Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RCS3216F95R3CS are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters (Critical):

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

Mechanical Parameters (Critical):

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

Compliance Parameters (Required):

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

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status): The CR1206-FX-95R3ELF (Bourns Inc.) and RC1206FR-0795R3L (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and continued manufacturing support. These parts are suitable for new design implementations and production environments requiring component longevity.

Secondary Selection (Automotive-Qualified): The ERJ-8ENF95R3V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is qualified to AEC-Q200 automotive standards and carries Not For New Designs status. This part is suitable only for replacement or maintenance applications in existing designs where automotive-grade reliability is required. New design implementations should avoid this part due to its discontinued status for new applications.

Compliance Alignment: All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing processes and environmental regulations. REACH Unaffected status is consistent across all parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CR1206-FX-95R3ELF replace RCS3216F95R3CS directly? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (95.3 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W), temperature characteristics (±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C), and 1206 package footprint. Physical dimensions are compatible with standard 1206 PCB layouts.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts? A: All three substitutes meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements. The primary difference is product status: CR1206-FX-95R3ELF and RC1206FR-0795R3L are Active, while ERJ-8ENF95R3V is Not For New Designs. ERJ-8ENF95R3V additionally carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification.

Q: Are there dimensional differences between these parts? A: Minor variations exist in maximum seated height: RCS3216F95R3CS (0.66mm), CR1206-FX-95R3ELF (0.75mm), ERJ-8ENF95R3V (0.70mm), and RC1206FR-0795R3L (0.65mm). Length dimensions vary slightly (3.20mm vs 3.10mm for YAGEO). These variations remain within 1206 package tolerance and do not affect PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs? A: CR1206-FX-95R3ELF or RC1206FR-0795R3L are appropriate for new designs due to Active product status and confirmed long-term availability. ERJ-8ENF95R3V should be reserved for applications requiring automotive AEC-Q200 qualification or replacement of existing automotive assemblies.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant? A: Yes. All four parts (main part and three substitutes) are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, meeting current environmental and manufacturing standards.

Q: What packaging formats are available? A: The main part RCS3216F95R3CS is supplied in standard packaging. Substitute parts CR1206-FX-95R3ELF, ERJ-8ENF95R3V, and RC1206FR-0795R3L are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is standard for high-volume SMD assembly operations.
