Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RCS3216J685CS is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Resistance value: 6.8 MOhms (exact match required)
• Package type: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
• Power rating: 0.25W minimum (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C minimum (exact match required)
• RoHS3 compliance (required for regulatory alignment)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (required for environmental stability)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Tolerance: ±5% or tighter (±1% is acceptable as superior specification)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match)
• Termination count: 2 (exact match required)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on tolerance specification: direct equivalents matching ±5% tolerance, and superior-specification alternatives with ±1% tolerance. All listed substitutes maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical performance envelope, and environmental compliance ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Matching Tolerance): RC1206JR-076M8L (YAGEO) is the direct functional equivalent to RCS3216J685CS, matching all electrical specifications including ±5% tolerance, power rating, and package configuration. Both components maintain identical operating temperature ranges and environmental compliance certifications. This substitute is suitable for applications where tolerance specification is a critical design parameter.

Superior-Specification Alternatives (Tighter Tolerance): CRCW12066M80FKEA (Vishay Dale) and RC1206FR-076M8L (YAGEO) both provide ±1% tolerance, representing improved accuracy over the original ±5% specification. These components are electrically and mechanically compatible with RCS3216J685CS while offering enhanced precision. CRCW12066M80FKEA includes automotive AEC-Q200 qualification, suitable for applications requiring automotive-grade reliability. RC1206FR-076M8L maintains moisture-resistant characteristics aligned with the original design.

All substitute parts are Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory alignment and environmental stability equivalent to the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can CRCW12066M80FKEA replace RCS3216J685CS in all applications? A: CRCW12066M80FKEA is electrically and mechanically compatible with RCS3216J685CS. The ±1% tolerance specification is tighter than the original ±5%, making it suitable for applications where improved accuracy is beneficial or neutral. Automotive AEC-Q200 qualification provides additional reliability assurance for demanding environments.

Q: What is the difference between RC1206FR-076M8L and RC1206JR-076M8L? A: Both YAGEO components are mechanically and thermally identical in 1206 package. RC1206FR-076M8L features ±1% tolerance, while RC1206JR-076M8L matches the original ±5% tolerance. Selection depends on application tolerance requirements. Both maintain moisture-resistant characteristics and identical operating temperature ranges.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format? A: All substitute parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The original RCS3216J685CS packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Do substitute parts maintain the same physical dimensions? A: All substitute parts use 1206 (3216 Metric) package with compatible dimensions. RC1206FR-076M8L and RC1206JR-076M8L have length 0.122" (3.10mm) versus RCS3216J685CS at 0.126" (3.20mm), representing a 0.004" (0.10mm) difference within standard PCB layout tolerances. Height specifications range from 0.024" to 0.026", all within acceptable limits for standard assembly processes.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant? A: All listed components, including the original RCS3216J685CS and all substitutes, are ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 rating, ensuring regulatory alignment for global applications.
