, ERJ-8ENF9532V, and RC1206FR-0795K3L are all available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, standard for high-volume SMD assembly.

Q: Do all parts meet the same moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: Yes. All five parts (original and four substitutes) have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Which substitute part should I select for automotive applications?

A: The CRCW120695K3FKEA (Vishay Dale) or ERJ-8ENF9532V (Panasonic) are qualified to automotive AEC-Q200 standard. If new design support is required, select the Vishay Dale CRCW120695K3FKEA, which maintains active product status.
