Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RVC1206JT360R are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Parameters: Resistance value (360 Ohms), tolerance (±5%), power rating (0.25W), temperature coefficient (±200ppm/°C), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C) must match exactly.

Mechanical Parameters: Package type (1206 / 3216 Metric) and number of terminations (2) must be identical to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.

Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and MSL Level 1 rating are maintained across all substitutes.

Packaging Format: Substitutes are available in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) formats suitable for automated assembly.

Three qualified substitutes are identified: RMCF1206JG360R (Stackpole Electronics Inc, automotive-grade), MCR18ERTJ361 (Rohm Semiconductor, discontinued at DiGi Electronics), and CR1206-JW-361ELF (Bourns Inc., moisture-resistant variant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

RMCF1206JG360R is qualified as an upgrade substitute with automotive AEC-Q200 certification. This part maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications of the RVC1206JT360R while providing enhanced reliability for automotive applications. Product status is active with high inventory availability (20706 pieces).

MCR18ERTJ361 from Rohm Semiconductor is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. However, this part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, limiting future procurement options. Current inventory is 2336 pieces. Selection of this substitute should account for long-term supply chain considerations.

CR1206-JW-361ELF from Bourns Inc. is qualified as an upgrade substitute with moisture-resistant thick film composition. All electrical specifications and package dimensions match the RVC1206JT360R. Product status is active with high inventory availability (20811 pieces), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced moisture protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF1206JG360R be used as a direct replacement for RVC1206JT360R?

A: Yes. RMCF1206JG360R matches all critical electrical parameters (360 Ohms ±5%, 0.25W, ±200ppm/°C, -55°C ~ 155°C) and mechanical specifications (1206 package, 2 terminations). The automotive AEC-Q200 certification represents an upgrade in qualification level while maintaining full compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the RVC1206JT360R and CR1206-JW-361ELF?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical with matching resistance, tolerance, power rating, temperature coefficient, and operating range. CR1206-JW-361ELF includes moisture-resistant thick film composition as an additional feature. Physical dimensions differ slightly: CR1206-JW-361ELF has a maximum seated height of 0.030" (0.75mm) compared to 0.026" (0.65mm) for RVC1206JT360R.

Q: Is MCR18ERTJ361 still available for new designs?

A: MCR18ERTJ361 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. While 2336 pieces remain in current inventory, this part is not recommended for new designs requiring long-term supply assurance. RMCF1206JG360R or CR1206-JW-361ELF are preferred alternatives with active product status.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same packaging format?

A: RMCF1206JG360R and CR1206-JW-361ELF are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, matching the RVC1206JT360R packaging. MCR18ERTJ361 is available in Cut Tape (CT) and Digi-Reel® formats, which may require different handling in automated assembly processes.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. RVC1206JT360R, RMCF1206JG360R, MCR18ERTJ361, and CR1206-JW-361ELF are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
