Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict adherence to the following criteria:

Primary Substitution Parameters:

Resistance value: 82 kOhms (exact match required)
Package / Case: 1206 (3216 Metric) (exact match required)
Power rating: 0.25W minimum (equal or higher acceptable)
Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 155°C minimum (equal or wider acceptable)
RoHS3 Compliance: Required
Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) acceptable

Secondary Consideration:

Tolerance: ±5% (main part) to ±1% (substitute parts) — tighter tolerance is acceptable as it maintains or improves circuit performance

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on tolerance specification:

Category A — Tolerance Match (±5%): RC1206JR-0782KL (YAGEO)

Category B — Improved Tolerance (±1%): AC1206FR-0782KL (YAGEO), CR1206-FX-8202ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW120682K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), ERJ-8ENF8202V (Panasonic Electronic Components), KTR18EZPF8202 (Rohm Semiconductor), RC1206FR-0782KL (YAGEO)

Category C — Enhanced Power Rating (0.75W): CRCW120682K0FKEAHP (Vishay Dale)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Tolerance Match or Improved):

RC1206JR-0782KL (YAGEO) is the direct equivalent with matching ±5% tolerance and Active product status. This part provides identical electrical and mechanical characteristics with 5,200 units in stock.

Recommended Substitutes (Active Status, Improved Tolerance ±1%):

AC1206FR-0782KL (YAGEO), CR1206-FX-8202ELF (Bourns Inc.), CRCW120682K0FKEA (Vishay Dale), KTR18EZPF8202 (Rohm Semiconductor), and RC1206FR-0782KL (YAGEO) are all Active status parts with ±1% tolerance, providing tighter resistance accuracy. These parts maintain all other electrical and mechanical specifications identical to the main part. Selection among these options is based on availability and packaging preference (Tape & Reel or Cut Tape).

Enhanced Power Rating Option:

CRCW120682K0FKEAHP (Vishay Dale) provides 0.75W power rating in the same 1206 package with ±1% tolerance and Active status. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher power dissipation capability.

Not Recommended for New Designs:

ERJ-8ENF8202V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. While electrically and mechanically compatible, this part should not be selected for new circuit designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can I substitute RCS3216J823CS with a ±1% tolerance part?

A: Yes. Tighter tolerance (±1%) is acceptable as a substitute for ±5% tolerance. The ±1% parts (AC1206FR-0782KL, CR1206-FX-8202ELF, CRCW120682K0FKEA, KTR18EZPF8202, RC1206FR-0782KL) maintain circuit performance while improving resistance accuracy.

Q2: Are all substitute parts mechanically compatible with the original part?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts use the 1206 (3216 Metric) package with identical footprint and mounting characteristics. Physical dimensions vary slightly (length 3.10mm to 3.20mm, height 0.60mm to 0.75mm), but these variations are within standard PCB design tolerances for 1206 components.

Q3: What is the difference between the substitute parts from different manufacturers?

A: All substitute parts meet the same electrical specifications (82 kOhms, ±1%, 0.25W, 1206 package, -55°C to 155°C). Differences exist in:

Manufacturer-specific features (e.g., Automotive AEC-Q200 certification, High Voltage capability)
Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Cut Tape)
Inventory availability
Product status (Active vs. Not For New Designs)

Q4: Can I use CRCW120682K0FKEAHP (0.75W) as a direct substitute?

A: Yes. The 0.75W power rating is higher than the original 0.25W specification, making it suitable for applications requiring greater power dissipation. All other electrical and mechanical parameters remain compatible.

Q5: Why is ERJ-8ENF8202V marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates the manufacturer (Panasonic Electronic Components) has discontinued this part for new applications. While existing inventory is available and the part is electrically compatible, new circuit designs should select from Active status alternatives.

Q6: Do all substitute parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. All listed parts, including the main part RCS3216J823CS, have Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q7: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are RoHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the original RCS3216J823CS.
