Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RMC1/8K3160FTP is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters: resistance value (316 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), power rating (0.25W), composition (thick film), package type (1206), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute parts are grouped by manufacturer and product status, with additional differentiation based on certifications such as AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and RoHS compliance status where applicable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: RMC1/8K3160FTP remains the specified component when availability and sourcing from Kamaya Inc. are confirmed.

First Alternative: RMCF1206FT316R (Stackpole Electronics Inc) is recommended as the primary substitute. This part maintains Active product status, carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification, and is ROHS3 compliant. Electrical and mechanical parameters are fully equivalent to the main part.

Second Alternative: RC1206FR-07316RL (YAGEO) is suitable for applications where moisture resistance is a design requirement. This part maintains Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Electrical specifications are fully equivalent.

Third Alternative: ERJ-8ENF3160V (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries AEC-Q200 automotive qualification and ROHS3 compliance but is classified as Not For New Designs. This part is acceptable only for legacy system maintenance or when existing design documentation specifies Panasonic components.

Selection between alternatives should be based on: (1) product status requirements for new designs, (2) automotive qualification necessity (AEC-Q200), (3) specific environmental or compliance mandates, and (4) supply chain availability and lead time considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF1206FT316R be used as a direct replacement for RMC1/8K3160FTP?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (316 Ohms ±1%, 0.25W, ±100ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C operating range) and mechanical package (1206). RMCF1206FT316R is ROHS3 compliant and AEC-Q200 certified, making it suitable for applications requiring automotive qualification.

Q: What is the difference between RC1206FR-07316RL and other substitutes?

A: RC1206FR-07316RL is specified as moisture resistant. All substitute parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating. The moisture-resistant feature of the YAGEO part provides additional environmental protection in high-humidity applications.

Q: Why is ERJ-8ENF3160V marked as Not For New Designs?

A: ERJ-8ENF3160V carries a Not For New Designs status from Panasonic, indicating the manufacturer is phasing out this product line. While electrically and mechanically equivalent, this part should be used only for legacy system support or maintenance of existing designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: RMCF1206FT316R, RC1206FR-07316RL, and ERJ-8ENF3160V are all ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance status for the main part RMC1/8K3160FTP is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Do dimensional differences between parts affect PCB layout?

A: Dimensional variations exist within tolerance. RMC1/8K3160FTP and RC1206FR-07316RL measure 0.122" L x 0.063" W (3.10mm x 1.60mm). RMCF1206FT316R and ERJ-8ENF3160V measure 0.126" L x 0.063" W (3.20mm x 1.60mm). Height differences range from 0.025" to 0.028". These variations remain within 1206 package specifications and do not require PCB redesign.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for automotive applications?

A: Both RMCF1206FT316R and ERJ-8ENF3160V carry AEC-Q200 automotive qualification. RMCF1206FT316R is preferred due to Active product status. ERJ-8ENF3160V is acceptable for legacy automotive designs.
