RCS3216F9763CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RCS3216F9763CS is a 976 kOhms ±1% 0.25W thick film chip resistor in 1206 (3216 Metric) package manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics. This component is classified as Active product status with anti-sulfur and moisture-resistant construction. The part is ROHS3 compliant and suitable for general industrial and commercial applications requiring precision resistive elements with stable temperature characteristics across the -55°C to 155°C operating range.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, power rating) and mechanical compatibility (package type, dimensions, termination count) to ensure direct functional replacement in circuit designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216F9763CS is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Requirements:

• Resistance value: 976 kOhms (exact match)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match)
• Power rating: 0.25W / 1/4W (exact match)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C (minimum requirement)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package designation: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS3 compliance (mandatory)
• REACH unaffected status (mandatory)

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number RCS3216F9763CS in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (Active Status, General Use): The CRCW1206976KFKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-07976KL (YAGEO) are recommended as primary substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturing support. The CRCW1206976KFKEA includes AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, providing additional reliability assurance for demanding applications. The RC1206FR-07976KL offers moisture-resistant construction aligned with the original part's environmental specifications.

Secondary Selection (Automotive Applications): The ERJ-8ENF9763V (Panasonic Electronic Components) is electrically and mechanically equivalent with AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. However, this part carries a "Not For New Designs" product status designation, limiting its suitability for new circuit development. This part remains acceptable for legacy system maintenance and repair applications where existing design validation has been completed.

Compliance Verification: All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW1206976KFKEA replace RCS3216F9763CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. The CRCW1206976KFKEA is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both parts share identical resistance (976 kOhms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 155°C). Direct substitution is supported without circuit modification.

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts?

A: All three substitute parts (CRCW1206976KFKEA, ERJ-8ENF9763V, RC1206FR-07976KL) meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications. The CRCW1206976KFKEA and ERJ-8ENF9763V include AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. The ERJ-8ENF9763V carries "Not For New Designs" status. The RC1206FR-07976KL emphasizes moisture-resistant construction. Selection depends on application requirements and design phase (new vs. legacy).

Q: Are there dimensional differences between substitute parts?

A: Minor dimensional variations exist within acceptable tolerances. The RCS3216F9763CS has a maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm), CRCW1206976KFKEA 0.024" (0.60mm), ERJ-8ENF9763V 0.028" (0.70mm), and RC1206FR-07976KL 0.026" (0.65mm). All parts conform to 1206 package specifications and are suitable for standard PCB assembly processes. Verify height clearance in space-constrained applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF9763V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. The part remains available for existing applications and maintenance. For new designs, CRCW1206976KFKEA or RC1206FR-07976KL are preferred.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity rating?

A: Yes. All parts, including the main part RCS3216F9763CS, carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage, handling, or assembly.

Q: Are substitute parts available in the same packaging options?

A: The main part RCS3216F9763CS is specified with "-" packaging notation. All substitute parts are available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, the standard format for high-volume SMD component distribution. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specification.
