RE0805FRE07237KL Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RE0805FRE07237KL is a 237 kOhms ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by YAGEO in 0805 (2012 Metric) package format. This component is rated for 0.125W (1/8W) power dissipation with an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Substitute parts are identified when they maintain the same resistance value, package format, and core electrical characteristics while potentially offering enhanced specifications such as improved tolerance, higher power rating, or automotive-grade certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the RE0805FRE07237KL are qualified based on the following criteria:

• Identical Resistance Value: 237 kOhms
• Identical Package Format: 0805 (2012 Metric)
• Identical Composition: Thick Film
• Identical Temperature Coefficient: ±50ppm/°C
• Identical Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 155°C
• Identical RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Identical Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitutes are Panasonic ERJ-PB6 series resistors. These parts maintain all core electrical and mechanical parameters while offering enhanced tolerance specifications (±0.1% or ±0.5% versus ±1%) and higher power ratings (0.25W versus 0.125W). Both substitutes include automotive-grade AEC-Q200 certification and pulse withstanding capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both Panasonic ERJ-PB6 series substitutes are qualified replacements for the RE0805FRE07237KL based on maintained core electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between substitute options depends on application requirements:

ERJ-PB6B2373V provides the tightest tolerance specification at ±0.1% and includes AEC-Q200 automotive certification with pulse withstanding capability. This option is suitable for precision applications requiring enhanced accuracy.

ERJ-PB6D2373V offers ±0.5% tolerance with identical AEC-Q200 automotive certification and pulse withstanding capability. This option balances tolerance performance with cost considerations.

Both substitutes feature doubled power rating (0.25W versus 0.125W) and maintain identical operating temperature range, RoHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 rating. The maximum seated height increases from 0.024" to 0.028", which must be verified against PCB layout constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ERJ-PB6B2373V and ERJ-PB6D2373V be used interchangeably with RE0805FRE07237KL?

A: Both Panasonic parts are direct substitutes maintaining identical resistance value, package format, composition, temperature coefficient, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are tolerance specification and power rating. Verify that the application does not require the original ±1% tolerance specification and that the increased seated height (0.028" versus 0.024") does not conflict with PCB layout.

Q: What is the significance of the higher power rating in the substitute parts?

A: The Panasonic substitutes are rated for 0.25W (1/4W) compared to the original 0.125W (1/8W). This provides additional thermal margin and allows operation at higher power dissipation levels. If the application requires only 0.125W dissipation, the higher rating does not negatively impact performance.

Q: Are the Panasonic substitutes suitable for automotive applications?

A: Yes. Both ERJ-PB6B2373V and ERJ-PB6D2373V carry AEC-Q200 automotive certification and pulse withstanding capability. The original RE0805FRE07237KL does not specify automotive qualification.

Q: What is the impact of the tolerance difference between ±1% and ±0.1% or ±0.5%?

A: The substitute parts offer tighter tolerance specifications, meaning the actual resistance value will be closer to the nominal 237 kOhms. This is beneficial for precision circuits but not detrimental if the original ±1% tolerance was acceptable for the application.

Q: Does the increased seated height of the substitute parts affect PCB compatibility?

A: The seated height increases from 0.024" (0.60mm) to 0.028" (0.70mm). This 0.004" (0.10mm) difference must be evaluated against PCB design constraints, solder mask clearances, and component placement density. Verify clearance with PCB layout before substitution.

Q: Are all parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The RE0805FRE07237KL and both Panasonic substitutes are ROHS3 compliant with identical MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.
