Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216J625CS is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Resistance Value: 6.2 MOhms (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (mechanical compatibility)
• Power Rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or greater acceptable)
• Composition: Thick Film (construction type)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (equal or wider range acceptable)
• Temperature Coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (equal or better acceptable)
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant (regulatory requirement)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (environmental requirement)

Allowable Variation:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (±1% acceptable as superior specification)

The RC1206FR-076M2L from YAGEO meets all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute with improved tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: RCS3216J625CS

The RCS3216J625CS maintains Active product status with established supply availability (802 units in stock). This part is suitable for applications where ±5% tolerance specification is acceptable and anti-sulfur properties are required. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating confirm suitability for standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Substitute Part: RC1206FR-076M2L

The RC1206FR-076M2L from YAGEO qualifies as a direct substitute with superior tolerance specification (±1% versus ±5%). This part maintains identical electrical performance across all critical parameters including resistance value, power rating, operating temperature range, and temperature coefficient. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed through identical package designation and functionally equivalent physical dimensions. ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating match the primary part requirements. Higher inventory availability (5776 units) may support supply chain continuity. The tighter tolerance specification provides enhanced precision for applications sensitive to resistance value variation.

Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in circuit designs where the specified parameters are required. Selection between primary and substitute parts should be based on supply availability, tolerance requirements, and packaging format preferences (bulk versus tape & reel).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RC1206FR-076M2L replace RCS3216J625CS in all applications?

A: Yes. The RC1206FR-076M2L meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution. The ±1% tolerance specification of the substitute part is superior to the ±5% specification of the primary part, making it suitable for applications with equal or tighter tolerance requirements.

Q: What are the physical dimension differences between these parts?

A: The RCS3216J625CS measures 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.66mm). The RC1206FR-076M2L measures 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm) with maximum seated height of 0.026" (0.65mm). Both parts conform to the 1206 (3216 Metric) package standard and are functionally compatible for PCB placement and soldering operations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both RCS3216J625CS and RC1206FR-076M2L are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: Both parts have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or manufacturing processes.

Q: What packaging formats are available?
